Senior Portrait Form

Senior portraits are provided free, courtesy of the BC Marketing & Communications' student multimedia team. Sessions are first-come, first-serve. While we provide more than enough sessions to accommodate every senior who wants one, appointments fill up quickly, so don’t wait to book or you may miss your opportunity.  Because sessions are limited, we cannot reschedule your senior portrait if you miss. You may only schedule one session per person. If you cannot make the appointment time you requested, please let us know you need to cancel so we can open that spot to another student. 

What to Expect:

You will also have the opportunity to participate in the senior graduation video by allowing our videographers to capture behind-the-scenes footage of your shoot and/or answering three prompts after your photo session. Only one of your answers will be selected and shown during the final video, which will be played during your commencement ceremony and posted on social media. An example of which can be found here and below.

Appointments for senior portraits are available from Monday, January 26 through Thursday, April 2, to allow our photographers and videographers time to process their galleries and to create the video before graduation. Unfortunately, we do not have the flexibility to extend these dates. This service is provided mainly by our student photography team and delivery times will vary amongst them based on working hours and assignment rate. Keep in mind that our photographers are also creating content for marketing pieces and covering events that take priority. If you are wanting your images for graduation invitations, we recommend booking before March 9. We will return your gallery as soon as possible, but it can take up to 6 weeks, depending on workload. Please do not email us asking for your photos before that 6-week mark. All galleries should be delivered no later than May 11. Please email us immediately if you don't receive your images by that date.

Any changes you request for your appointment will need to be made at least four days in advance for us to consider additional accommodations. Should we need to cancel your original appointment for any reason, including campus emergency such as inclement weather or other closure, we’ll notify you immediately and offer another appointment at our next available date. In-studio conduct should be that of a respectful, collegiate environment. Seniors exhibiting inappropriate or hostile behavior will be asked to leave and barred from return.  

We want this experience to be as fun as possible, and for you to have a professional headshot to use when you leave Berea, but also cap and gown photos to commemorate your achievements. You’re welcome to come with ideas, but our photographers will also guide you through some poses to help you look your best! We look forward to welcoming you to the studio and celebrating YOU!
