Top Ten Reasons To Get Professional Senior Photos

Why pay extra for Senior Photographs?

Your High School Senior yearbook graduation photo is the one they'll show, when you do become a movie star! Your senior picture will be hung on the family portrait wall for the next 30 years. Your dad will display it on his desk at work until retirement. Your mom will show it to everyone she ever drinks coffee with. While you stare and you have to constantly explain that, in other photos taken at that age, you looked much better, no really.

A school senior photographer's job is not easy and they often don't do a bad job at all. However they are restricted by time, set up, lighting possibilities, clothing choices and post processing time. While the high volume of people photographed in a day results in lower prices, it also results in lower quality.

So here's our top ten reasons why you have to get professional senior portrait pictures!

1.Quality

Is quality is something you care about? Then you already know quality costs more but has a greater value. You can replace a low quality TV but there's no do-over in a few years time for senior photos.

2. Fashions Change

Wear multiple senior portraits taken in different outfits, with different hair and make up. Represent yourself both in a timeless classic style and today's most edgy fashions.

3 Photo Styles Change

Just as clothing and hairstyles change so do styles of photography. While some photo styles are timeless, they perhaps don't represent you how you see yourself. A senior portrait session should include photos that your grandmother would love right up to the 'rock star' shots that could grace you first album cover or be the shot that gets you picked to be on America's Next Top Model.

4. Represent Yourself

Let the world see who you are and what you're into. You need to bring your pet Bengal tiger, rock climbing shoes and the complete works of Shakespeare to the shoot? Who are we to argue (only house broken killer wild animals please).

5. Location, Location, Location

The school photo backdrop is very nice I'm sure, but is it really you? Are you the outdoors type? Do you compete at school? What location defines you? Let's go shoot there!

6. Best Friends Forever!

The future can bring changes, college, work and marriage, so capture that relationship with the special people your lives. The teammates with whom you've won and lost, the buddy who always covers for you, your first love or simply the best friend who can always put the smile back on your face. Not only will you share the experience, you have each other for support during the session and you can share the cost too!

7. Almost Famous

From Tom Hanks to Beyonce anyone who is anyone has had their senior yearbook picture broadcast all over the media. Don't let yours haunt you! In these days of reality TV and cameras everywhere, you never know when fame will come calling for you.

8. Mind Music

You choose the tunes at your photo session. Whatever you want to get you in the right state of mind to to represent yourself.

9. Post Processing

Arrrgghhhh! Stupid zit on school senior portrait day of all days! It could happen to you! We all got them, but with a few clicks of a mouse, they're gone! I've written 3 books on Digital photography, so know a thing or two about post processing. Let our knowledge and experience help you to remove the unfair things in life.

10. Great Value

Few things you buy these days will last 30 years, but your senior photos will. Consider that cost over the life time of the photo. If your school senior photos turn out to be a 30 year embarrassment, how much would you pay to put it right? Less than a buck a month doesn't seem so bad!

The bottom line is, it's YOUR photo session. Wear what you want, bring what you want, change outfits and locations, shoot in our studio or outdoors. We don't book multiple back to back appointments you our our client for the day. We will do all we can to make you feel comfortable and look great!
