Top 10 Myths about Avalon Seniors
10.
You have to spend $1000 to come here. Not true.
Although many of our clients love their portraits and do
spend a lot on them, we also have clients that spend
less. You probably won't spend under $250, but you don't
have to spend $1000 either.
9.
You have to be a size 4 to come here Not true. We try to
make everyone look their best. If you are concerned
about your size, we can bring out other good features
like beautiful eyes or hair and hide anything you are
uncomfortable with.
8.
I
have to buy pictures from who my school says WRONG!
Your school might dictate who you have to get a yearbook
shot done by. Many schools get a kickback from the
"school" photographer, so they would like you to go
there. But the school can NOT tell you who you have to
buy from. Buy your portraits from whomever you choose.
If you don't like the work of the school photographer,
complain!
7.
Some pictures look kind of sexy, do I have to do that?
NO! Just be you! Some people are conservative, so
we treat them that way. Some people want to look like
super models, so we treat them that way. We judge a lot
by the clothing you bring. We want you to look your
best, but at the same time, be comfortable and who you
are.
6.
We charge extra for everything
Not true. Most studios DO charge extra for many things
like effects and retouching. Most of ours are included.
A few special things require a small extra charge, but
we won't nickel and dime you with extra fees like most
studios. |

5.
We are expensive
Not true. If you compare how much is an 8x10, or how
much is a set of wallets, you will find that our
prices are in line with other studios. Our session
fees are slightly higher because we spend more time
with you. What does often happen is that our clients
love our portraits and want to buy them ALL!
-
4. It takes
MONTHS to get an appointment Not true.
Although the more popular times book further ahead,
you might be able
to get in reasonably fast. Some sessions, like the
Sacramento River Washout DO book quite a bit in
advance. So for these more popular time spots, we
suggest booking up to 6 weeks ahead. For normal
studio times, you can probably get in with 3-4 weeks
notice in summer/early fall, 2 weeks most of the
rest of the year.
3. Box
Portraits all look the same. NO WAY! We have
over 60 backgrounds and do tons of location shoots.
We don't
want them to look the same any more than you do.
2. You
won't have fun during your senior session. WRONG!
Steve and Alicia are lots of fun and are very laid
back. Everyone has a blast here, unlike your
yearbook photographer.
1. We can
make anyone look good. OK, you got us on that
one!
