A photography program built for advisors.
We handle the schedule, the data, the retouching, and the deadline pressure — so you can focus on the yearbook, the season, and the students.
Your OFFICIAL School Photographers.
Timeless Portraits. Professional Support. Real Follow-Through.
Built around your calendar
Flexible scheduling planned around what works best for the school. Scheduling can be done by us or done by you.
Yearbook-ready data flow
PSPA-compliant index files, and proof sets delivered in the native format your publisher expects.
One studio, one team
Your photographer is on-staff at Continental. Easily accessible and experienced local New York studio with direct contacts. We are specialists in school photography.
The retake that actually happens
Retake day can be built into your program. We can come back to photograph absentees.
In-house lab
Digital processing, retouching, and printing all happen at our Forest Hills lab. Nothing leaves the building; nothing waits in a vendor queue.
Custom school reports
Reports of students who have been photographed and who have not are available upon request.
August to June, planned in writing.
A typical high school or college photography program runs the full academic year. Photo day dates and final delivery dates are confirmed at the August consultation and never move without your sign-off. Book Early!
