so i have to take my senior portraits next month. they mailed me the date & time and i have to call and make the appointment and stuff. one question i have is.. is it going to be just you and photographer(s) & whoever else works there or are there going to be classmates watching you?
another question i have is.. they said on the letter that they have rooms where you can change your outfits. do you have to bring multiple outfits or is that optional? it also says on the letter "We suggest you bring more than one outfit." also, so would it be better if we bought more than one outfit? oh & does it take full body shots? cause i dont know if i should worry about what shoes to wear hahaha. im nervous about this. hahaha. please help. |

When I took senior pictures I did an outdoor session & casual session. & those two sessions costed $80, damn a lot. but yeah you can bring additional outfits & they give you a tent or make you go to the bathroom to change..& yeah its jst you & the photographer or you can bring someone to come along. Makes it a bit less awkward...
& if you're gonna buy copies, Ex. wallets 8 X 12, & etc. its gonna cost hellaella money. $100-$1200 for packages.

As far as the outfit thing, you should do what you want to do. If you find two cute outfits, go for it. If not, stick with what you have.
Honestly, I think you should be asking all these questions to the people at the studio because every place is different. Vickyee (AyeVickaye) said her pictures were done outdoors. Mine weren't. Mine were done in a studio. So we may be answering your questions but they may not be the right answers. But good luck on photo day. Don't be nervous. :) |

They're gonna do all kinds of shots wide, medium, close up but when they submit your picture that you want in the yearbook they'll crop it to the appropiate size.

so my letter says it consists of sixteen poses. and when i went to macys with my mom, she saw her friend who has a daughter going into college. and her mom told my mom that its optional & you only need the one pic for your school yearbook? [me & my moms friends daughter goes to different schools so idk if its the same or different.] and so my mom think right now that i can only do one picture then leave? cause my mom doesnt really wanna pay the money :/ my dad hasnt even confirmed my appointment yet and the letter came yesterday..

the photographer takes multiple shots of you in different angles and they tell you to make an appointment to view and choose what picture you want in the yearbook and ones you want to buy...
