Here's what to do after your session:
We hope you had a wonderful session and we know you will love your images!!! In 1-2 business days, your Senior Portrait images will be available online for viewing, Yearbook Pose selecting, and Portrait Package ordering.
These images or "proofs" are very close to being finished as they are color corrected and cropped. Your formal poses are cropped to specific yearbook pose guidelines that keeps your schools yearbook very consistent. These online proofs are NOT retouched however.
Your yearbook pose that you select from your basic session will have basic facial retouching applied. Your Portrait Package that you purchase will have basic retouching as well as any retouching options you add on such as teeth whitening, etc. We will retouch acne, blemishes, remove tan lines and fly away hair. Things we cannot digitally do: iron or fix your outfit, remove stubble, and remove glass glare. We find 99.9% of Portrait Packages purchased are from the Yearbook Pose. This is one of the reasons that we have you select your pose AND order your package within 2 weeks. All of the retouching for your package will then transfer over to your selected Yearbook Pose.
Selecting Yearbook Pose:
At your session, we provided you with login information that you took a picture of with your phone.....follow those instructions utilizing your online code which is your Student ID# (we wrote that down for you on the card). After viewing your images, please select the red button on the bottom left of your screen labeled "Yearbook Selection" all of the images will populate into a new window.....select the pose you want by clicking on it, it will highlight green with a check mark on it. Click "save" and you will be done. If you change your mind, repeat the process. Please note......you will NOT receive any type of confirmation....it's so simple of a process that most parents ask if they did it correctly. Also you should be aware that we at the Studio do not see your selection nor do we get any kind of notification either. Your selection remains saved in our servers till it is time for us to produce what is necessary for your Yearbook Publisher. If you are unsure that you did it correctly, please repeat the process, your selection will be highlighted green. Also please note....the favorites button (heart) we do not see that only you, it is NOT used for yearbook selection.
Ordering Portraits:
All Portrait Package ordering takes place thru our web site. Log in thru our site by following the instructions on the information card we gave you. Look for the green button labeled "BUY" and click on it. Please check thru our packages offered and keep in mind, packages are always your best bet. The per unit price goes down as the packages get larger.
PLEASE NOTE: Senior Portraits Packages are a CUSTOM PRODUCT as well as an investment that we know you will cherish for a lifetime. Once ordered, we cannot offer refunds or returns.....it is a custom product that we cannot re-sell to another family. We encourage you to contact us with any and all of your questions BEFORE you place the order.
Your finished portrait package typically ships out from our studio in 4-6 weeks but as we get closer to school starting it could take up to 8 weeks.
Digital Files:
Your portraits will not be on our servers forever...please consider what you may need as senior year gets closer to graduation time. Colleges have been asking for digital files, parents are creating graduation announcement and lawn signs and banners etc. We suggest you study the package price list and check out our instant downloads, some of which are available at no extra charge with certain packages, and order them with your package for the best price!!! Instant download files do not include retouching. Also, be sure to download the file immediately after purchase as the link does expire!!
Other Info:
- Portraits may be ordered at any time during the school year as your Senior Portrait proofs will be on our servers till graduation. Once they are archived we require a deposit to be placed toward your order to have them re-uploaded and we cannot guarantee the package pricing.
- Retake policy: We do want you to be absolutely happy with your portraits if however you do require a retake, we ask that you schedule a new appointment asap and we do require the session fee again. Depending on your school and their deadline with us, there could be an additional fee involved to rush through the Yearbook Pose.
