Senior Pictures

[Finally08]

We hired a photographer who followed us around MK last May. I could give you her info.
When are you guys going?

I would also look into Orlando photographers that take pictures on Disney property. You will find many photographers in the Orlando area willing to hold photo sessions in Downtown Disney, on the Boardwalk, and at resorts. In my experience, going with an outside photographer instead of Disney Fine Art Photography, you get much more for a smaller price. Good luck and congratulations to your graduate!

I posted below, but just took another look at the senior pictures in my daughter's finished yearbook:

Incredibly, It looks as though about half of all the photos were taken by the student's families themselves, 1/4 used the standard school picture ID issued, and the last 1/4 look to be professionally done, or perhaps by a family member who just knows what they're doing.

I will say it looks as though many families or perhaps students themselves cared more about the pose than the overall image. Some tried for rock-star album cover looks that just aren't formal enough for a yearbook while others took a snapshot from their archives to submit. Not often will you find portrait poses in your family vacation albums.

My daughters' looks fine - my own critique is that I think we cropped in just a little too far to remove a door hinge from the image. I should have taken time to photoshop out the hinge. I also would have liked to see her wear a more formal shirt but she fought me (and won) on using a turquoise knit over a business style blouse. Last note: yes, there are kids in the yearbook wearing T shirts, jeans, sitting or laying oddly and at least one holding a coke bottle... where's that headache icon hiding?

Has anyone had their kids' senior pictures taken at one of the theme parks (we're thinking EPCOT specifically)? Did Disney have a problem with it? We're talking professional photographer with equipment, etc. I'm looking for any advice I can get!

We just had our Granddaughter's senior pics done locally and they turned out great
Afterwards we found out he will be in DW later this year and would have done a session there for us. No trips planned for us until next year I was very tempted to plan a trip during the time he will be there.

What a hoot!!! I laughed and laughed at this!! AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I may just try to get some pictures myself when we are there before our cruise in December. And, I hadn't thought of it before, there are photographers all over the Dream too!

Awesome! I'm making a note to myself to get a picture taken on my 65th birthday, for my Official Senior Portrait!

i have a photographer friend in Orlando who is amazing. she also did a session for some friends of mine at the Boardwalk. those images are SO much better than what is shown on the Disney Event Photography website. i'm more than willing to share her information!
