April Eve Images is partnering with the Williston Northampton School this year to provide senior portraits for the Class of 2014. The following is information about the sessions:
In 20 minute, mini-sessions beginning in the Grubbs Gallery (Reed Center) on Thursday, Oct. 24, Friday, Oct. 25, Sunday, Oct. 27, and Monday, Oct. 28, each interested senior will be photographed on campus in different poses and locations. Seniors will then have several photograph options from which to choose. There is no obligation to purchase prints, and nominal sitting fee includes the image provided to Williston’s yearbook, The Log.
To book your 20 minute mini-session with April, first visit aprileve.com. Click on the “Contact” link at the top of the page and send us a message including: student’s name, student’s email, parent’s name, parent’s email, mailing address, and phone number.
Once they receive your information, they will reply with a link where you can browse available dates and times, and request one that works for your student. The $35 session fee may be paid online once an appointment time has been requested and accepted, or via check (made out to April Eve Images) or in cash at the actual session.
Please note that students will not be excused from regular commitments for their senior photo session. Students should plan to arrive 10 minutes before their appointment time. A week after your student’s session, parents and students will be able to view the images in their own private web gallery. From there, you will select an image to be printed in the formal section of the yearbook and also have the opportunity to order prints. Feel free to email info@aprileve.com with any questions!
