Graduation Photos- Leer Photography
Attached is a description of the different portraits we will be taking to celebrate your graduation.
- Group portrait: June 4, 2021, at 9:00 AM in the football stadium, visitors bleachers. We will be taking all precautions to keep our seniors safe. After we have all the students lined up on the bleachers, the seniors will be given the opportunity to remove their masks for approximately 2-3 minutes to take the group portrait. If you wish to wear your masks during this portrait, that will be your choice for your safety.
- Formal cap and gown individual portraits: June 4th from 7:30-9:00 AM. These portraits will be taken in the library conference room on a first-come basis. We have a limited time to offer these portraits, so I would recommend arriving early. These portraits are professional formal portraits and a keepsake for life. We will have the sashes etc. available for the students to wear in their portraits. We highly recommend these portraits to capture the memories!!
- Candid photos of each student receiving their diploma and various other candids throughout graduation. These pictures will be uploaded to a gallery on our website, www.LeerPhotography.com. The posed candid images with the diploma will be sold as 5x7 at the cost of $10.00 each. All other portraits will be sold at our regular action prices. To order these portraits, you would email Cindie@LeerPhotography.com with your image choices following graduation.
Thanks,
Cindie
