Considerig not having my photo done my senior year


Question Posted Thursday July 21 2011, 10:36 pm

So I'm thinking about not even being in the yearbook this year.

This upcoming year will be my senior year and I'm supposed to get my senior portrait done in the next 8 days or else it won't be in the yearbook.

The problem is my school only allows photos to be done by a company that is insanely expensive considering that they aren't very good at what they do.

The last 3 years the same company has done my schools photos and when you look in the yearbook 90% of the photos look like crap. There's at least 50 photos in our yearbook where people have their eyes closed. How pathetic right?

I called the company earlier and their cheapest offer was $80 for one photo!

I never bought any of the previous photos either because they never took a good one. I always had some sort of stupid expression on my face or I wasn't even smiling. They even took one with my eyes half closed.


They never let you see the photos they take and they usually use the very first one.

So i'm considering not even having my photo in the yearbook this year.

If I could get my photo done by real professionals I would be all for it but my school said either the company they picked out or no photo at all.

Plus i'm saving up money for when I move out so I really don't feel like spending $80 on a crap photo.

What do you think I should do?

While I agree with the poster below me, it IS your senior year. I think it's half worth it, half not.

If I were you, I'd get it taken. Personally, 20 years from now I would regret not having it in the yearbook if I didn't.
So you have to think about that, would you regret it?

It is truly up to you. In my opinion, I think those prices are ridiculous, and no one should have to pay that much for one photo. Sure, it is nice to have your photo in the yearbook, especially since it's your senior year, but is it really worth it?
