Senior Pics - is it this outrageous everywhere?

Gosh, yes, some of the kids had very ambitious photo albums: mood lighting, location shots, various props (including their cars), costume changes, retouching, etc.

We went with a moonlighting school teacher and got one set of shots with son wearing a tie and one set with him in a sweater. They are fine. I don’t know what everyone did with the small pictures that the kids traded and we received from friends and relatives. I don’t have any pics of other kids floating around the house; they were tossed sometime after senior year. One of S’s photos is posted somewhere at S’s HS because of NMS. I have one photo of son in my wallet (and it never fails to make me smile!) and the rest are in a drawer somewhere. I imagine I might frame one and hang it some day.

So, I am pleased with the results and, in retrospect, think that even our modest approach was a bit over the top for the way we actually live.
