Dear Class of 2023 Seniors and Families,
Your time has come! It is time to get your senior photos taken! Woohoo! This year we are partnering with Cady: The Premier Photography Studio with a studio location in Cedar Park.
About Cady: When it comes to senior portraits, your photo should go beyond a smile and a boring backdrop. With over two decades of experience exclusively devoted to high school portraits, combined with a dream team of dedicated photographers, makeup artists, hair stylists, and image editors, we’ve got a lot of passion for what we do. We’re here to make high school portraits more fun, authentic, memorable, and stunning.
All seniors should sign up for their photography session as soon as possible. You will be able to choose in studio or at school for your session location. Note: All seniors should have their photo taken by Nov. 27, 2022, to ensure yearbook inclusion. The free "Yearbook Only" Session on Dec. 7 on campus is the last chance to be included, and if a student is unable to secure a spot for that session or is absent, there will be no more opportunities.

All seniors' portraits for the yearbook must be done through our school photographer, Cady. We will have five dates on campus for seniors to get their photos - August 9, October 18 & 19, and Nov. 16 & 17. Additionally, seniors can go to their studio in Cedar Park to get their photo taken before Nov. 27 to be guaranteed inclusion in the yearbook. The cost for those sessions with be $29 (which will apply toward purchase of a package) and those options will include drape or tux, cap and gown, and a casual portrait (at the studio can upgrade to more "scene" possibilities).
Why is there a cost? There's always been a cost for going in to the studio - what's new is a cost to be photographed on campus. The reason there's a cost is because students get an extra portrait during their session. We've always had the drape or tux and cap and gown, but now seniors will also get a casual portrait. Some seniors will separately hire private photographers, but we liked that this is an accessible way to get three professional portraits done for every senior. Additionally, the $29 simple session will be credited toward the cost of any package. For those who qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch, please reach out to Ms. Shirack about a voucher to cover the cost of the $29 session.
Are there any other options?
For those who only want the yearbook portrait, Cady will return for a yearbook portrait-only day on campus on Dec. 7, which will be free. That sign-up will be done through Sign Up Genius, not through Cady, and spots are not guaranteed. Only the drape, tux, or cap & gown photo will be used in the yearbook portrait section for all seniors. The free "Yearbook Only" Session on Dec. 7 on campus is the last chance to be included, and if a student is unable to secure a spot for that session or is absent, there will be no more opportunities to appear in the yearbook.
HOW TO SELECT THE SIMPLE SESSION
● You will need to create an account with Cady. Our school is listed as James Bowie High School (Austin).
● You will notice several options for the sitting, everything from an Elite experience ranging from $199-$399 (includes hair/make up and off site locations) all the way down to a Simple experience for $29 if you are just looking for something basic. Please scroll ALL the way down to view options. For sessions at Bowie, select the Yearbook scene plus either Timeless or Exposure as your second scene. For sessions at the studio, and to keep the Simple session for $29, select any one "Studio" scene along with the Yearbook scene.
● Sessions do NOT include printed photos but there are several package options available for purchase. See below for a session comparison guide that lists the difference between each session type. NOTE: The simple session for $29 does include a coupon for $29 to be applied to purchase of a package.
● Your proofs will come in a beautiful leather portfolio. See below for instructions if you decide to return the portfolio.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Cady directly here.
