These are real Tuxedos, not cheap imitations that most yearbook photographers use. We do not provide tuxedo pants,since your yearbook shot will be from the waist up, you can pose in your street pants or favorite dockers or golf shorts. Sizes available for coats are 36-48R, longs available for 40-46. The wing collar formal shirts range in size from 14.5 to 17.5 neck with 32-34 inch length. There is no additional charge for use of our tuxedos.<font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br /> </span></font></p> <p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Question: Why don't I get any prints with the sitting fee that I pay?</span></font></p> <p>Answer: As you can see from our About us tab, we are experienced professionals and a professional's time and talent is valuable. As you will see, we work very hard throughout the session to get the most out of you and what you bring to the session. The sitting fee covers our expenses, our time and creativity; as well as all of the digital post processing and retouching that we do on your final portraits. Your final prints and products selection will be priced ala carte<font size="2"> and paid for separately and in addition to your sitting fee.</font></p> Question: Do you offer bonus level incentives?<br /> <br /> Answer: Yes.

Most Seniors choose to work with us at the end of the summer when they have achieved a healthy glow and want to show it off. There is no perfect time to do your Senior portraits and most area High Schools allow outside portraits to be taken and added to the yearbook provided they meet the yearbook deadline.</span></font></p> <p>Question: Where do you get your ideas from?</p> <p>Answer: We work cooperatively with you to build a portfolio of images and color schemes based largely upon your mood, outfits, background, skills and talents that you bring to the Ultimate Senior Session. Come prepared to have a great time, bring lots of outfits and a positively charged attitude. Bring your Ipod with your favorite tunes,after all this is your session and we want you to feel comfortable and energized to look your very best.</p> <p>Question: Do I have to belong to a team sport or organization in school to be photographed?</p> <p>Answer: Absolutely not, we are here to capture you, your Senior year and your interests. We will work with you in our consultation to determine the mood and overall feel that you would like to convey in your Portraits. Only you can define who you are and it's our job to capture that feeling for you.<font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><u2:p></u2:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <font size="2"><u1:p></u1:p></font> <p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Question: Can I use any of the images taken during my session on "My Space" or "Facebook"<u1:p></u1:p><u2:p></u2:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p> <p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Answer: No, your images are copyrighted and the reproduction rights belong to Barron Portraits LLC and may not be copied or reproduced at anytime without the express written permission of Barron Portraits LLC.</span></font></p> <p><font size="2">Question: Will Barron Portraits LLC sell me an internet ready file to use on "My Space" or "Facebook"?</font></p> <p><font size="2">Answer: Yes, as a new service offering we now offer Internet ready resolution images to be used on the Internet chat boards.
