I am so excited you are interested in working together for your senior pictures! You will find everything you need to get started here, including general information and FAQs.
If you don't see the answer to your question,
1. Design & Plan
Ready to lock in your session date and start the fun stuff? As soon as your deposit is paid, we will plan a call or Zoom to talk through all of your details. We will plan your outfits and locations, along with anything unique you'd like to include. I'm always excited to get outside the box and create your vision. Let's have some fun with it!
2. Yay! It's shoot day!
The best part is here! We will meet at our pre-determined locations and we will make final adjustments to your wardrobe. Once you are looking amazing, we will get to work (well, I will get to work and you will mostly be having fun!) capturing your personality in some of your favorite clothes, in your favorite places and doing your favorite things. We will shoot for an hour to hour and a half and ensure we get all of your outfits and hobbies in. You will be an old pro in no time, don't worry!
3. Reveal Day!
About 1-2 weeks after your session, we will set up another meeting, either at your home or over Zoom, and you will get to see all of your final images! Here you and your parent will decide which ones are your must-haves and select how you'd like to display them, either on your wall or in an album, or both! Any image you purchase in print you will also receive the digital file for small printing and sharing on social. We will design and finalize your order and 4-6 weeks later, they will be ready for you to pick up!

-
How early should I book my session?Typically, I book 3-4 weeks in advance. This gives us enough time to plan out details and logistics of your session. If you are thinking about a specific date, it's never too early to reach out! Your date is not secured until your session fee is paid so always better to be early.
-
What time of day will my session be?I typically shoot 2 hours before sunset to get the best light so session time varies throughout the year. It can also change depending on location and weather.
-
How many outfits should I bring?Senior sessions include 2-3 outfit changes and I always have seniors plan one casual, one formal, and one "fun" wardrobe change. The fun outfit can be your sports uniform, hobby attire, or just something more "out of the box" that you wouldn't normally wear. We will be sure to get a wide variety in all so you have a large selection to choose from!
-
What do I do about hair and make up?While it's not required, professional hair and make up is almost always a good idea. I partner with several great hair and make up professionals and will provide their contact to you so you can feel your best for your session!
-
Do you sell just the digitals?I do not offer a Collection that only comes with digital files. I believe it is SO important to print your photos, and hate the idea of your images simply getting stuck on your phone or computer, so I offer Collections with beautiful print products AND digital files.
-
Can I edit my photos to match my feed?I totally understand aesthetics are everything, however all the images we create are copyrighted, and cannot be altered in any way. I am creating art as I capture you, and it’s important my work remains consistent with my brand so others know exactly what they can expect to get.
