BUDGET PHOTO SECRETS
Do-it-yourself high school senior portraits
By Allie McComas

Recently I was having lunch with a friend whose son is going to be a high school senior this year. We were having a lovely discussion when she said something that made my jaw drop! Now, my jaw only does that on a few occasions. Most of those occasions have to do with price.
Whether it's a "too good to be true" cost of an item or a "you have got to be kidding me" price of an item, my jaw drops the same way: straight down. What did she tell me that was so shocking? The cost of senior pictures!

My friend told me that she was going to spend $500, yes, $500 on her son's senior portraits! I began adding up her costs for these over the years since this is her third child (out of 4). She spent "a little more" on her two daughters' senior portraits.

Okay, am I the only one who thinks the cost of these pictures is ridiculous?

The funny thing is that she said that he doesn't even want to get his picture taken!
She's "making" him do it.
