It’s Senior Portrait Time
June is almost here and another school year is coming to a close. This means many different things for students, but if you are an upcoming high school senior, it is time for senior pictures.
Senior por
traits are something that most high school students look forward to and start planning for as early as their freshman year. They wonder which photographer they will go to, what they will wear, and what poses will they like. It is an exciting time that kicks off their entire senior year.
A few years ago, a Mom came in to the studio to pick up her daughter’s senior pictures an
d
she made a comment that has co ntinued to stay with Dennis Craft. She said, “Every girl deserves to feel like a princess for at least one day in her lifetime. You have given my daughter that.” It is the goal at Craft to take that attitude with every senior they photograph.
For most students it is just a matter of choosing a studio and making an appointment.
Craft Photographic Gallery is aware that some students don’t have the opportunity to make that choice.
There are a variety of reasons that can keep seniors from being able to have th
e portraits they are
dreaming of. Many families are experiencing financial setbacks, and Dennis and Lori Craft would like
to remove this obstacle for three seniors from the Class of 2009. “We feel it is important for every
student to have the opportunity to not only have the experience of feeling like a model for a day, but to
be able to select a portrait package to share with their family and friends,” says Lori Craft.
Craft Photographic Gallery is offering a Senior Portrait Scholarship Program for three upcoming high
school seniors. The students chosen will receive a Deluxe Portrait Session and a Senior Portrait Package
which includes an 11x14 wall portrait with gift portraits and wallets, each valued at $650.00.
You must submit an essay (250 words or less) stating why you or the person you are nominating deserves to receive one of the scholarships. Awards will be based on either financial need or personal circumstances.
You can send the essay and application to the studio or you can download an application at
www.craftphotography.com under the senior section. Applications are also available at the studio.
Applications must be submitted by June 30th, 2008. The scholarship awards will be announced by Monday, July 7th, 2008.
