Your Senior Story
As your photographer, I'm here to guide you to feel confident to be yourself. I will help you show up in a way that is real - and authentically you. Together, we will enjoy a casual evening joyfully photographing your story, and the inner radiance of who you truly are.
The Senior Portrait Experience
It is important to me that I know your senior before introducing the camera. After we book you preferred date, I highly recommend meeting with your senior in-person or through Zoom, about 2 weeks before the session. Although this step is optional, my life coaching experience enhances my ability to intuitively connect with your senior. This time also allows for space for questions, and creating a unique vision for their session.
No matter what, we will design a portfolio that stands out from the crowd. Sessions are photographed outdoors at a location of your choice, perhaps at your favorite park or your private residence, about 1-2 hours before sunset.
I bring a positive, go-with-the-flow energy to my sessions and expect to create a fun evening. During the photography session, I will gently guide your senior toward natural poses to help them feel comfortable.
Most families spend from $750-1500 on their Senior Portrait experience with session fee, graduation cards and Fine Art prints.
The full senior session photography experience: 90-minute session with unlimited outfit changes, 50+ high-resolution digital files for prints, web-sized images for social media sharing, online gallery, and the option to order Fine Art prints to put your graduate on the most stunning display. Travel is also included within the TC area. A 50% non-refundable retainer secures your date on my calendar. Returning clients will receive a discount at booking.
FAQ
Can we combine a senior & family session?
A family session of any length is billed as a separate session. However, I provide discounts when two full sessions are booked within the same calendar year.
From where should we order prints?
Through your professional photographer, of course! Access to prints is available directly through your online gallery. Unlike mass-produced prints found online or in box stores, your images on high-end paper, with options are only available through a professional photographer. While you're not obligated to order prints through me, I highly recommend ordering at least one Fine Art print from your gallery as a display in your home. They will not disappoint! However, where you choose to print is ultimately your decision.
How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking 3-4 months in advance. However, I can often squeeze in a last-minute Senior session, even if my Family session calendar is full! A 50% deposit fee and signed contract will secure your date.
You can just "photoshop" that, right?
While I have some post-processing skills, my main strength lies in creating beautiful photographs directly through the lens. If you have specific concerns or requests for post-processing, let's discuss them, and I'll do my best within the scope of my skills.
Will you help me pose?
Absolutely! While I do provide prompts to guide the session, I also embrace spontaneity, allowing natural moments to unfold beautifully. It's a balance between gentle guidance and capturing the authentic essence of the moment. I'm here to make the experience comfortable and enjoyable for you!
Can Parents tag along?
I highly encourage you to have this conversation with your senior. I am comfortable either way. While you are welcome, just know I typically request some momentary distance at some point during the session. In my experience, this can sometimes take the pressure off resulting in more natural poses. :)
