Senior Pics - is it this outrageous everywhere?

We’re fortunate to live in an area that has not gone out of control. There is no official photographer for senior yearbook pix. There are a couple, maybe a few, professional photographers who offer packages. These are fairly low key… well, WAY low key compared to some I’m reading about here.

DS didn’t want to do it; asked me to take his pic. I took one with my digital and it came out well, but he didn’t like something about how his arms looked. It went downhill from there, what with the lag on digital cameras between click and actual “take,” and we did not make a good photographer/model team.

So… we hired the lowest of the low key photogs who really knew how to work with a “reluctant” boy. She took a bunch in and around our neighborhood and it was impossible to choose among them. She really captured my kid and many aspects of his personality. The proofs, which we got to keep, were not the “self-destructing” type, so I have all the shots. We bought a package that ran around $100-$125 and I enjoy them every time I look.
