Q: "Where do you photograph the portraits?"
A: For all sessions available, we utilize our studio and surround grounds. For those who select The Ultimate session, you can choose your own location - either the LMP studio or somewhere else! See the "Our Studio" section of our website for more information.
Q: "What happens during the session?"
A: You will be guided through the process by our photographers and staff.
Most importantly, you will have fun! We try to keep things light and relaxed, so expect to joke around and have a blast!
Q: "How do you decide what portraits I end up seeing?"
A: First, when you select a session, we photograph however many poses we need to fulfill the session. For example: If you select The Custom, we plan to photograph 20 poses. We will typically take one or two of each pose to make sure that it is perfect.
Next, we will select the best portraits from the session to complete your proof set. This decision is bases on several factors, which include whether or not the image is in focus, the technical accuracy of the photograph, whether or not the pose was flattering, and your facial expression. We have high standards, and if a portrait does not meet those standards, that pose is not included.
Q: "Will I get to select my yearbook portrait?"
A: Yes, as long as you make your yearbook selection prior to the selection deadline for your school. After this date, LMP reserves the right to submit a selection on your behalf to make sure you are included in the yearbook.
