Are Yearbook Pictures "Good Enough" ?

For over 60 years high school senior pictures haven't changed from the traditional head and shoulders pose of tuxedo-clad and black-draped students. This continues to be the required format for most school yearbooks, even today. These pictures are fine as a record of the students final year of high school, but they do little to show who they really are.

Times have changed! Todays seniors are sophisticated and more media savvy. They strive to stand out from their peers. Unique photos help them express their individuality.

It's all about capturing their personality something that can't be done in the 10-minute, assembly line style of typical yearbook pictures. Even if they have to go to the school photographer for their yearbook picture, todays seniors are finding that they can also have more creative and exciting portraits made that come closer to capturing the look that they enjoy and will appreciate for a lifetime. These are the senior portraits that they will share with friends and family.


What separates us from all of the other photographers in the area is that we personalize the portrait session and take all the time necessary to create outstanding senior portraits. They won't look just like every other seniors pictures. Typically, we spend an hour with each client, photographing them in our studio and outdoors, and help them to express their personality. Our sessions are very much like modeling sessions and include many outfit changes.



We work with our clients before the session to provide guidance on clothing choices and how best to prepare for the session. When they come in for their session, they already know us and they are confident and relaxed knowing that they are going to be photographed by someone who is truly interested in making them look fantastic in their portraits. That means taking care of dozens of minor details that are often overlooked by other photographers but make the difference between a good snapshot and an awesome portrait. We don't just spend 10 minutes and crank out the same old yearbook picture that looks just like the one your mother had taken when she was in school.
