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.

That's what pulls our heart strings and makes us love them even more.

Nicole, Model shoot in Saint Paul. MN. Nicole braved the cold weather and did a few sets outside. We even did a set at the Blackdog cafe, we all bought a drink but they still didn't like us shooting in the cafe. Andrews Photography set up a glamour shot modified set up with a soft box and reflector. Rear light was warm gelled and balanced for the main light. We used a ring light for the wine background. Nicole will be back in a few months for her H.S. Senior Photos. Andrews Photography cant wait. She was a dynamo in front of the camera and had a winning smile. We should have her comp card up on the sight in a few days. please check back or check out the website for more examples.

Niobium wanted something dark and tribal. Maybe a bit forgotten. Well we turned a drap tight living room upside down and gave it new life. Andrews Photography armed with a tripod, camera and wink flash turned a living room into a lava pit. the faces pop and ther is no shortage of darkness. Here is a bit more about the band and its members.

Kirkland James - Guitar/Vox
Justice Draconis - Didgeridoo/Keys/Vox
Dewza - Drums
Dr. Rossi Pfishopilis - Bass
Adm Bmb - Guitar/Vox

With a powerful blend of modern melodic rock, tribal grooves, and esoteric concepts channeled through a chaotic labyrinth of off-time signatures and twisted musical theory, Niobium delivers an aural audio experience unrivaled by peers.

Conceived in early 2004 by Justice and Kirkland, a new kind of entity was envisioned - One encompassing analysis of life, driven by the evolution of consciousness, represented by a sound created by none other, and supported by a tight-knit tribal brotherhood of fans where anyone is welcomed with open arms. Niobium is the result of these multi-faceted efforts to bring capable beings to the forefront of creative society, to induce change, and attempt to take the world by storm, giving human beings everywhere something pure, something good, and something different.

Niobium's stage show is versatile and never disappoints; Employing the use of live performers, visual projections, costuming and face paint, combined with explosive energy and unconventional technique, Niobium presents spectators with an all-encompassing 'experience' that could not be limited to classification as just a 'show'.

As the fragments fit together, and all the minds line up eager for substance, you will find Niobium more often in venues all around the world as people from every facet of life find themselves already a part of the Tribe.
