Booking and Planning
Ready to lock in your portrait date? Let’s do this! Once you have locked in your date with a paid retainer and signed contract, you will receive your Senior Style Guide as well as your questionnaire! There you will find everything you need to know about what to wear, how to prep, and what to expect. Your questionnaire will teach me everything I need to know about you and your vision for your senior session, so I can customize it for you!
2. It’s Shoot day!
Here comes the fun part! After working together to choose the perfect location and plan out the details of your session, we will meet on-location to begin your senior portrait experience. I will help you finalize your outfit choices and style your wardrobe to be picture-perfect before we start shooting. Then, depending on your package, we will spend 45-90 minutes at one location in 1-2 outfit changes. I will pose you and guide your throughout the entire session -no modeling experience necessary! Your only job is to have fun and enjoy the day!
3. Social Media Sneak Peek
On the night of your senior session, I will share a sneak peek for you to see and share! Then, it will be about two weeks until you receive your full senior portrait gallery online. I pride myself on quick turnaround times - I’ll never make you wait months to see your photos!
4. Gallery Delivery
After two weeks, your full online gallery will be delivered! Here you will be able to choose your favorite 20 images from your session to download, share, and print your fully edited, high-resolution digital files.
5. Ordering Products
What good are photos if they aren’t printed? If you choose a package with products you can select your favorite images for prints and products (including albums and announcements) straight from your gallery! So simple!
