Frequently Asked Questions.

What is the difference between a Yearbook Portrait and Senior Portraits?

A Yearbook portrait is the traditional headshot that appears in the yearbook while Senior Portraits refer to a custom photography experience creating images for personal use and display.

Am I required to do a custom session or purchase a package with your studio to be in the yearbook?

No, while you are required to have a yearbook portrait taken by Keane Studios, you are not required to buy anything extra. We have headshot only sessions available.

What if I just want the traditional yearbook headshot for the yearbook?

We have Yearbook headshot only sessions available in studio as well as a complimentary photo day on your school campus in the fall.

Does my school require I wear a tux or drape?

What about Cap & Gown portraits?

The cap and gown is only available during custom studio sessions (1-Outfit + Cap and Gown, 3-Outfit or Courtyard sessions). We also host Cap & Gown mini sessions in the spring before graduation.

Can I request the Cap & Gown or Tux/Drape during my headshot session?

No, due to the session length, we cannot accomodate those requests. The focus is to get the best yearbook portrait in one outfit.

Does my session fee include any prints or digitals?

No, session fees cover the time with your photographer. After your session you will receive an online gallery to view and order your portraits. You may also request an appointment with one of our friendly Portrait Consultants to guide you to the best collection that meets your budget and taste. Single pose packages start at $99.
