Our affordable PWYC (PAY WHAT YOU CAN) Senior Portrait Program was designed to keep E-SPLOST funding in Paulding County for our kids at their schools. For every $1 spent on local Paulding retail, 1¢ funds the E-SPLOST. The E-SPLOST program has helped construct 21 new schools & 16 school additions in Paulding County, along with funding dozens of renovations & classroom additions, & hundreds of critical maintenance projects. E-SPLOST can be used for capital improvements in our school district and by not doing business with Paulding enterprises, county residents tax dollars are not going towards our best interests.
Example: If 200 parents spend $500 at a specific cobb county studio, that’s $1,000 that would have gone to our E-SPLOST had they purchased with any of the 50+ business licensed Paulding County photographers.
This is why it is so important that we shop local in the county when possible.
The PWYC program is not intended to be free, Own It Sports is a business, and most families are spending $300-$500 on a small payment plan to help with the rest of the senior year expenses. Payment plans may include various sessions, time, editing, scenes, all the digital files, and other products or services. This is just an average estimate; it’s not a set amount, and that’s why it’s PWYC.
To participate in the program, I ask only that:
1. You attend a Paulding County School and
2. Please don’t come to me as an option and then spend hundreds of dollars in Cobb County with another photography studio. The quality of my work and the care and honesty I put into my clients and my service speaks for itself, right here on my website – if you are getting ready to fill out this form, it’s because you already trust me and like my work.
So, hit me up if you’re a PAULDING COUNTY SENIOR GRADUATING in 2026. You can choose from a number of different options, and we’ll get your cap & gown done as well. I will deliver ALL the digital files that I keep, I will not guarantee a number of files, but it will be worth our time and any contribution you can make. I can guarantee your taxes are going back to Paulding schools and not to Cobb or otherwise. You can also get a super nice album for only $100.
Please fill out the form below so that I can get an idea of what you are wanting, and I will reach out to you within a few days to actually get you scheduled.
The Not-So Fine Print:
1. These sessions are not intended to be free. They are intended to keep business in Paulding County. Please do not come to me for senior pictures then spend hundreds of dollars with another photography studio outside of Paulding County. There are over 50 registered and licensed photographers in the county. Any one of them, including me, are more than happy to take senior pictures of any senior! I can offer a number of different payment plan options should you need that assistance.
2. You will still have to go to your school’s photographer for their yearbook pictures, and that WILL require a session fee to that studio, but you DO NOT have to purchase any products from that session if you don’t want too.
3. Your PARENT must book this session, even if you are 18.
4. Please note, you may reschedule ONE time with a courteous notice of time. Any no-show will be excluded from this service permanently with NO option to reschedule. My time is valuable and offering these sessions will fill what free time I have.
5. The final product will be digital files (and any add’ons) and a print release. You are allowed to print the images into a tangible product with any lab or into big heads with Social Media Cutouts (Mr. Richard Nunez). Permissions to resell, edit, jersey swaps, edit into a banner or other product that Own It Sports currently sells, with a different company will not be permitted. This includes paying a third party to make commitment graphics for social media. It is prohibited to pay (or give) another company or person to change/edit any image that Own It Sports creates.
6. When your images are ready for download, I’ll send you an email to let you know and will include OIS Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, or Paypal. You’ll pay what you can, and once I see a payment come thru, I’ll send your download link.
