Our Verdict

Prestige Portraits produces genuinely good senior portraits — the quality is a step above standard school photography. But the pricing is aggressive, the upsell process is relentless, and the package structure is deliberately confusing. Parents of seniors should budget significantly more than the advertised entry price. The digital platform is modern and functional. Worth it if senior portrait quality matters to your family; frustrating if you're trying to keep costs reasonable.
