WHAT IS A SESSION?
With our new studio, you’ll have plenty of great options. You get 1 hour in-studio, up to 3 outfits, and 2 photographers.
GETTING READY Get some great ideas for your session from our website! Visit www.ervinseniors.com. Under each session is a gallery of incredible images. For more fashion ideas, look at Pinterest.com/ervinphoto.
CLOTHING CHANGES With each paid session, you will get to wear 3 different outfits. Journey, Equestrian, and My Senior Story sessions allow for 5-12 outfits, depending on the session. If you want help deciding what to wear, our design consultants will be happy to schedule a “clothing design” consultation with you. A great way to add variety to your senior portrait look is through accessories: jewelry, scarves, headbands, hats, and shoes.
YEARBOOK ONLY Some seniors just don’t care about senior portraits. We will be photographing “yearbook only” sessions from April 1- August 15. These mini sessions will include only one yearbook approved outfit and will last approximately 10 minutes. We will retouch your yearbook selection and give it to the yearbook staff. Keep in mind, for as little as $40, you can have a fabulous one-hour session in a beautiful location, with 3 clothing changes. Your yearbook images can be chosen from any of our sessions.

PROPS
HAIR, MAKEUP, ETC
You can bring your pet to any of our sessions except Philbrook. Do you love music, sports, reading? Bring your favorite prop and make your session all about you. And don’t forget about your car. We photograph lots of seniors with their own car, or with a cool car that belongs to a favorite uncle. We are excited to photograph all your fun and creative ideas. Surprise us with something really crazy!
This is not the time to try a new hair style or get a fresh haircut. You want to look like yourself! Girls, even if you don’t normally wear makeup, please apply mascara, lip gloss, and blush. Be careful with the sun or tanning booths. If your sunburn or tanline shows in your mirror, it will show in your pictures. Don’t forget to get rid of chipped nail polish and dark hair roots. Sure we can usually fix it later, but it will cost you extra.
RAINY DAY
CANCELLING
We will call you if it is raining at your session location. It could be raining at your house but dry in other areas, so go to your session unless we call. If it is just overcast but not actually raining, it could be a great day for your session. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t have to be super sunny for there to be great light for your shoot. But remember, it is up to you. If you are not comfortable with the weather, you can reschedule your session.
If for any reason you need to move or cancel your session, there is no penalty if you call us at least 24 hours prior to the session. We value our photographers’ time and hope you do too. If you don’t call within 24 hours of the session, there will be a $30 rescheduling fee. This also applies to NO SHOWS. Please call the studio as soon as possible to reschedule so you can get a premium date and time.
WHAT TO EXPECT On the day of the photo shoot, arrive 10 minutes early so you can get all your stuff out of the car before the session starts. Arrive dressed and ready to be photographed in the outfit you would like for the yearbook picture. Then, you can change into the other outfits. Get ready to have a blast! We promise that your session will be lots of fun!
If you had a Deluxe Session, 3 to 5 business days later you will receive an email with a link to view your images online. You have 2 weeks to pick your favorites. After that, the link to your images will expire. Once your favorites are chosen, we will create your Senior Proof Book. If you had a Standard Session, we choose our favorite images and create a Senior Proof Book, ready
in 2 to 3 weeks. We’ll call you when it’s ready. For $150* deposit, you can take your book home to look at your beautiful images and make selections for your portrait order. Your $150 deposit will apply toward your order. VIP SESSIONS *Deposits for Journey, Equestrian, and My Senior Story will be 1/2 of the minimum print order amount.
THEN WHAT? ordering process. Your finished prints will be ready to pick up in 3 to 4 weeks from your order date. Yes, we know that may seem like a long time, but we put a lot of effort into perfecting your photos. We make sure
each and every picture meets our high standard. This ensures that your pictures are perfect and that you will love them. We offer interest-free Payment Plans.
