Please see the “Senior Portraits FAQ” below for additional information.
Senior Portraits FAQ
Who do I contact to schedule a senior portrait session?
Visit cady.com or call their customer service number at (678) 722-3449. You can also visit the Cady Help Center for more information.
Who do I contact with questions about yearbooks, senior dedications or senior portraits?
Yearbook adviser Cliff Hamilton, chamilton02@ems-isd.net
What days will you take pictures at Boswell?
We will offer on-campus sessions on August 28, October 9, and December 11, 2024. You must sign up for an appointment to attend one of these sessions.
Can’t I just have the picture made on school picture day like always?
No. The photographs taken during the fall picture day are for underclassmen only.
I just want to get the yearbook photo done. Why do I also have to sit for a cap & gown photo?
Seniors pose for both a cap/gown and tux/drape photo. At this time, we do not know which option the yearbook editors will use for the book. As it is a student created publication, the editors make that decision once they have chosen the theme. That is why the session includes both shots.
Why do I have to pay for a sitting fee just to be in the yearbook?
You don't. Cady offers Boswell students a "yearbook only" session that has no sitting fee.
What if I miss the on-campus days?
You must have your portrait taken by January 27, 2025, at the studio.
