Senior Portrait Sittings at Rowland if Interested
Rowland Studios has been in partnership with Ballard High School for many years and runs specials for Ballard HS seniors. Ballard HS Seniors are allowed to submit a photo to the yearbook of their choice as an alternate to the school pictures on blue that the rest of the school uses.
The sittings offered at Rowland are meant to be an affordable option for Ballard HS seniors who want to have more options for their yearbook photo. It is a 15-minute sitting in the studio for headshots on one or two backgrounds for $30.00. Afterward, they will let you choose one for the yearbook, and they will send it in for you
Reminder: Senior families don’t have to submit a separate photo from the school photo and they also can use any other options if they would like to submit a Senior Portrait for the yearbook as well.
Separately, they also have more options for longer Senior Sittings, available to book as well.
