Senior Portrait Packages and Prices can be found on the "Pricing" page of this website.

Be sure to see "Putting Your Best Face Forward" on the "Tips" page of this website.

 

Preview Poses During Your Session

Our Professional Quality Digital Imaging Equipment allows us to let you preview your poses on our large 19" computer monitor (not a tiny LCD camera screen), making sure they turn out the way you like, before leaving our studio!  Throughout your session, you will be reviewing your poses, choosing which you want to keep or delete.  If a Parent or someone else would like to have input, they must be present during your session.

About Your Session Time

The time for your session (as noted above) is reserved exclusively for you.  Your session time begins at your scheduled time (not when you arrive).  We do not double-book appointments, but we do schedule session back-to-back.  Please arrive ten minutes early, dressed in your first outfit with hair (and make-up) done, ready to be photographed.  If you arrive after your scheduled time, your session will have to be rescheduled for another day.

About "Quick Proofs"

After completing your Senior Session, "Quick Proofs" will be printed before you leave.  Our studio policy is to check "Quick Proofs" out to you for three days, allowing you and your family to make your final portrait selections in the comfort of your own home.  We don't require you sit through a high-pressure sales presentation.

No deposit is required to take the "Quick Proofs" home!  

Be sure to take the time to make your pose selections while you have the proofs checked out.  If, for any reason, pose selections cannot be made during the three days immediately following your session date, we recommend you ask to check out the Quick Proofs at a time more convenient for you.  A $75 non-refundable payment toward your order is required to check out the "Quick Proofs" a second time, if they are still available.

If no order is placed from your Senior Session, the images will be deleted from our system after three months, and no refund will be made.

MESSAGE TO PARENTS:

In almost the blink of an eye, your senior will be graduating and going off to college!  This Senior Year is one of the most important and memorable years of your child's life, marking the culmination of many years of hard work in the relentless pursuit of that important high school diploma ... the first step toward a bright and prosperous future.

As parents, we know the struggles you've experienced along the way.  That's why it is important to us that you are informed and included in your child's Senior Portrait experience.  Alongside your Senior, you should begin planning as early as possible.  We urge you to be involved throughout the entire process.  Be sure to check-out your options for Senior Portraits.

If you don't have a family photographer, you'll want to do some comparison-shopping.  Visit other studios, and look at the portraits created by the photographer who would be photographing your senior (sometimes the work of multiple photographers is used for display).  Compare the quality, value and style between studios, and choose the one that you feel is the most appealing, comfortable and offers true value for your hard-earned money.

We would certainly appreciate the opportunity to be your Senior's Photographer!  We respect each Senior's individuality and personality, and work hard to create uniquely individual memories for each of our clients.

Since we use only Professional Quality Digital Imaging Equipment, we have the ability to allow you to edit poses throughout the session, viewing them on our large 19" monitor (not a tiny LCD camera screen).  When you are involved throughout the process, including being present during the session, you can rest assured you will have portraits that thrill both you and your Senior.  To back that up, if we can't create poses you love, you don't pay for the session. It's just that easy!

Life gets hectic, and we understand that you're busy ... often Seniors complete their session without a Parent being present.  If this is your choice, and your Senior is happy with their poses at the end of the session, we are unable to do a retake at no charge. Every Senior has the opportunity to reject any poses they don't like during the session.

We know you have many choices ... but don't trust your Senior's Portraits to just anyplace or anyone.  We've been doing this for 30 years, and we know what makes it great ... an awesome experience with awesome results.  That's what you'll get here.  Period.

REV SENIORS:

We're excited about working with your yearbook staff again this year!  They consistently produce an extremely high-quality yearbook to provide you with treasured memories throughout the years.

Lasting Impressions will be supplying your yearbook staff with photographic equipment and materials for your yearbook, as well as our photographer's time in many instances.  These goods and services are provided at no charge to your school, in return for the privilege of photographing your class.  Our contributions to REV will be made possible through your patronage.

REV PARENTS:

In addition to the Message to Parents above, we would like to reassure all REV Parents that, while it is true that your Senior must be photographed at our studio to appear in the REV Yearbook, you are certainly under no obligation to purchase portraits from us.  We understand that you may already have a family photographer, and we respect your desire to continue your tradition with them. Please be assured that Seniors who come to our studio for yearbook only sessions are treated with the same respect as those who are purchasing portraits from us.
