Click here for Senior Picture Tips Page. Little Extras You can see for yourself and you'll know that Cameo Portraits is going to help you have the best Senior Pictures possible. We provide drinks and snacks during your session-free of charge. At a recent session we ordered in pizza for a senior and her friends...2 of her friends kept saying that they definitely got "less" when they had their photos done by another local photographer. Your not going to pay extra for each clothing change or for having those "little" extras included in your pictures such as including shots with family members, best friends (even the furry ones) and a pic for your MySpace account. All those extras that most photographers charge you for are included in your Senior Portrait Set at Cameo Portraits. Personal Touches We at Cameo Portraits personally photocraft and tweak your final images, retouching is not left up to some out-of-state print company who really doesn't know you or who you really are. Each and every image will be critiqued and digitally developed to allow your personality to sparkle in every photograph that we take. A Photo Session that Works with your Schedule Our Senior Portrait Sessions are made to work around your busy Senior Year schedule. Weekends and evening sessions are available. Cameo provides a private dressing room with a professional make-up mirror for close-ups, vanity with running water, several full length mirrors for multiple views and free refreshments throughout your photo shoot. Cameo Portraits Guarantee Cameo Portraits guarantees all of our work; you're going to love your senior pictures from Cameo Portraits. Your total satisfaction is our goal...we want you happy!! In most cases, only that God awful yearbook picture must be taken by the school "picture taker". You're an adult now-So-Are you letting the school decide what clothes you wear, what car to drive, where to go to college, who styles your hair, which movies to see? So why are you letting them mandate to you who photographs your senior pictures. Now you're on the verge of becoming an adult and it's about time to start making your own decisions. Your school has made the decision (usually bad) on who's took your pictures since kindergarten. Now you get to make the decision. Make the decision you're capable of, choose how YOU want to be portrayed, not the way the yearbook designer (usually a student) thinks everybody has to look. Beautiful summer tans and that gorgeous sun bleached hair will disappear quickly once the senior school year starts, capture all of that now! Don't worry about the heat/humidity, we can start as early in the day as you want, before it gets all hot and humid, we have a private dressing room that has plenty of ice cold drinks. (We did mention that you get free snacks and cold drinks-right?) Sports-Homecoming/Proms - Holidays-Studying - College With the start of school and going all through Winter can be a very hectic time, with so many school activities-homecoming, finding a homecoming dress/tux, football games, cheerleading, Thanksgiving then into Christmas break, checking out colleges and filling out applications, all the sport practices then the games-volleyball games, softball & baseball, basketball and the tournaments, golf matches and all the holidays (and the shopping) that need your attention...don't step into that quagmire of believing you'll find the time later for pictures. If you dread using the pictures that the school picture taker took of you or maybe you think you won't find the time to have your pictures taken this summer-then the time to get those pictures done is no better time than the present (now). You're definitely won't find more time once your senior year starts-the truth is, you're going to have considerably less. Springtime will be busy and talk about being expensive at the spring break (maybe even taking that trip to a warm climate) and that last ever-important prom, purchasing announcements, looking for that dream prom dress or unique tux, renting that 24 foot limo, buying a graduation cap and gown. Get your pictures taken now while the flowers, trees and grass are full, green and pretty; before you spend all of your had earned money (or your parents) on that wondrously beautiful prom dress; or before you start pleading for that hot new car at graduation; while you still have plenty of time to decide who gets them as holiday gifts (everybody from your neighbor to grandma to your boyfriend or girlfriend will love the gift of a framed picture of you). College/Scholarship Applications- Sorority/Fraternity Pledging Have your photos taken early so you'll have plenty of them for placing in your school yearbook, school sport's programs and any of the other extra activity banquet pictures. You'll need to have pictures to include along in all your college resumes & applications and with those much needed scholarship applications. Planning on pledging-you're most likely wanting a picture for each fraternity & sorority recruitment applications. What about school banquets. When your picture is shown up on that big 12'x24' screen for everyone to gaze at, you going to look your absolute best (provided Cameo Portraits id your photographer). Our studio only provides services to a small, elite group of high school seniors. You'll want to get your session appointment as soon as you can.
