We Have a Senior Portrait Solution for Everyone!!
We've photographed thousands of Pointe seniors over the years. One thing we've found is that no two students are alike. The same goes for the portrait session that will best capture who they REALLY are their senior year.
This year, we have these options available:
- BASIC YEARBOOK SESSION. This session is for the student who ONLY wants to make sure they look great in the yearbook. From a time perspective, allow 30 minutes for this appointment.
- COMPLETE SENIOR SESSION. This is by far our most popular session for one reason - it includes it all! Yearbook portraits, casual clothing portrait, sports or choir uniform portraits, portraits with best friends, family and pets, and portraits outside in our Back Lot - you decide how to spend your hour with us and we'll make the magic happen!
- GROSSE POINTE OUTDOORS. This is an add-on session to either our Yearbook Session or our Complete Senior Session. It is an on-location session at any single location in the Pointes - your favorite park on your boat, in your backyard - you name it!
- BELLE ISLE SESSION. If you want to Belle Isle to capture images in some of the hidden spots we've discovered over the year, this two-hour outdoors add-on session is for you!
- DISCOVER DETROIT SESSION. This four-hour ultimate outdoor add-on session is truly an adventure experience! It includes a tour of at least four magical locations of your choice in the Big "D". Examples would be a park in Grosse Pointe, Belle Isle, the Art Institute, an abandoned factory for the "urban" look and some action images out on your boat. Like all of our sessions, it is totally customized to the student!
- DIGITAL BONANZA SESSION. If you love having digital files to share, this is the uber session for you! Add one Complete Sesnior Session to either a Grosse Pointe Outdoors session or a Belle Isle session. Then, add TWENTY retouched digital files of your choice with our compliments from either of the two sessions!
- CAP-AND-GOWN MINI SESSION. This mini session is for the student who originally purchased a Classic Yearbook session and decides when they get their cap-and-gown for graduation that they would like a portrait in it. Itr is included at no charge with our Complete Senior Session.
More info on each of these sessions is shown below. Please take the time to explore this page, then give us a call or book your Complete Senior Session online and let's create some magical images together!
What's the Difference between the Classic Yearbook Session and the Complete Senior Session?
In a nutshell, it's options. This chart will explain the differences best:

- an online app with watermarked proof images from your portrait session to share with friends and family;

- the sizing of your favorite image to your yearbook's specifications; and
- the direct submittal of your retouched, properly sized yearbook portrait to your high school's yearbook.
As the chart above indicates, it doesn't include:
- multiple outfit changes;
- multiple background changes;
- images with friends and family;
