Kim received the proofs to Bryce's senior pictures in the mail today. There was supposed to be four poses, there were two, both with tux and no casual shots.  The very smallest pack to order is $200.00.They sent an order form with a lot of info to check. Here are some of what they do..Remove braces, whiten teeth and remove stray hairs  and they lost me right there.
So I guess what you see is no longer what you get when viewing someones picture. The only way I would be interested in fiddling with a photo is if they could remove about 50 pound of me that I don't need!
I know they have alway touched up photos to some extent, like acne removal and such.
I remember paying around $30.00 for all the pictures I could possibly want when I was a senior.  Also, my senior ring cost $35.00 and I had to make payments on it.  Bryce's ring cost $500.00.
I guess that is the difference between 1947 and 2008.
Hugs
Butchie

It is amazing what things cost these days. I couldn't believe what we paid for our pics we had taken this summer.  I remember having to pay for half of my senior pics and all of my ring, I really don't think I paid that much for my ring.  I didn't go fancy with it, also when I had my pics taken we didn't have any other poses to choose from, that started a few years after I graduated. 
The photographers wanted us to go for all that fancy stuff with the pics we got of us and the girls, they would have removed wrinkles etc. We went with the basic. they aren't that bad.

Butchie, that is so sad, you would thing it would be cheaper to buy the pics, the ring another matter, our boys didn't buy a ring ,the school doesn't have one.

Butchie, I think I would take him to another photographer and tell the photog that they wanted casual shots as well as formal.  Bryce just isn't the formal sort of guy to my way of thinking.  Pictures are outrageous but they know the parents will pay because it is a lasting memory.

hahahaha, Iam sorry but your version of that story was just too funny! Yes, I guess it has gone up! I think it must be one handsome picture though, Bryce , in a tux.....wouldn't it be worth the money just to see him dressed up, and hairless??
