At Scott Sylvia Photography, we realize you have many choices when it comes to having your senior portraits created. With that thought in mind, it is with pride that we invite you to consider our studio for your portrait needs.
SE NIOR YEAR: A N EW MILESTONE You senior portraits will be with you for the rest of your life. You want them to capture the real you, and of course, you simply want to look great!
NOTH I NG LE F T T O CH ANCE A great portrait does not just happen by chance. You can count on Scott’s 20+ years of photographic knowledge and skill to put you at ease in front of the camera. Scott’s ability to choose the perfect location, along with his eye for lighting and composition, can turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

We realize most seniors are not professional models, but we will do everything in our power to make you feel and look like one!
This is the #1 local studio. Things come out so much better here and look more professional. — James Waters, Barrington
Some people think all photographers are the same, but do you really want to risk one of the most important portraits of your life to just any photographer? We didn’t think so! That’s why at Scott Sylvia Photography, we offer a wide variety of sessions to meet your personal style and tastes (see pg. 6), plus with your input, we can further tailor the session to suit you. We even offer sessions built to feature you doing what you do best and love the most, whatever that may be: from sports to instruments, horseback riding to you in your car or truck. You can also include your siblings, parents or friends.
Scott & Barbara were excellent! They took the time to get to know me and knew exactly what would look and work best for me! They were also very nice! — Karlie Thatcher, Bristol Aggie 3

I enjoyed how much say I could actually have with the process and how comfortable I was with the photo shoot. Well worth the price! -- Nikki Silva, Barrington
Some schools dictate that you must go to a certain studio for your yearbook photos. Even if this is true for you, that doesn’t mean these have to be the photos you purchase or give to friends and family. Don’t pay two session fees: if you are charged a sitting fee by the school photographer, just bring in your receipt and we will credit you up to $25.00 toward the Scott Sylvia Photography session you really want! Now that’s real freedom of choice.
-- Abigail Fitzgerald Bay View Whether you want a dramatically lit photo that looks like a page from a magazine, or simply a beautiful, classic headshot (or both!) Scott can create it and anything else in between.
YOU DE S E R V E T H E V E R Y BE S T -- Karina Sousa, Seekonk
No two seniors are quite alike, so why should their images look like everyone else’s? If you are like most of the seniors that we photograph, you want your portraits to capture your unique style and personality! That’s why we offer a huge variety of session styles and locations for you to choose from. From inside the studio to on-location at some of the most photogenic spots in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, we can create the look that is right for you. If you have a special place in mind (your home, farm or beach house, for example,) we can even plan your session there - just book a “Custom” session (see page 6). www.scottsylvia.com | 401.245.5713 | scott@scottsylvia.net | 5

AN EXP ERI ENCE When it comes to your portrait experience, at Scott Sylvia Photography, we leave nothing to chance. From your first phone call to your session to the delivery of your beautifully finished portraits, you will experience our outstanding customer service. Creating an amazing experience is our simple philosophy, and it’s why we have been around for close to twenty years now.
MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR (IN A GOOD WAY) -- Patrick Larson, Mt. Hope
Included with every portrait is our flawless retouching and editing that give your portraits that natural looking skin and vibrant colors. In addition, all portraits (except wallets) are mounted to sturdy art board and then sealed with a protective finish that helps prevent fading and fingerprints. All this extra attention to the smallest of details means that your images will look as great in twenty years as they do the day that you pick up your order.

F. A . Q What happens if it rains on the day of my outdoor photo shoot? Due to the outdoor nature of most senior sessions, we are happy to reschedule to accommodate Mother Nature when neccessary. Can I use the images from my session for Facebook or other social media? Yes! Any images you purchase will be provided at no additional charge for use on social media, and made available when your order is paid in full. What if I only want a yearbook picture? We spend a lot of time and energy on each client. If you are looking for only a senior picture for your school’s yearbook, we suggest that you use your school yearbook photographer. I never like how I look in pictures. Why should this time be different? We hear this from seniors all the time - you are definitely not alone. We can assure you that things will be different when you are photographed by Scott. He knows the perfect facial angles, lighting and posing to make even the most camera-shy seniors look their absolute best. After the session, your images are taken to the next level with complimentary retouching to give you that flawless complexion and natural glow. How far in advance do I have to book my session? We have a limited number of senior sessions available. It is recommended that you call now to secure your session time, even if you wish to be photographed later in the summer.
Thank you so much for my senior photos! They came out so good and I can't wait for everyone to see them! -- Lilly Mercer, Coyle Cassidy
Barbara was very helfpul in making sure I looked good in all the pictures. I loved that we did many poses, outfit changes, and scenic views. -- Rachel Pereira, Barrington

At Scott Sylvia Photography, portraits are affordable. With no minimum order, you can get exactly what you want. Some seniors spend $250, and some spend upwards of $2,500.

My sister’s pictures were amazing, so I knew I was in good hands. Scott listened to my concerns and the results were just what I wanted. -- Emily Medeiros, Barrington
We even offer payment plans to help split up your payments if you choose. All it takes is a 50% deposit when you place your portrait order to begin production. You can pay the balance when you pick up your finished order in about six weeks.
DON’T SETTLE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SENIOR PORTRAIT Why trust a portrait this important to just any friend with a camera? Every year we have students call to book a session after they see the portraits of their friends that we took. Suddenly, the picture that they thought was “good enough” that their friend took didn’t quite measure up.
Liam Burns, Barrington
Don’t make the mistake of trusting this once-in-a-lifetime photograph to a once-in-awhile photographer!
YO U DO N’T WA NT TO
put this off
Due to the time and effort we put into every senior session and the retouching and editing of your images, we are limited to the number of sessions that we can creatively photograph each summer.
Simply put, there are always more interested seniors than we can accommodate every year. If you wait until the fall or end of the summer, we unfortunately may not be able to fit you in the schedule, so you’ll want to secure your session now while the best timeslots are still available! By taking your session in the early summer, you will receive the best session prices of the year, along with some special deals and bonuses on your order that are only available to those that book now. Don’t miss out on these! Give us a call today at 401-245-5713, or email us at scott@scottsylvia.net. We look forward to making your senior year something you’ll always remember!
