Believe me, if I could leave a -5, I would. I had my grad photos around a month ago and the experience stuck with me as a terrible one. I was behind schedule despite coming in early, I was forced to pose with a prop I wanted for only about 3 photos, the photos were all rushed, the photographers didn't quite understand that joints don't bend the way they want them to (it was quite the workout to pose) and they didn't get any good angles. You could hire a private photographer for $20/hr and get a whole truckload more of better, higher quality, more personalized photos that they'll edit and send FOR FREE, ON TIME. Artona also seriously dropped the ball on their Go Cards. They're made of the flimsiest material and it would be an insult to cards to call them cards, they're more like sheets of plastic that warp, bleed and are just general doggie doodoo. Artona, what happened? Why do you charge so much for late, rushed photos? Why do schools still order from you guys?

TL;DR: Just hire a private photographer and go to Artona for the grad photos
