It's no secret that senior portraits are one of the biggest expenses facing a soon-to-be graduate. We've seen portrait packages that cost in excess of $300 to $400 and higher. Frankly, we think that's just ridiculous. Additionally, many of the local school districts use out-of-town photographers, so your money doesn't stay local. We generally advise students to use the school's photographer for the yearbook portrait, and come to us for what we call an "extended session".
Our portrait packages include an hour of unlimited photography, either in our studio or at your location (for a nominal location fee). Our studio shoots can also include a number of local locations within walking distance of our Downtown Elmira location, with parks, "industrial" backgrounds, even the Chemung River. When you hire us, you "own" us for that hour. We don't put limits on wardrobe changes, locations, backgrounds, or the number of poses.
In addition, we take the time to get to know you...what your interests are, what you like to do, what your hobbies are, etc. Then, we tailor our portrait packages so that your photos are uniquely you, not some cookie-cutter assembly-line photograph that looks like everyone else's.
Our portrait packages for seniors are the same as our standard portrait package...we don't mark up anything. Our package pricing is simple and affordable; we offer two simple photography packages that cover most situations, including portraits and pet photography:
Package One ($125):
• One-hour photo shoot
• 4x6 proof book of all photos taken (includes a LaVere Media watermark)
• No contractual limit on number of photos
• Reprints available based on our pricing schedule below
• Online web gallery for viewing and ordering
Package Two ($200):
• One-hour photo shoot
• 4x6 proof book of all photos taken—no watermark
• No contractual limit on number of photos
• CD-ROM with high-resolution electronic files of all photos
• Copyright release form (allowing you to get your own reprints at a lab of your choice)

Additional options with either package:
Location fee (within a 20-mile radius of Elmira): $50
