Portraiture + Senior Sessions
Seniors are at a tremendous stage in their lives, they have their whole future ahead of them and they aren’t afraid to think outside the frame for their photos. For many parents and families, the senior portrait has emerged as one of the biggest milestones, a moment to be frozen as this beautiful young adult emerges from childhood to a new stepping stone on their journey. I feel it is vital to talk with the future graduate, ask them questions, learn about their future plans; invest in who they are as a person so their pictures genuinely reflect their many talents and personality. I want to create images that are natural and reflect their inner spirit.
In the world of digital imagery, devoted to “selfies”, and the Instagram generation, it is important for me to create timeless photos to mark this life change with images of who you are and what is significant to you; captured the way it should be. Having your senior portraits taken should be a fun and exciting time in your life. I will provide you individualized attention and will work with you every step of the way. Wardrobe should be an expression of your style and how you see yourself. We will discuss many options leading up to the day of the shoot so you won’t be left wondering what to wear. Following our session together I will provide you with lots of photo options, social media ready pictures, and take the time to individually edit the images we collaborate on. I take great pride in the work we do together and our images will be a direct reflection of our time together. You will have pictures that will allow you to cherish this moment as a keepsake for years to come.
Common Questions
What happens after the session?
Session editing is normally done within four weeks. I will communicate with your personal gallery and log-in information. You’ll be able to see your proofs, order prints and products, ask questions, and go over anything you need.
Am I allowed to pick the pictures I want edited or how I want them edited?
In short, it is a joint effort of our artistic styles to which images are chosen and how they are edited. If there are specific styles you are looking for, we will discuss that before the session begins so I have it in mind as I am shooting. All photos ordered 8×10 or larger will be edited.
Why aren’t there any prints included in the price?
Session fees include my (photographer’s) time, talent, editing of all images, and a password protected online viewing gallery. A lot of time goes into each session. My work doesn’t stop once the camera lens cap is put back on. I take pride in choosing your best images, editing them in our style and setting up your online gallery. Unless specified, prints are not included in the session fee. I have also taken great care to research and find an amazing professional printer that I use in order to offer high quality professional prints and products.
How do I decide on clothing choices?
We can work together if you would like to make sure the clothing options are the perfect representation of your style and artistic needs.
Do you offer hair and make up?
I work with a professional stylist that provides hair and makeup for shoots that require that specific attention.
How do I choose a location for my themed session?
It will be a collaborative process on picking the most well suited location-based on the look you would like to achieve for your photos.
How does the high school get my yearbook photo?
After you select an image for the yearbook, I will send a high-resolution correctly sized and cropped image to the high school along with a confirmation email to you.
