Senior pictures are capturing your child at a very important milestone in their lives. Besides newborns, they are my favorite sessions! If choosing to do your senior pictures with Amy Stein Photography you will first need to decide if you would like to do a single session or a double session. Single sessions are about an hour long at most. Double sessions are just that...double. They are normally done on two separate dates. Double sessions are good for those who want both summer and fall pictures. Or, they have several sports or hobbies they want incorporated...a lot of outfits, or for those that just love to take pictures. Your session fee comes with one free yearbook edit that is sent to your yearbook instructor if your choice is given to me by NOVEMBER 30th. After that date you will be responsible for submitting your picture on your own. Session fees for single sessions are $60 and double sessions are $100 (paid $50 at each session). The remainder of your fees depends on what you order.
Once your session is over you will be able to view your UNEDITED proofs online. You will then choose what you wish to order. CD's, prints, canvas, videos of pics set to music for graduation parties, tri-fold display folios, and more are all available. All prints are fully edited and full color. Black and white is available upon request. Orders are paid for when they are placed. Editing and printing will not begin on your order until it is paid in full. Payments are allowed. Orders placed after March 15th are not guaranteed to arrive in time to be used in graduation announcements.
Do not make the mistake of not ordering prints from your senior session! Many in the past have ordered CD's only thinking they will make their own prints and it never happens. Years later they contact me upset because their disc has broke, or they lost it, or their computer no longer takes a CD and they can't open it. I will not replace CD's year after year as this has sadly become a constant thing in the past. If you lose your CD there will be a charge to make another. It is not a guaranteed for life item. CD's are great to have. But prints will still be around when your senior is an adult and wants to show their pictures to their own children or grandchildren! If you do a CD only, please, please make prints somewhere!
Shipping is added on to each print order. Shipping can range anywhere from $1 - $6.
Yearbook picture choices for Great Bend Seniors need submitted by November 30th in order to be submitted to the yearbook on time. Any choice after the 30th of November will be billed $10 on to your order or you will need to submit it yourself. Your procrastination on choosing your yearbook picture will not constitute an emergency on my end! I have another job that is full time besides my photography business so my editing time is little...I need plenty of time to get them done before your deadline so do not procrastinate! :) Seniors from towns other than Great Bend, your yearbook choices need submitted a full 4 weeks before your yearbook deadline for free submission. Otherwise the $10 fee will apply to submit it.
The majority of my senior sessions are done outdoors. I do have an indoor studio available if indoor shots are requested. They are more traditional, head shot type of close up poses due to space limitations of my studio. If indoor pictures are requested at other indoor venues such as the Bowling Alley, the college swimming pool, or the High School gymnasium, please know that the lighting in these places is horrible and the quality of your pictures may be effected.
Senior Sessions are normally booked in the spring of the student's JUNIOR year or the early summer before their senior year. By the end of May or very start of June of your junior year I am typically already full on senior pictures. If wanting Summery outfits and backgrounds (green colors, flowers) then June - mid October is best. If wanting fall colors and leaves on the ground late October and early November is best...these months fill up the fastest. If waiting too long to book...you will be taking them in December and with outdoorsy locations looking blah and barren most will be taken with bricks, alleys, etc. You can choose your own location(s) or I can choose for you!
