Your school should be more than an account number...

By partnering with Garner Studio, your school will experience the type of service that we feel our kids, parents, teachers and administrators deserve. We're a family-owned local studio that caters to small and mid-sized school districts in the North Texas, Southern Oklahoma region. But don't let our small size fool you. Simply put, we offer the service and flexibility that national chains lack, while furnishing the same high-tech products you need to create your yearbook.

We use only state of the art digital capture and studio lighting with ample back-up equipment. This means no down-time during a photo shoot and no wasted class time. As parents of school-age children ourselves, we fully appreciate the value of class time and we make every effort to avoid interruptions.

We work closely with your yearbook staff, administrators and coaches to ensure that our photo sessions are as non-disruptive and painless as possible while supplying the excellence in portrait and team sports photography that your yearbook demands. I am extremely proud of the working relationships we have with the students, teachers, coaches and administrators in our current contract schools. We do not employ sales representatives or part-time photographers.

100% of our portraits are printed in-house using state of the art equipment designed for quality and longevity. Orders are double-checked for accuracy, separately packaged and bundled by grade / sport. We strive to give parents the quality they expect from a professional portrait studio. In fact, during the 2008 fall portrait season, less than 1% of all photo purchases resulted in a "re-take." Parents are encouraged to call our studio (not your staff) in the rare event of an unsatisfactory purchase and all customer service issues are handled promptly to the satisfaction of the buyer.

We want your students to be as proud of their photos as we are. We understand the self-esteem issues that can arise from a bad photograph, so we spend the necessary time to ensure that students look their best. Additionally, in the case of the "forgotten order envelope" we do not charge extra fees for late orders. Parents may also order additional photos at any time, at the original price.

Lastly, Garner Studio strives to remove the burden of overseeing photo sessions from administrators and yearbook staff members allowing more time to focus on your yearbook. I've been told many times by yearbook coordinators that "picture day has never gone so smoothly."

If your school is looking for an alternative to your current photography company, we would be honored to meet with your staff to discuss your needs.

Sincerely,
