“In the past, portraits seemed like a chore. But this time it was actually fun! And I love my portraits. They look like me - not too posed at all. That’s probably because Gregory let me decide how I felt comfortable rather than choosing the poses for me. Compared to other studios, the pricing was very reasonable."

Advice for next year’s seniors:
"Slack off the smart way: finish everything right away, then relax while your friends pull all-nighters."

“I chose Accent because my friend Jessie Frenz had hers done there and they turned out well. Plus, I didn’t want to go to Linda’s where they all look the same. I was very happy both with my finished portraits and with the time Gregory took with me during my session. It was a relaxed and fun environment. I thought the price was adequate to the product and competitive to other studios."

I got the “typical” senior pictures I was looking for without having them look the same as anyone else’s. The session price was extremely competitive. The portraits were a little more expensive, but obviously of good quality, and the flexibility of packages allowed me t
