2) When should I schedule my senior portrait appointment?

Q) Why do schools have a contract photographer?
A) Contracting one photographer simplifies getting photos of dances, sports groups, graduation, etc.  It simplifies it for the school, but it is not necessarily the best choice for students wanting high quality senior portraits.  All of our seniors come to Danette Kay Photography because they choose to, even if they are contracted to other studios. 

Q) When should I schedule my senior portrait appointment?
A) Contrary to what most parents think, senior portraits are not taken in the senior year.  Because the deadline for submitting the yearbook portraits is in the fall, most seniors are photographed in the spring & summer before they begin their senior year.  If, however, you are seeking the best specials, and want to save a lot of money, schedule your son or daughter to be photographed in April, May, or June of their junior year.  The best buys are before our peak summer season.  The earlier your senior is photographers, the more you save.  Your son or daughter will not change much between now and July, but your savings will!
