FAQ

Most Common Question

How much is the session and what is included? 

The session is free to all rising seniors and includes up to 10 minutes of photography, a password protected proofing gallery and the option to choose your two yearbook portraits. No prints or digital files are included though purchasing is optional.

2nd Most Common Question

It's been more than 2 weeks since taking my senior portraits and I never received my proofing gallery, where is it?

Most likely it got stuck in your spam folder.  Please search your spam for something from gallery@photoday.io or Evan Pike Photography.  Pro tip, be proactive and add gallery@photoday.io to your contacts or safe list to avoid emails going to spam.

3rd Most Common Question

Wait, the photos are only outside? 

Yes! During covid we moved senior portraits outside and the feedback was overwhelming positive so we've stuck with doing senior portraits outside. If you want a formal studio session, feel free to sign up with the photographer of your choice but only these outside portraits will go into the yearbook.

FAQ - Continued

What kind of senior portrait session is it?

This year we will not take a drape/tux formal portrait inside. Instead, both yearbook portraits will be picked from the single outdoor session. Bring your own outfit to show off your personality and style!  BUT, nothing inappropriate! 

Where will the sessions be?

Please meet the photographers outside the entrance of the upper gym (up the stairs from senior parking lot). Here is a google map link.

Can I bring somebody to my session?

Yes, if you'd like to bring a friend or family member for support or to be in a photo or two with you but please keep in mind that your yearbook portrait will have to be one of only the senior and take into consideration any current health advisories.

What are portrait requirements for the yearbook?

Every senior will pick two portraits for the yearbook, a closer headshot and another that is 1/2 or 3/4 length.

What happens if I need to reschedule?

No problem! First, just let me know by replying to the booking confirmation email or sending a text to 984.777.9997 and then go back to booking site, find an available date/time that works for you.

What if it rains?

If it looks like a quick shower that will pass, we may take cover and wait it out but if it looks like it will go on for a while, we will reschedule. Of course we won't take portraits in severe weather and we may need to reschedule your session. If there is a chance for severe weather, please check your email for an update on rescheduling.

When is make up day?

Right now there is no official makeup day.  If there are a lot of rain days, we will add more dates to accommodate seniors. 

How many outfits can I wear?

You only need one but you can bring another outfit if you'd like to change once. Keep in mind that sessions are only 10 minutes long and you will be changing inside a restroom at school. Some days the school will be locked so you'd have to change in your car.  If you want second outfit, I'd highly recommend to just schedule a second session, it's free so why not?

Do you have any outfit or makeup suggestions?

1. Avoid shirts that are sleeveless or have very short sleeves as they will tend to over emphasize your arms. While it's tempting to wear something without sleeves because of summer weather, sleeves are more flattering in portraits.
2. Avoid T-shirts’ with inappropriate messages.
3. Avoid excessively baggy clothes, shirts should fit well around shoulders for a more flattering portrait.
4. Solid and bold colors tend to photograph better than light or pastel colors or elaborate patterns that may be distracting.
5. If you'd like to wear makeup, we suggest that your makeup should be slightly more than normal everyday wear. Avoid too much around your eyes and don't try anything new the day of your session. Even if you never wear foundation, consider wearing some to reduce shine. Due to glare, matte lipstick is recommended over lipgloss.
6. Guys, please shave the day of your session unless you are purposely growing facial hair.

Can I bring props?

Yes, if you'd like to bring a prop related to a hobby or sport, you are welcome to do so. Of course you may not bring anything on campus that is otherwise not allowed on campus.

Is there a minimum purchase?

The session is complimentary and purchasing is optional! Packages start around $150 and custom collections come with a minimum 350 order. 

Can I pick out my yearbook portraits even if I don't purchase anything?

Yes! Everyone will have a proofing gallery and instructions on how to pick out your yearbook portraits.

I have my proofing gallery, how do I pick my senior portraits?

There is only one way to select your yearbook images and it's not by clicking the hat in your gallery or adding to your favorites, directions coming soon!
