We are excited to work again with Upstate Images to offer an in-house Portrait alternative to our Senior families.
Whether you choose an extended portrait session or not:
ALL members of the PVM Senior Class will be photographed by Upstate Images.Using a single photographer guarantees a consistent and professional Senior Section in the Yearbook.
Sitting for your yearbook pose has no cost, but extended sessions start at just $15, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?
All orders in the first 30 days after your session are 20% off with code PVMPROUD.
Why Choose Upstate? There are a lot of reasons!
Their customer service is exceptional, and the quality speaks for itself!
Portrait sessions will be conveniently located right at PVM.
Sitting fees are a fraction of what you would pay privately (and their package rates are very competitive!)
Sessions booked with Upstate earn commission for the school- which in turn, allows us to bring the Yearbook to you BELOW COST!
What should I wear to my Senior Portrait?
For your Senior Portrait, please follow the PVM Dress code and these guidelines:
Black and/or White Professional Dress REQUIRED* (No T-shirts or lettering of any kind)
NO Spaghetti straps or off the shoulder tops (it just doesn't work well for your head and shoulders crop in the yearbook- PLEASE TRUST US!)
We do NOT require a tux or drape (but they will be available upon request.) Please come in your OWN Black and/or White clothing!
*If you arrive in something other than Black and/or White- your portrait will be edited if possible so you can be included in the Senior Section. If it is not possible- your portrait will NOT be included.
Dress like you are going to a nice dinner, not like you are going to mow the lawn :)
Otherwise- pick something you FEEL GREAT in!
Seniors:
Please watch this quick tutorial on how to make your Yearbook Pose selection.
Please note: The yearbook pose must be a photograph where you are wearing Black and/or White on a
GRAY BACKGROUND.
The Yearbook staff will make selections for any Seniors who have not chosen their pose by September 30th.
