Question 1

How do I schedule a session?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are scheduled at the free consultation. During the consultation you sit down with me and plan out your entire senior session from outfits to locations. The session is 100% customized to each senior. No two sessions are the same.

Question 2

How long is a senior portrait session?

Accepted Answer

All of the sessions are two - three hours. This allows plenty of time to change outfits and even drive to different locations. I make it easy and fun. You will be surprised by how fast time flies. Are you a guy and think you don't want to spend three hours on your senior portraits? Don't worry. There is no pressure to use all of the time.

Question 3

How many outfits do I get?

Accepted Answer

I will not charge you more or limit how many outfits you can have at your session. Your senior portraits are about you! On average most seniors will have three to four outfits with a few more as back-ups.

Question 4

Do I have to use your hair and makeup artist?

Accepted Answer

Some clients will choose to have their hair and makeup done professionally while others will choose to do it themselves. I do allow families to make this choice themselves. Having your makeup done by a professional makeup artist does help hide skin blemishes and results in consistent skin tones in your final images. I am happy to recommend makeup artists if you would like to go this route.

Question 5

What if I don't know how to pose?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry, none of my seniors are professional models. I work with each senior and walk them through poses step by step during the session.

Question 6

What about my yearbook image?

Accepted Answer

During the session I will make sure I take several yearbook style images in each outfit. During your in-person reveal you will have the opportunity to select the image you would like in the yearbook. I will then take care of submiting the image to your high school for you. It is that easy.

Question 7

What do families invest in senior portraits?

Accepted Answer

Investment in senior portraits starts with a $225 session fee. Prints and products are purchased after your session during the in-person image reveal. The minimum print order is $500. The average investment in senior portraits is between $800 - $1,600. Clients love the high quality heriloom products that are offered.

Question 8

Can I get the digital images from my session?

Accepted Answer

Yes! There are a lot of different package options that offer digital images.

Question 9

Do you offer any print products?

Accepted Answer

Your senior portait session does not stop at the session. It continues during the in-person image reveal. At this time families get to choose custom designed products they can display in their homes for years to come. Popular products include heirloom prints, wall art, custom designed albums, graduation
 
cards, and more.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
