Senior Portrait FAQ
Due to yearbook deadlines, all senior portraits need to be completed during the summer.
1. Pick your session/location.
2. Have your photographs taken.
3. 2 weeks later, you will receive a personal pin to view your photos online.
4. Select your Yearbook Image before the schools deadline.
5. Purchase your favorites.
Steady Photography offers three different senior portrait sessions, with session fees ranging from free to $75.00.
The session fee only includes the photographer's creative time, preparing your proofs, and touch up for your yearbook selection (a $20.00 value). Prints, products and digital files for personal use are all purchased separately.
Packages, prints and digital files range from $50.00-$279.00.
Fall athletes should schedule their appointments before fall practices begin. Practices and scrimmages can change at the last minute. While we always try to accommodate last minute conflicts, August is our busiest month for senior portraits and we have limited times available for switching appointments.
Each school has a last-chance senior portrait day in school in early September. Please note that only the Yearbook Only session is available on this day and due to strict yearbook deadline no retakes will be allowed from these sessions.
Our touch up strives to depict the best version of you. We remove acne, smooth out uneven skin tones, add a touch of brightness to the whites of your eyes and teeth, and remove wispy flyaway hairs. If there is any glare on your glasses we will always remove this before delivering the final product. It is never our intention to remove freckles, birthmarks, or scars. If we inadvertently remove something, please let us know and we will correct it. Other touch up options are available at an additional cost, includes fixing tan lines & removing braces.
The sitting fee includes studio time, touch up for your yearbook selection, and delivery of your final image to the yearbook. All prints and products are ordered separately after your sitting. There is no obligation to buy or minimum purchase required.
We have a convenient online scheduling tool. It allows you to see all of the available days and appointment times. If you are having trouble scheduling online, please call the studio. The sitting fee must be paid to reserve the appointment.
We understand that things change. Please give at least 24 hours notice when changing an appointment to avoid another sitting fee. You are not able to reschedule on the website. You must call to reschedule your appointment. If you miss your appointment or forget you will have to pay for another sitting fee.
Within two weeks of your session you will receive an email with a link to your proofs. The email will also include all the information you need to select your yearbook photo and order packages and custom products.
When you view your proofs online there will be instructions for submitting your yearbook image. Please note that once you select an image it goes directly to touch up. If you want to change your image it will require you to pay for touchup on the new image.
If you miss the deadline for selecting a yearbook pose you won’t be the first person…it happens all the time. If we don’t receive a selection for you by the deadline we select the first head/shoulder selection from your proofs and submit it for inclusion into the yearbook.
Please call the studio.
Our retake policy is simple. We will retake your senior portraits free of charge for any reason. However, once we have completed the retake session we delete the first session. There is no option to go back to the original photos. If you want the ability to choose between both sessions, you will have to pay for another sitting fee.
Please email studio@steadyphotography.com and include your name and school.
