Maybe ask to see the student's "portfolio" or just ask the teacher for their recommendations on the right student for the job. They might even let you pay the student directly for their work.
if you really want professional style ones done, try seeking out a Target with a portrait studio. Their prices are very reasonable, and you don't have to buy a huge pkg of just one picture. they have great coupons to use too.
or, you could ask your neighbors or friends if they were wanting to do the same thing (get family portraits).. you can take their picture, they can take yours. iron a big white sheet (or multiple ones if it's too see-through) and tack it onto your wall for a clean, crisp background. Try other colors -- red, black, etc. make sure to have a lot of batteries or your digital camera charged up really well and take a LOT of shots. i bet you'll get a ton of great pictures and you'll probably have a blast doing it!
