Senior Photos Opportunity for Windham Class of 2027 Seniors
Photographer Elena Sweet from Ever Sweet Photography is offering Pay-What-You-Can Senior Photo Sessions again this year (true pay what you can with no minimum) just for Windham seniors. This is your year, and we want every single one of you to have photos to celebrate it regardless of financial circumstances. Elena has done these for the past three years and is going to offer them again this year. This isn’t about money, it’s about making sure you feel seen, celebrated, and proud of how far you’ve come.
Whether you can give a little, a lot, or nothing at all, you’ll still get a session that’s all about you. Please contact Elena directly at 330-206-8829.
Graduation is such a special moment — you (your child) deserve to have it remembered. Elena will do senior sessions in other districts as well, but charges $80 to $100 (dependent on location) for senior sessions. This specific deal she does just for her hometown kids.
