7. FAQ’s (cont’d) • Help! I need to cancel or re-schedule my appointment! What do I do? • Contact Jennifer Abernethy. You can do either through her.

8. FAQ’s (cont’d) • I know there are opportunities at AHS, but what are my other options? • Lifetouch owns Foschi Studios in Wilmington, DE. Call 1-800-445-1189 to make an appointment there. (Make sure your appointment is before October 15, 2012 to ensure inclusion in the yearbook.) • Which picture goes in the yearbook? • A formal photograph from your session (drapes for ladies, tuxedoes for gentlemen) will be your senior yearbook photo.
