My son graduated high school last week. I had my younger son take photos of him & the family out in front of our house before heading to the school and also throughout the ceremony. He did get quite a few good photos. But they also had the professional photographer that took several types of photos at the graduation.
I got a chance to look at them online this morning and I chose 5 that I liked. There's a formal portrait of him in his cap/gown, one of him coming down the aisle, one of him coming off of the stage after receiving his diploma, a candid shot of all of the students that were sitting in his row and one of him leaving the ceremony. There was also one of him getting his diploma and shaking hands with the principal but my son got a really good picture of that, so no need to purchase this one.
Anyhow, I put all five photos in the shopping cart and originally I was just going to get 4x6's of these prints (I scrapbook and it's just easier with this size) But she wanted $10 for a 4x6 print!!! I was like:
Then I noticed she charged the same $10 for a 5x7. So I'm going to get the 5x7's and incorporate them into the scrapbook as best as I can. I knew this photography place was expensive but wow, $10 for a 4x6 threw me for a loop. LOL
He never did get the professional "senior portraits" like many do but I've heard those are OUTRAGEOUS!!! Think I just might take up photography and change my career to professional photographer.
