Here at Schwandt Studio, we offer an affordable, professional, one of a kind experience for our High School Seniors. Capturing what makes you and your high school experience unique.
On location, natural light photography will provide one of a kind portraits. My goal is to create a fun, relaxed experience that shows who YOU are and what you love doing. But most importantly, provide portraits that you’ll look back on in 20 years and still be proud of.

Helpful Tips For Choosing a Date:
Morning Session times are 8a-11a
Evening Sessions are anytime after 3:30p until Sunset
You can choose your start time, for example, if you choose a morning session and you’d like to shoot for 1.5 hours we can start shooting at 9:30a or you can start at 8a and be done by 9:30a
Athletes that would like gym/stadium/field/court photos, it is easier to gain access to these facilities in the summer months or on Sundays, although I do not recommend Morning Stadium Sessions.
It will be your responsibility to get permission to use school facilities, along with getting uniforms and any other equipment or gear you’ll want in your portraits. This will mean speaking to your coach. I highly recommend you do this as soon as you book your session. Send them an email so it’s on their radar!!

$125 non refundable deposit to hold date and time.
Sitting fee is $375 for the first hour and $100 for each half hour after. Session fee is due at the conclusion of shooting.

Included in your sitting fee you will receive a 20 page, 8x8in softcover proof book with all processed photos in it along with a digital copy of your yearbook photo with printing rights.
Phone consultations will be set up to talk about location options, time frame you’d like to stay within for your session and the feel/vibe you’re looking for in your photos along with outfits and planning for locations and drive time. These consultations will be scheduled roughly two weeks before your session.
For all sessions, a preview day will be scheduled after photos are processed to view your photos and go over special print pricing, order deadlines and how to choose your yearbook photo.
