Senior portrait questions

[Anonymous]

Senior just signed up for the free basic session (one background, one outfit). I didn't even know you could do more than one outfit! What am I missing? Where is this photo even going? I thought it was going to be just for one Yearbook photo with his name and graduation year. Are these photos going to be used for anything else?
On the photographer's website, it says yearbook requirements are tux or drape or black shirt. What are seniors wearing for these things?

I think the free basic package is enough. The photo will go in the yearbook and you can order prints as well. Some kids do a separate session with a different photographer. For these, they usually change outfits a few times and go to 2 or 3 locations (overgrown field, downtown, etc).

OP here. Thanks. I surely he doesn't need to come in a tux, right?

I only have girls but I’m pretty certain the studio will provide it (they provided the velvet drape for DD).

We had pictures taken for free but we had to purchase if we wanted copies to keep. also one photo goes in the year book.

OP here. OK, I know nothing about this. So he just needs a dark suit, white shirt, and they add a drape, which is what exactly?

He can wear a tshirt. It's like a mock turtle neck that is just a collar and bow tie. It covers the top of the shoulders too. Looks ridiculous in my opinion. They are very expensive to purchase as well.

Meaning the pictures are expensive

Last year we did several outfits:
Sports team (varsity athlete for all years)
Fake tux (yearbook shot)
Graduation Gown
Casual outfit (khakis and blue button down)

We waited and waited, and shortly before the Christmas holiday, an offer to buy a CD with all photos for $99 because available. Bought it, and printed the photos we wanted in color on photo paper at home.

Some people make graduation announcements from them, but I think those are gift grabs, and did not. But the grandparents did get numerous photos, which they had been asking for

OMG with iPhones I'm surprised these guys are not totally out of business.

Wow what iPhone do you have that takes pictures like this? They want them all similar for the yearbook. I’m cheap but I will say they did a pretty good job. If you’re patient they drop the price.

Not OP but my DD needs to sign up for this. She has no uniform to wear (no sports) so should we just get the basic package? We will just need several copies to give out to family.
Or is it worth it to get the one just above basic?

It is totally your preference. I think the tuxedo is ridiculous for boys and wanted something that he might actually wear so we got a second outfit. I could have done it cheaper elsewhere but did not bother.
