SCHOOL PORTRAIT INFO:

READY, SET, SMILE!

Michelle will be taking student and staff portraits outside of GWCS! Each staff member and underclassmen will receive roughly 2-4 minute time slots along with two poses and two black & white digital images, along with a student ID. Each senior will receive roughly 5-10 minute time slots along with four poses and four black & white digital images, along with a student ID.

  • COST: Underclassmen fee - $45.00 (2 poses)
    Seniors - $75.00 (4 poses)

  • BRING on 11/9/23:

  • INCLUDED: Anyone that signs up will receive handcrafted images that can be downloaded through an online gallery at no additional cost. Images may be posted online and printed as desired. All students will receive one professionally printed student ID card.

  • EXTRAS: The option to purchase additional images may be available if the opportunity presents itself. Touch-ups and photos in color also available for purchase.

  • SENIOR PROPS: Seniors, this is your time to shine! You're welcome to bring a prop that represents you or bring something that you like - an instrument, a basketball/soccer ball/baseball bat, your dog, your favorite book, etc. Please no more than two outfits though, in the interest of time!

  • PHOTO TIPS:

    • Neutral colored tops photograph very well, as well as outfits that don't wrinkle easily. Avoid neon colors, patterns and tops with letters or characters on them.

Make sure your hair is brushed and bring your best smile! This will be a fun, quick and painless process!
