<p>We did almost the same thing as soozievt with my D’s senior pictures. Everyone was required to go to the same photographer at our school for their senior pictures, but we only had to pay $25 if we didn’t want to order any additional pictures. This picture was only used in the yearbook. We then paid for D to have headshots done by a very good headshot photograher here in town and she also used these on her graduation announcements and to give to family.</p>
<p>I am going to a photographer outside of school since I can’t afford the ones at my school…if it weren’t for the necessity of getting a “headshot”, I wouldn’t be getting any pictures anyway. But fortunately this photographer in my town has done realtor headshots and things of that nature, and she is very reasonably priced, so I should be able to get some pictures that will serve several purposes 
Thanks for the advice!</p>
