Senior Portrait Ordering Information

There are two ways to order portraits:

1. Order Online from this web site by clicking the "Online Ordering" tab at the top of this page. You will be able to preview and select the images you wish to order. Add each pose you like to your " My Favorites" by clicking the pink icon under each image. By adding the image to "My Favorites" you will be selecting the poses available to order each type of portrait size. Follow the instructions through check out, you will be prompted to pay by credit card or print your order and send with a check. The order forms are completely secure and encrypted to protect your information. We will NEVER sell your information to any third party.

2. Order Manually. If you would like to order OFF line, follow the instructions below.
 

If you want to order manually, through the hard copy forms we provided you, here are the tools you will need

          Your preview sheets from your senior portrait sitting

          A senior portrait price list

          Ballpoint or permanent marker pen

          Senior portrait order form 

1       Choose which pose(s) you like the best.  Use a process of elimination

2       Double check your yearbook pose selection.  Your yearbook photo MUST be chosen from the  pose (deep blue background with Tuxedo, Drape or formal attire).  Place the sticker under this pose on your proof image sheet.

3       By reviewing the senior portrait price list select the quantity of photos you need.  Make sure you choose from the package selectionsthey have been designed to save you money!

4       Write down with ink pen directly on a sticker the quantity of portraits you wish from that pose.  Then attach the sticker in a manor that it touches but does not cover the image. Repeat for each additional pose.  Example 

Yearbook

1  8x10

4  5x7

27  Wallets

A        Your package does not need to be split evenly among the poses you have selected (if your package is available from more than one pose).

B        You may make substitutions in other words, trade a photo size for another size set.  Think of a sheet of paper being cut into even parts.  A unit is a full sheet of paper and can equal 1- 8x10, 2- 5x7,  4- 3x5, 8 wallets.  If your package calls for 2  8x10 and 8 Wallets, you could exchange one of the 8x10s included for 2 5x7 portraits or 2- 5x7's for 4 3x5's.  The only exception to this rule... you cannot "exchange" (substitute) wallet (2x3 size x 8) units for enlargements.  This process allows you to customize your package without creating extra charges.

C       Be sure to note how many proofs (poses) your package allows.  However, you may add poses to any package for an additional $11.00 per pose (this pays for negative retouching). 

5    After you have written exact quantities of the portraits you wish on the back of each pose, you  are now ready to fill in the actual order form to calculate your final cost.

6   Fill in all senior information about yourself at the top of the two-part NCR form.

7   Mark the package or packages you wish to order.  Decide if you want Deluxe portraits or Economy.  Once you have decided on a finish, the entire order must be produced that way.  You cannot mix and match . There is a full description of each inside the price list.   

8.   Fill the order form out completely, enclose your check or use the charge slip provided and insert the proofs with the portrait quantities and yearbook selection indicated into the studio-addressed envelope provided.  Mail directly to Blanton Studios, 15720 Crabbs Branch Way Unit 1A, Rockville, MD  20855.

9.  If you have additional questions, or need special assistance, please feel free to call our studio between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.  We will be glad to assist you. You can also schedule an appointment for a professional portrait consultation.
