Attention Class of 2025:

Utica High School has partnered with Kaiser Studio Portraits to photograph the Class of 2025’s yearbook and graduate composite photo.

Kaiser Studio will visit UHS in November 2024 to take all of the senior headshot images for the yearbook, along with a cap & gown picture. You will be notified of the date and time once a date has been approved by the school.

If you would like additional photos taken of your senior, Kaiser Studio also offers appointments in their indoor studio in Troy, as well as outdoor sessions. Attached is a brochure outlining pricing. If you book an indoor session, senior headshots will be taken during that appointment, so there is no need to go to the camera at your school in November.

Please contact Kaiser Studio's Troy-based customer service at 248-619-9119 with any questions or to schedule a studio appointment.
