It All Begins
You’ll contact me through the contact page to book a portrait session. I’ll send back all the information you need to schedule your portrait session.
If we are a good fit, we will get your session on the books. Once scheduled, we will discuss locations, outfits, and hair/makeup.

This Is Your Time To Shine!
The Planning Process:
Can you believe your senior year is here and it’s time to get going on planning your senior session? This time in your life will fly by and it’s important to start the planning process for your session right away. Once you have done the first step of reaching out to book your day I will have you fill out a questionnaire to get to know you better. You will share a little about who you are, what kind of session you would like, and what locations you are after! From there we will chat via email, text, or phone call about location ideas that fit your ideal spot for your session. Please feel free to send outfit ideas and I will help you decide what’s best! I have many years of experience and can tell you all the insider info.
Your Session Day Is Here:
On your session day you are probably going to feel many different emotions. Don't worry if you're a bit nervous... honestly everyone gets nervous before their big shoot. That's a normal feeling when you want something so important to turn out. Rest assured that you are prepared and we are completely ready to have the best senior session ever! We will have our locations per-determined and outfits planned. Your hair and makeup will be done, you will be gorgeous and camera ready! We laugh, giggle, pose, twirl (for the ladies) and most of all, we have the absolute best time together capturing you at your finest!
The Big Revel:
Wahoo, it's reveal day! Within 1 to 2 weeks after your portrait session, you’ll receive an email with an attached online portrait gallery of soft edited (meaning some work will need to be completed on the ordered portraits like hair flyway’s etc.) portraits from your portrait session and it will now be time to pick your portrait collection! Once you’ve decided on and purchased your collection of choice that best fits your need, your gorgeous product will be ordered (can take up to 5 weeks for delivery to your home), and your fully edited portraits will be ready for download in 5 business days.
Ladies,
Ask yourself- “What makes me feel beautiful?” It could be that new dress you just got from your favorite little boutique, or a new shade of lipstick you just picked up from your favorite cosmetic counter. We want to play on the things that you love to create a session designed around what makes you feel beautiful, and lets face it what you wear and how you feel can make or break a portrait. We want to avoid the obvious and less obvious things like unflattering articles of clothing, hairstyles that won't last through the photoshoot or makeup that won't look good with multiple outfit changes and colors. You deserve portraits that represent YOU!
Gents,
Ask yourself- “What makes you feel your absolute best?” It could be that new ball cap representing your favorite team or that new jacket you just picked up. We want to incorporate the things you love to create a session designed around what makes you feel your best. We want to avoid the obvious and less obvious things like unflattering articles of clothing and hairstyles that won’t last through the photoshoot. If sports are your passion please don’t be afraid to add that to your session. Maybe you love cars or you love your motorcycle. Let’s add it!
“RAID YOUR CLOSET”
Are you having trouble picking out something that you think would photograph well? No problem, we're happy to do a Zoom Video Call and raid your closet to see what pieces you have already that we can incorporate with anything you may need to buy. All you have to do is ask! Who knows, you may have it all and you just don't know it. That's what we're here for. We want to help you and make this process easy and so much fun.
Let me answer some
questions for you!
-
As many as you would like. I do have suggestions for each session type but you are not limited to that.
-
Some ideas- You could wear school attire from your current school or your future college, a dress (short and long), and shorts or jeans (or both). Think fun patterns, colored shoes, and unique cuts/styles of clothing to make your portraits stand out. If you are more laid back with your style, simplicity is never wrong. Represent who you are!
-
Sports or hobby stuff, cars, a pictures of a deceased close family member ( I’ve had people bring pictures of parents or siblings), pets, etc.
-
The shoot can be anywhere from 30 mins to 3 hours depending on what you would like. For more information please see pricing.
-
Your photos will be delivered through an online galley 1-2 weeks after your portrait session is complete. You will then select the digital files you would like from the gallery and purchase a portrait collection
-
To book a senior portrait session, you will pay the session retainer. This will reserve your date, and for my time and talent. Then, after your portrait session gallery is delivered to you via an online gallery you will purchase a portrait collection within 3 days of the gallery delivery. Each session is obligated to purchase a portrait collection.
Please see the Pricing tab for further information. Inquire for portrait collection pricing
