Academy at the Lakes - Class of 2026

Hello!!

Welcome to your senior year at Academy at the Lakes, Class of 2026! As you step into this defining chapter of your journey, we're excited to celebrate with you. At Cloud 9 Studios, we're not just about capturing your senior portraits; we're about capturing memories and the essence of who you've become.

As someone who has had the joy of photographing many of you since you were just starting your journey at Academy at the Lakes, your class is extremely special. We're committed to making your senior portrait experience memorable, personal, and stress-free.

To ensure you have the best experience possible, we encourage you to schedule your senior portraits during the summer. This helps avoid the rush and ensures you're captured at your best, without the stress of the busy school year. Remember, there's a yearbook deadline set by Ms. Upmeyer and the school, so let's make sure we meet it together. Deadline is September 30th!

For your senior portraits submission to the yearbook, you'll need to choose one Formal Portrait and one Personality Portrait from your session at our studio. Our team will take care of all the artwork and retouching, ensuring your portraits are yearbook-ready.

To book your session, simply call us at 813-994-4552 and ask for Jeanine or Betsy. We will guide you through the scheduling process and answer any questions you might have.

Capture Every Side of You: Formal and Personality Portraits Included

Each of our session offerings is designed to celebrate you fully, featuring both Formal and Personality Portraits. The variety in session types allows you to choose how extensively you want to explore your personality through the camera lens, and where you'd like these moments to be captured. Whether you opt for a quick showcase or an extensive array of personality expressions, every session is tailored to include a representation of both your formal side and your individual flair.

• Formal Portrait Attire: Students have the option to choose between wearing a Suit/Tie that you bring with you or being provided with a Black Drape for their Formal portrait. 
• Personality Portrait Outfit: For your Personality Portrait, we invite you to bring an outfit that truly represents who you are and showcases your unique interests, hobbies, or aspirations. This is your opportunity to express your individuality and what you want commemorated in the yearbook. Feel free to get creative—this is all about celebrating you!
