Additionally, at the request of the Band Boosters Board, we are now offering package deals to the parents. They each offer a substantial savings over the cost of individual photos. They have been designed with the students family in mind to include photos for parents, grand parents, and friends.

At this time of year with Christmas so close, it could take 3 to 4 weeks for the photos to be delivered.

NOTES

-------

Photos in the band packages will only have basic editing, for full image editing to include complexion, stray hair, and scar removal you need to add "Full image Edit (Complexion, stray hair, scar removal)" to your order as an additional item.
