The Best Senior Portraits In The Atlanta, Athens Area.

Graduation Invitations

Over the last week or two we have had a lot of seniors coming into the studio ordering graduation invitations. Our graduation invitations are perfect for graduation parties too and each one can be customized and all feature several images. If you had your senior portraits taken already just give us a call and we can get you some ordered. If you haven't been yet you still have some time too, if you hurry.

Ashley came in last week for her session so she could get her invitations back in time for graduation. Ashley plans on attending LSU next year.

Never Enough Time

Wow, I can't believe it is almost April! The sad thing is that we haven't posted anything since February on this blog. My life has been pretty crazy and I hope it is about to finally get back to normal so I can post more images. We have been pretty busy the last few weeks photographing seniors from the class of 2012 and some models from the class of 2013 along with other things.

Over the next week or two I am going to post some more images with a little information about each person. We are also finishing up on a couple new sets that I hope to post soon. For now I'll just post a few images from the last week or so. Be sure and check back for more soon!

Mailing List Companies

In our area if you don't have the school contract you don't have any access to addresses of upcoming seniors. And these days about the only people that have the contracts are the out of town big photography companies. So, that leaves us having to purchase mailing lists from companies that gather that information from other places, ring companies, sports leagues or other places that sell things to you and collect your age or class information. These lists are not very accurate and cost a lot of money, but that is about the only way for us to get the information. Every year we use our Senior Model program as a way for us to collect names and addresses from upcoming seniors, that way it is more accurate. But just to cover all of our bases we purchase a list as well, that way we get names and addresses from schools where we don't have models. About a week ago we did a mailing for seniors in some of the counties around ours looking for models and today when I opened the mailbox this is what I found.

All bundled together we had 55 postcards already returned that had the wrong addresses on them. These were from the mailing list we purchased. So, why are I telling you all of this? I want be sure that we are able to get our senior information to everyone this year and I need your help! If you want to be added to our Class of 2013 mailing list go to this form and fill it out and we will be sure you get all of our mailings for the Class of 2013. By doing this you will find out about all of the great deals we are offering you and the Class of '13. We are busy working on our catalog right now along with some great new specials. Huge money saving specials! Over the next few weeks senior models will be coming into the studio for some special sessions so be sure and check back here or on Facebook to see some images.

The most important thing about this post is this – go here and fill out this form!

Not Too Late Postcards

Yesterday postcards were sent out that said, "It's Not Too Late For Great Senior Portraits" to seniors all over the surrounding area. These were just to remind you that it isn't too late to get some great senior portraits done before you graduate and leave home for college! Face it, after you graduate and leave the next time you have anything like this done will be at your wedding. After your wedding you will be working and then getting your own children's portraits done and it will no longer be all about you. This is your last big hoorah! Something to remember your high school years with, something for your parents to look at when you are gone. Why would you trust anything this important to just anybody with a camera, or those pictures you had done at the school last summer? Now is your time. Get what you want and deserve, you have worked hard over the last 12 years. Give us a call and get a special one hour studio session with unlimited changes of clothing for only $25! If you want to go somewhere we can still go on locations and to downtown for a little bit more. This special $25 session is for a very limited time, it will end on April 13, and a lot of things are going on between now and then. So don't put this off any longer!

These are just a few we did yesterday of Crystal, she came last summer for a studio session but wanted some more in town. While we had her we wanted to try out a few of our new backgrounds in the studio. Oh, and even if you already had your senior portraits taken you can have more taken now with this special!

New Catalog for Senior Clothing

Today we got a catalog in the mail from Boston Proper, don't know why we got it but I am glad we did. Every year we look for places to find clothing for senior portraits and this one has some really good things, look at the Winter clearance sweater section for some really nice sweaters at great prices. One that is more local and has some great things is Entourage in Athens. When choosing clothing look for something that is simple, solid colors look great. Stay away from big stripes and big floral prints. It is always, always, good to bring something black, remember I said always twice! A great thing is to bring several things that are from other seasons too so everything isn't summery or wintry. Sleeves are good, long or short, I would stay away from spaghetti straps.

The big thing to remember is: if it looks good on you or you get compliments on it, bring it! If you look in the mirror and say, "Man, I look good in this!", then that is the outfit to bring.
