Yearbook Deadline: September 30th, 2026
Session Fee: $40 for 30 minute session in studio
Please arrive 10 minutes early and be prepared. Your session may allow for extra portraits if you arrive on time.
Yearbook Portrait Wardrobe Requirements:
Specific wardrobe requirements for yearbook portraits are to ensure a cohesive and professional appearance. Don’t worry, we provide the clothing for your convenience if you do not have your own. Please read the guidelines below for ladies and gentlemen
Gentlemen are required to wear a black suit jacket, a white button-down shirt, and a black tie. We recommend wearing a plain white t-shirt without logos underneath the white button-down shirt to avoid any visibility.
Ladies are required to wear the black velvet drape. Our studio provides this for you but please wear or bring a tank top so our stylists can easily fit the velvet drape around your shoulders. If you forget your own, we do have tank tops available to change into for your convenience.
Portrait Options include:
Yearbook Portrait: This is the start of your session, so please wear your preferred yearbook outfit first. Once your yearbook portrait is complete, we move on to the other options listed below.
Cap and Gown Portraits: We have the Western Christian cap & gowns here at our studio, along with some accompanying props.
Showcase Your Personality with Personalized Senior Portraits: Let's create portraits that truly represent who you are! Bring an outfit change or a mix of shirts/tops, sports gear, casual wear, hats or formal attire. Think about some props that reflect your interests, like musical instruments or sports equipment. Pets are welcome, but please let us know in advance if they will be joining us!
Viewing and Ordering Information:
Images will be available for viewing and ordering immediately following your session. We ask for a parent/guardian to accompany their student during this process. To make it easy for you to choose, we project your portraits on a TV in one of our sales rooms. Please note we do not post pictures online or send them via email for review or ordering purposes. You must plan to view and/or place your order after the session; this process typically takes about 30-45 minutes, though it may vary. The yearbook image MUST be chosen by your student prior to leaving your appointment. If not, the first photo taken from your session will be submitted to the yearbook staff.
Senior Portrait Packages: Scroll down, and you'll find a variety of packages to choose from. Purchasing packages are optional and are designed to provide maximum value while preserving special moments for generations. If you pre-order your package before your session or pay in full on the same day as your senior portrait session, you will receive a 5% discount and free shipping. Please be aware that there are no exceptions to this discount. If you’ve pre-purchased a package but want to upgrade it on the day of your session, no problem! We strive to make this experience as streamlined and stress-free as possible.
Schedule Your Appointment Online: Please click the link below to select a day and time that suits you best. Make sure to allow enough time for travel to the studio and viewing the portraits on the same day. As a reminder, the combined portrait and ordering session could last up to one hour. If for any reason you can’t stay to review the portraits after your session, a $25 deposit is required to book a return date to review and that amount will be credited towards your purchase. Please don’t hesitate to ask our staff for any questions or help.
House Rules/No Photos or Videos: We warmly welcome parents to join us in the studio during the session, as your feedback is invaluable in helping us create images that resonate with you. To ensure a positive experience, we ask your family to please refrain from taking pictures or video of your student, our screens, or displays during and after the session. If it becomes difficult to follow, we may need to ask you to step outside. Only our team members will take photos and videos in the studio. Thank you for your understanding!
