- What about my formal yearbook pic? My school said I have to use the studio they suggested.
-
Harper Grace + Co. Studios is a full-service photography company. I am fully equipped with everything needed for shooting Senior Formal Yearbook images. I can, and do, prepare and submit yearbook image files to the specifications required by the school. While your school can recommend/suggest that you use their "preferred" studio or that you have them shoot your formal yearbook image, they can not require you to do so. Please know that you may have your formal image taken by Harper Grace + Co., by the school's “suggested” studio, or by any photographer you choose as long as the file is properly prepared and submitted.
With that said, in my willingness to compromise, Spokesmodels will be permitted to use the school’s “suggested” studio for formal yearbook images if they so choose.
