Memo to: Senior Class of 2008
From: Priscilla Cox, WHS Yearbook
Adviser
Cynthia Wiggins, Ro-Mo
Photo Studio Representative (850) 769-6277
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.
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, then you won’t want to miss out on
the final session date that will be available at the school on
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. You may wear
your class ring if you want it accented in a couple of poses. Please advise your photographer of this.
Please bring one casual shirt with you to your appointment. We will include one
head and shoulder casual pose to be included in the 2008 edition of the
yearbook. (The drape, boa, tux jacket, shirt and tie will be provided.)
Girls’ poses:
A black drape and a choice of (1) feathered boa (black, red, blue or
pink) or white fur. You may choose either the black drape or red or white boa
for your yearbook pose.
Boys’ poses:
A tuxedo jacket, white shirt and bow tie with standard and casual
poses.
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 2008. 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
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 $20.35 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 $41.95 + 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 $11.95 + 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.

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
Ms. Cox, 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, Attn: Cynthia Wiggins, 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.
We look forward to serving you during the upcoming
school year.
