Parents,

You've got questions about our Senior Photographers..... We've got answers!

Soon your junior will be a HS Senior, and it is time to select a photographer for senior portraits. Too often parents are confused or misinformed about the process of having senior portraits created. Dont worry were in your corner.

As a professional photographer whose specialty is Senior Portraits, I have prepared this guide to help you be better informed about the senior portrait process and help you make a wise investment.


Please remember this guide's most important messages:
1). Your school's contracted photographer must take ONLY your yearbook picture. Your real senior pictures are your choice.
2). A senior portrait is a once in a lifetime experience. A MAJOR milestone. Expect personalized service from the studio you select! Make this a positive experience!
3). Review samples of work from a studio either on their web site or at a no obligation visit to the studio before selecting a photographer.


Here is a list of the most common questions we are asked when discussing senior portraits with parents:

Q. When should you schedule the senior portrait session?
A. Don't wait until your senior year! Deadlines for submitting yearbook pictures are always in the fall, so most seniors are photographed in the spring before the senior year. We get calls from seniors from local high schools asking to be photographed in July and August. Because of the personal attention we give each of our seniors, there are only a limited number of sessions times available. We offer "early booking" promotions to encourage students to schedule their appointment early!

Q. Why do so many seniors choose Andrews-Photography for their senior portraits?
A. Quality, creativity, reliability, experience, professionalism, service, variety, beautiful headshots, black and white photography, sepia toned images, color tints, etc. etc... We'll do whatever you want us to do- go Downtown Minneapolis? No problem. Saint paul? Find a huge open field? Your High School Theater? Anything...(well, within reason).. Whatever crazy idea you have, we'll discuss it with you and find a way to use it in your portraits. Whether you are traditional or funky and fashionable just let us know.

Q. How do I choose my portraits?
A. At our studio, we will schedule your review appointment as quickly as next week! We'll guide you through the selection process using our multi-media preview system and show you all the creative possibilities and lend our expert advice on what images show you off the best. After selecting your portraits, we will have your finished prints ready in about 4-6 weeks... ready to start enjoying!

Q. How much should I expect to spend?
A. Pricing is important in everything we purchase, but if you choose a photographer who takes mediocre pictures, any money spent is wasted. Don't let this happen to you! All of our senior portrait packages are designed to offer the widest variety of options to meet virtually any need. Remember, we are fair and honest people... if you have a budget, please let us know and we will do our best to help you stay on track! All our portraits are delivered mounted and sealed for longevity Wallet portrait are die cut. Our portrait prices start around $250 and our commitment to your satisfaction is guaranteed!

REMEMBER... QUALITY COUNTS!

Q. What if I am not satisfied with my portraits?
A. We are so sure that you will love your portraits, we offer a better then money back guarantee! If you are not happy with your portraits, we will take more to your liking.

On a personal note....
I am the photographer of this studio. Every portrait I create has my name on it. I pour every ounce of myself into creating portraits you will be proud to display and give to your family, and I take the trust you give me very seriously. I personally promise you that you will get my best and honest effort every time you visit my studio.

Andrews Photography, A little pro bono work for The kids of Tartan High School. This is the second shoot we did for them. Very talented kids and a great set for there act. Guys and Dolls the musical.

The official start to the Holidays, Andrews Photography captures Santas arrival! Andrews-Photography was out at Woodbury Lakes on Saturday the 22nd for Santas arrival. The fun started at 4:15pm and folks were already having a blast at the games and face painting. Families having fun petting the reindeer and taking carriage rides around the mall. The activities tent was jammed with people making cards and decorating gingerbread men. One kid was brave enough to start eating his gingerbread man by biting off the head first. It was hard to see the kids smiles under all those parkas but you could hear there laughter. The cold tried to dampen there spirits but with all there was to do it was hard not to keep warm. Free mini donuts were also provided as fast as the elves could make them. Between the good cheer, frosty the snowman, and hot chocolate how could you not have fun.

It was nearing 7:00 pm and the kids were starting to get a bit fidgety waiting for old saint nick. You could feel the energy in the air something big was going to happen. Then the sleigh was sighted on I-94 heading towards the mall. but per FAA regulations Santa had to land in the parking lot due east. Woodbury police and fire met him there to safe guard the sleigh and refresh the reindeer. Then it was off to the party riding in first class style aboard a Fire Engine. He was escorted up to light the tree and say a few words to the crowd. The fireworks popped and the crowd cheered. Santa told me later that it was the best welcome he had all month and Woodbury Lakes was the place to be and be seen. I asked him what he likes best about christmas and he replied "why its the season of giving and it feels so good to help out my fellow man". If you haven't taken your kids to see old saint nick check out the Woodbury website for times and dates.

Other news, Macys is running a benefit for every Santa letter dropped off, they are giving a $1.00 to there Charity of the year.

And if you need any photo coverage for your holiday party this year dont forget to drop Andrews Photography a line.
