PICTURES
A professional photographer will come to the studio in the spring to photograph all the students. The photos will be available for purchase. This is a service offered but it is not required for you to purchase any photos. All group photos will appear in our annual yearbook. Students appearing in group photos must be in their costume/uniform. Parents are asked to remain outside the picture room during the photo session, as it is very disruptive to the students being photographed.
SNOW DAYS
In case of severe weather conditions; the studio will close for the safety of our students and instructors. Please call before coming to the studio under these circumstances. Make up classes are scheduled on an individual basis.
