Senior Picture Day FAQs

If you have questions after reading the FAQs below, please email us. We'd love to help!

What Pictures Do You Take?

On Senior Picture Days, we take traditional, timeless portrait poses AND cap and gown photos.
The caps and gowns are provided by us and/or the school on Picture Day.
In some cases, the schools may have also requested additional photos such as class group photos (including all seniors present on Picture Day), media images, etc. These optional additional photos will vary by school.

Do I Need to Bring an Order Form on Picture Day?

There are NO paper order forms!
All images will be available to view and order in private online albums AFTER Picture Day.
You'll receive an email as soon as the albums are active online. (This is usually within 10 business days of Picture Day!)
We use email addresses provided by the school from your school registration information. If you have additional or updated emails that you'd like to add to your student's album, please email us at service@higherfocusphotography.com with this information - including your student's name, the school name, and the email information.

What Should I Wear?

Please check with your School to confirm appropriate attire for these photos.
Students that do not meet school attire requirements on the designated Picture Day will not be photographed and will require a private session and sitting fee in our studio.

Will my Shoes Show?

Shoes will not show in the portrait poses or the cap and gown photos.
If we are taking optional class groups or media images for your school, your shoes might show - so please dress appropriately from head to toe!

What if I am Absent on Picture Day?

For make-up photos, we offer monthly Open Studio dates in our Woodstock, IL-based studio.
These are walk-in sessions during the specified time range offered at no charge for students requiring a senior photo make-up opportunity. Click here for upcoming Open Studio dates and registration information.
Private sessions may also be arranged by emailing us as service@higherfocusphotography.com. A $35 sitting fee will apply to portrait private sessions.

How Do I View & Order Pictures?

Pictures are viewed and ordered online from private albums after Picture Day as soon as the gallery is active. (This is typically within 10 business days of your Picture Day.)
You will receive an email from High Focus Photography when your album is ready!
We use email addresses provided by the school from your school registration information. If you have additional or updated emails that you'd like to add to your student's album, please email us at service@higherfocusphotography.com with this information - including your student's name, the school name, and the email information.
