Senior Appointment Questions
Q. I forgot when my appointment is, can you tell me when it is?
A. Please check your email for your appointment confirmation. If you can not find it, please send an email to [email protected] with your name and school so we can look it up for you.
Q. I made my appointment and it was made under the wrong name, can I change it?
A. As long as the appointment slot is for you and you show up at your specified time, there is no issue under which name it was made for.
Q. Why aren't there any appointments left to take my senior portrait?
A. This happens because a lot of people don't schedule their appointments for the first few days and those slots don't get filled. Also, people often miss their appointments and pick another time slot, which limits our appointments available since they are taking up 2 slots.
Q. What happens if there are no appointments available?
A. If there are no appointments available, you are able to come to our studio to take your senior portrait or reach out to [email protected] to see when/if we will be coming back to your school.
