Subject: SENIOR
PORTRAITS
This
is it! The final year of your high
school journey begins soon and what better time to plan for your senior
portraits than during the summer months?
Please
read this entire letter, then call the studio at (850) 769-6277 to schedule your
session for any days that there are appointments available, starting in the
month of June 2008.
Recommendation
to shy students or those with special needs (inclusive but not limited to
religious requirements):
For
a more relaxed atmosphere, you will want to schedule your appointment at our
studio, if at all possible.
If
you are not able to have your portraits taken in the comfort of our studio
during the summer, don’t miss out on the final session date that will be
available at the school. There will be a $10 additional sitting fee
charge ($25 Total) for photos taken at the school.
YEARBOOK
INCLUSION: Due to specific format design and software
requirements, only portraits taken by Ro-Mo Photo Studio will be eligible to be
produced in the yearbook. There is no
obligation to purchase portraits; however, there is a sitting / yearbook
production fee that is the responsibility of the student and is collected at
each session.
TRADITIONAL
POSES + ONE CASUAL POSE : $15.00 sitting /
yearbook production fee ($25 to shoot at school). You may wear your class ring if you want it
accented in a couple of poses. Please
advise your photographer of this. AGAIN THIS YEAR: Please bring one casual
shirt with you to your appointment. We will include one head and shoulder
casual pose to be included in the 2009 Yearbook.
Girls’ poses: A black drape and a
choice of (1) feathered boa (black, red, blue or pink)
Boys’ poses: A tuxedo jacket,
white shirt and bow tie with standard and casual poses.
(The drape, boa, tux jacket, shirt and tie will be
provided.)
RETAKES:
Retakes may be scheduled at the studio for $15.00 + tax.
DELUXE
CASUAL PERSONALITY POSES: $15.00 sitting
fee. You will wear your own clothing and
may change outfits, as the time of your session permits (no more than 2 or 3
different outfits). You may also bring
your own props, such as a band instrument, letterman’s jacket, sports balls,
pet, vehicle, etc. This may be done at
the same time as your traditional sitting or you may schedule at any time during
your senior year, through June 2009. We
offer either indoor, outdoor or a combination of both settings, if you
choose. Please advise when you call in
for your appointment if you choose to have your casuals taken during the same
visit, as we need to allow an additional 30 minutes for this appointment.
LOCATION
PHOTOGRAPHY: $120.00 sitting fee. You choose the
Bay County location (beach, park, your home, etc.). You may go in with your
friends or family, if you’d like. This session is good for up to one hour.
BLACK
& WHITE AND SEPIA: Any
of the images that we take are available in sepia and black and white as well
as the standard color. You may select the options online to view the images in
these forms, then specify which images to produce in these forms.
PORTRAIT
COSTS: Orders are placed in a variety of full
sheets and are $16.95 each + tax. Examples of sheets are: 1) 8 x 10 OR 2) 5 x 7’s OR 4) 3 x 5’s OR 1) 5
x 7 and 2) 3 x 5’s, etc. Each sheet is
of one pose / image number. There is a 3
sheet minimum order on your first purchase. If you place a second order at a
later date, then you will not be required to meet the minimum order again. We will also have package pricing available.
Please review the options and decide what best suits your needs.
RETOUCHING:
To keep portrait costs down for everyone, we offer our standard
retouching services as an additional fee to be added only if indicated. The cost is $34.95 + tax and will include
retouching on all images ordered at the same time. We do recommend it for students that are
prone to occasional or severe acne and other blemishes, even if it’s not very
visible when you view them online. Stray
hair strands may also be removed if requested.
WALLET
PERSONALIZATION: You may personalize your wallets with your
first name and year of graduation for $9.95 + tax per image. If you send in a
request for a full name, then we will only print the first name listed and the
year. Ex. “Mary Ann” would still be counted as one name.
PROOFING:
You will receive a 10% discount if you proof and pay for your order
within 3 days of your proofs being online. Images from your session will be
posted on Ro-Mo Photo's website at www.romophoto.com.

Secure
check out; complete online prompts
Note: If only choosing a yearbook pose, you will
need to select either “Mail in Payment” or “Yearbook Pose Only” as your method
of payment so that you do not have to enter credit card information. If this is not done, your yearbook pose selection
will not go through. In this instance
and for anyone that does not select a pose, a Ro-Mo Photo representative will
make your selection for you so that you will still be included in the yearbook.
Note: Please
have a one word password ready to give on the day of your portrait session.
If
you do not have internet access, you may contact Mrs. Hogue, yearbook adviser, to schedule an appointment at school or
contact Ro-Mo Portrait Studio at (850) 769-6277 to schedule to view your proofs
at the studio.
PAYMENT: You may order directly online by either entering your
credit card information or by indicating that you will mail in your
payment. If you select the latter
option, then you will want to either mail in payment in full or drop it off at
the studio in person at: Ro-Mo Photo
Studio, 748 W. 15th St., Panama City, FL 32401. If
order is placed within the 3 days of being online, then payment will need to be
received immediately to remain eligible for the discount. Ro-Mo Photo will hold
up on the processing of your order until it paid in full.
DELIVERY: The method of delivery for your portraits is either by
picking up in our studio, or for a nominal fee, you may have them shipped
directly to your home. (This is not recommended for orders with portraits 11 x
14 or larger, if at all possible.) Please indicate which option that you prefer
when completing your order. The approximate turn around time for the completion
of your portrait order is 2-3 weeks. If you have chosen to pick your order up
in the studio, then we will call to advise you when your order is ready. If you
need the order to be printed sooner than the normal turn around time, there
will be a minimum of a $25.00 rush fee.
Please keep this letter handy to refer to until you
have ordered and received your portraits.
REMEMBER: SITTING FEE IS $15.00
DURING THE SUMMER OR $25.00 AFTER SCHOOL BEGINS. RESERVE
YOUR
DATE EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH!!!
We look forward to serving you during the upcoming
school year.
