Parents,
As a professional photographer whose specialty is Senior Portraits, I have prepared this guide to help you be better informed about the senior portrait process and help you make a wise investment.
Please remember:
1). Your school’s contracted photographer must take ONLY your yearbook picture. Your real senior pictures are your choice.
2). A senior portrait is a once in a lifetime experience. MAJOR milestone. Expect personalized service from the studio you select! Make this a positive experience!
3). Review samples of work from a studio either on their web site or at a no obligation visit to the studio before selecting a photographer. We offer a scheduled free consultation to every senior.
Here is a list of the most common questions we are asked when discussing senior portraits with parents:
Q. When should you schedule the senior portrait session?
A. Don’t wait until your senior year! Deadlines for submitting yearbook pictures are always in the fall, so most seniors are photographed in the summer before the senior year. We get calls from seniors from local high schools asking to be photographed in July and August. Because of the personal attention we give each of our seniors, there are only a limited number of sessions times available. We offer “early bird” promotions to encourage students to schedule their appointment early!
Q. Why do so many seniors choose Visage Photography for their senior portraits?
A. Quality, creativity, reliability, experience, professionalism, service, variety, beautiful headshots, black and white photography, sepia toned images, color tints, etc. etc. etc….. We’ll do whatever you want us to do- go Downtown Houston? No problem. Galveston? Find a huge open field? Your High School Theater? Anything…(well, within reason).. Whatever crazy idea you have, we’ll discuss it with you and find a way to use it in your portraits. Whether you are traditional or funky and fashionable just let us know.
Q. How do I choose my portraits?
A. We will schedule your view and order appointment as quickly as next week! We’ll guide you through the selection process using our multi-media preview system and show you all the creative possibilities and lend our expert advice on what images show you off the best. After selecting your portraits, we will have your finished prints ready in about 6-8 weeks… ready to start enjoying!
Q. How much should I expect to spend?
A. Pricing is important in everything we purchase, but if you choose a photographer who takes mediocre pictures, any money spent is wasted. All of our senior portrait packages are designed to offer the widest variety of options to meet virtually any need. Remember, we are fair and honest people… if you have a budget, please let us know and we will do our best to help you stay on track! All our portraits are delivered mounted and sealed for longevity and packaged in elegant gift boxes. Wallet portrait are die cut.

REMEMBER… QUALITY COUNTS!
Q. What if I am not satisfied with my portraits?
A. We are so sure that you will love your portraits, we offer a better then money back guarantee! If you are not happy with your portraits, we will take more to your liking.
On a personal note….
