Tips:
  1. If possible, get all of the pictures taken at one time to avoid several trips to the photographer. Places like Walmart and Zellars usually have a photo studio in them that should be able to do all photos needed. Some places however can't or wont print 5 identical photos because they like to use Polaroid type cameras that only produce 2 identical photos.
