 A Word About Yearbook Photos:

It is recommended to have your photos taken at the school, as images taken at the Studio may not be included in the yearbook or on the composite (if offered).

 About Your Proofs:

Your proofs will arrive within 2-3 weeks via Canada Post, and you’ll also receive an email with a link to view them online.

Proofs are unretouched, but your finished portraits will include basic retouching (blemish removal, softening lines) at no extra charge. Premium retouching is available for an additional fee.

 Preparing for Your Session:

Hair and Makeup: Please be ready with hair and makeup done before your session starts.

Props: If bringing a prop, ensure it’s ready for your photo session. (Lifetouch is not responsible for any lost or damaged props)
