2016 was the second year I will be publicly offered senior portraits. All previous years, I have only done senior portraits for friends and inner connections. Please see my portfolio for those photos.
Packages
The following are standard packages. Custom sessions may be devised, and locations can be away from the USC campus.(see Payment below)
Single Session Package
$100
Individual portrait sessions around campus.
Up to three hour session at locations around campus.
Group Session Package
Approx $200 ($50/person in a group of four, $30/person in a group larger than 6)
Lots of students in your organization graduating? Too popular and have a big group of friends? Want to get that one perfect photo of everyone together? This is it.
Up to three hour session at locations around campus.
Couples/Best Friends Package
$140
Perfect for a pair of individuals (that’s two people) who want to capture their memories at the end of a crazy, wonderful journey.
Up to three hour session at locations around campus.
Senior Portrait Package
$40
Intended to replace the portraits provided by Lauren Studios of California, the portrait studio company contracted with the school to provide senior portraits and yearbook portraits. The benefit is that you have reduced pressure from an awaiting queue, on-the-spot review, and you only need to pay the small markup for prints, or get them printed yourself.
Media Add-On
Photos can be produced in print format (3 inches x 5 inches, 5 inches x 7 inches, 8 inches x 10 inches) and digital format (USB thumb drive, DVD disc) at a cost of 10% (print) and 20% (digital) markup from cost of materials. Receipts will be provided for cost of materials.
Things to Know:
Scheduling
1. In April and May, the best time of day for outdoor sessions is between the hours of 4:30pm and 7pm.
2. The most availability I will have for outdoor sessions will be from the Saturday after the last day of class until the Sunday before the end of finals.
3. Book now – I am a senior and I know too many seniors.
4. Be wary that there are tens of thousands of USC students graduating each year – and a good number will be out and getting their photos done at the same time.
Preparation
1. I always come prepared with a mirror, brush, and hair styling product, but be prepared too.
2. Be prepared to think of several outfits, as certain ones may clash with the backgrounds of certain venues and lighting conditions. Consult with the photographer first.
Payment
1. Venmo, checks, and cash are all acceptable and are asked to be delivered within a week of the session and before delivery of all final products.
2. A 25% deposit will be required unless specified otherwise. This is to enforce commitment to session schedules.
3. Sessions away from campus at distances greater than 10 miles will have a transportation charge of $0.15 per mile above 10 miles.
