A High School Picture is what ends up in the Yearbook.

Usually; the Yearbook picture is taken by a Photographer that works directly with the school (this is called a Contract Photographer). Sometimes; the Photographer comes directly to the school and takes the picture. Other times; the High School Senior is asked to go to the Studio. These Photographs are, usually, taken in front of a background.

Some schools may allow Seniors to take the Yearbook Picture with an outside Photographer. In this case; a Professional Senior Portrait Photographer would take a photo, specifically for the Yearbook. This can be done during a Location Senior Portrait Session.

To avoid any confusion; it is best to check with the school to see if they accept outside photos for the Yearbook. If not; just go to the Studio and get that part done by booking a “Yearbook Only” Session.

Usually; a Studio Portrait Session is done, at the Studio using backgrounds and props. Some Studios will offer a shorter version of a Location Senior Portrait Session. With this option; they would, most likely take pictures inside of the Studio first; then go outside for a few more setups. This type of session, usually, lasts less than a 1/2 hour.

During a Location Senior Portrait Session; expect to spend 2 or more hours with the Photographer taking several poses,in different settings and with a variety of clothing changes. Seniors are strongly encouraged to participate in the selection of props, locations, clothing, etc. The more input; the better the Portraits. This article is just a synopsis of the overall information available regarding this topic.

Let’s Talk Cost: The difference in going to a Studio or opting for a Location Senior Portrait Session is negligible. It's really just a matter choosing the Portraits that are best suited for the High School Senior's personality.
