Method of payment

Something that is comfortable, reflects your personal style, and makes you feel confident and relaxed.

You are photographed in the outfit you wear to your session, standing and seated.

Next we dress you in our cap and gown and photograph you in three graduation poses.

After you are photographed, you will wait a few minutes while your images are curated for your meeting with a proofing specialist.

Part of your proofing session, which immediately follows your portrait sitting, is to select your yearbook pose for your school. A proofing specialist will show you all your yearbook pose selections and assist you in selecting and documenting which image will be provided to the school for your yearbook. Additionally, we notate the senior's preferred name to be provided with their image, and double-check spelling.

Schools receive one yearbook pose, and alternate poses cannot be submitted to the school in its place.

After photographing in the camera room, your Senior Portrait appointment concludes with a proofing session where Senior images will be viewed immediately following the shoot.

During this proofing session, you will choose the yearbook pose as well as your other favorites. A proofing specialist will guide you through the selection process and will compile your Senior's portrait order, and Mom's favorite keepsakes. Please allow up to 45 minutes for proofing and ordering. 

Orders not placed at the appointment or by the deadline will not be submitted with the bulk order, therefore delivery before graduation is not guaranteed, so please make sure all ordering parties accompany your senior so that your Senior products arrive when you need them!

Digital picture files will be emailed to all email addresses provided to the proofing specialist at your ordering session.  A secure Dropbox folder will be shared with your email addresses to prevent unauthorized access and distribution of your digital files. A print release for your files can be provided upon request. No refunds or exchanges are available for digital files.

All physical products ordered will be delivered to your school for pickup 4-6 weeks after your full payment.

Not at all! Our studio has special photography caps and gowns for your use in the studio, and any additional regalia that your school has provided for their commencement attire.

We have collars and ties for seniors that would like to wear them in their cap and gown photos. If you would like to bring your own tie and collar to wear under the gown, you may bring a clean, pressed collared dress shirt, but it is not required. 

You're not alone! Fortunately, we have years of experience fitting seniors in caps for photos, and we will work with you to fit your graduation cap appropriately.

We recommend that seniors avoid top-knot and high ponytail styles, as they will affect the way the cap will be seated on the head.

We recommend hair be styled down and shorter layers styled away from the face to prevent unwanted shadows. Bangs that normally cover or obscure the eyes don't photograph as well as layers that are styled above the eyes.

Hairstyles cut shorter than ear length will most likely be hidden by the fit of the cap.

For seniors who normally wear their hair in a patka, we recommend wearing or bringing a turban or head wrap of a more formal nature for the cap and gown photos.

If you have additional questions regarding cap fitting and hairstyle, please reach out! You can contact us at info@lotfivestudios.com with your query.
