TESTIMONIALS
To Whom It May Concern:
We began working with Bak Photography & Yearbooks about five years ago when we needed expedited printing of our school’s spring supplement. Bak stepped in and promised a delivery date of three to four weeks but surprised us with delivery in two weeks. Even with rush processing of the order, we were charged no additional fees. Since then, Bak has been our yearbook provider. Their yearbook division has been able to provide our school with savings of over $10,000.00 annually.
The customer service has been outstanding. All of our questions have been answered promptly and efficiently. They even came to our school and conducted a free, interactive webinar to help teach our students how to use the publishing software. The program has been simple to learn, it's user friendly, and it offers all the design features needed to create a great yearbook.
This year they were again able to expedite processing of our yearbooks by extending our submission date by several weeks, again at no additional cost! This allowed us to include all of our spring activities as well as fundraiser ads without needing to create a separate supplement. This saved us extra printing fees while allowing us to gain additional revenue from the ads.
Overall, we are thrilled with the products and services we receive from Bak Photography & Yearbooks and would highly recommend them. We are very happy that we made the decision to extend our contact and we look forward to a very long relationship with Bak Photography & Yearbooks.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been using Bak Photography & Yearbooks as our school photographer for the past 10 years and as our yearbook provider for the past 7 years. I highly recommend them for both. They are easy to work with and are very responsive to questions, concerns, and any issues that arise with school portraits.
The yearbook process has been so much better since we switched from Jostens to Bak Photography & Yearbooks. They offer much more flexibility in the publishing process with no late fees. Turn around time is much quicker as well. Best of all, we are able to get full-color yearbooks for $16,000.00 LESS than we were paying Jostens for a black and white book with only a few color pages.
We have recently resigned with Bak for an additional 5 years for both photography and yearbooks. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Dear Mark,
It has been a pleasure working with you and your staff as our school photographer and yearbook provider for the past several years. I consistently receive comments from parents about the quality of their children’s school pictures. I appreciate that your photographers are well trained, well organized and that you take the time to get great photographs of the students. Your staff’s attention to detail when taking our student's photographs is impressive.
I have also been very impressed with your yearbook program. We have saved over 30% over our previous provider and the books are a much higher quality. I especially like the fact that there have been no surprise fees or deadline penalties.
Finally, I’d like to say thank you for your service. You’ve always gone that extra mile for us when we’ve asked. Your time and effort is appreciated by us, our students, and their families.
Sincerely,
Gerald Vazquez, Principal

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing a reference for Bak Photography & Yearbooks. They have been Daycroft Montessori’s school photographer for over 10 years. Besides photographing our staff and students, Bak also takes pictures at many of our key events such as our Fundraisers, Halloween party, and Science Fair. They have also donated photo sessions for our advertising & promotional materials. Over the years, Mark and his staff have offered and implemented several great ideas for additional fundraisers.
Bak is our yearbook provider as well. Their books are very good both in design and quality. They have always been delivered on time with no issues to deal with.
Mark and his staff are always friendly and interact very well with our children and staff. They have even taken up to 10-15 minutes with some of our preschoolers to get a great shot! They are flexible and work within any parameters that we need. They deliver on schedule and resolve any issues. Mark and his staff have often gone out of their way to deal with a few very ‘demanding’ parents.
We have been very pleased with the quality of Bak’s work, service, and quality and I highly recommend this company.
Sincerely,
Diane Mukkala
Head of School
To Whom It May Concern:
Bak Photography & Yearbooks has been a great resource for our school and yearbook program. With Bak, we receive personal service, both with the school portrait process and the yearbook process, high-quality results, and excellent prices. The previous company we worked with just shuffled the kids through, and you could tell in the photos. There is a huge jump in quality and service in our school photo’s since we’ve switched to Bak. Our yearbook is much higher quality, easier to produce, and costs less. Bak and staff are flexible with our yearbook needs and allow us to make changes as we go, based upon what we need, and they have never added any hidden fees. I highly recommend them.
