Graduation Photos - preregistration information
From Bob Knight Photo:
New for Spring 2008, we are encouraging all graduates and their parents to provide us with their email and mailing address information prior to the ceremony. This new service will help guarantee that the graduate’s proofs are sent within 20 hours of the event to the exact desired email address. This simple process helps ensure that seniors and their parents receive all necessary information about photos before and after the event. This service is encouraged for all schools, regardless of our current means of receiving your graduates address information.
Registering your graduate with Bob Knight Photo provides them with the information that they need to deliver your graduation proofs to you in a timely manner. Giving them an accurate mailing address and email address will allow them to get your proofs to you on the first try. You may also provide them with email addresses of up to six friends and family members to allow them to celebrate in the accomplishment.
