Things to know about booking

Things to know about booking

Spring and fall are the most popular times for senior portraits, and spots fill up fast. My calendar opens each June for the upcoming school year, and most sessions are booked about a year in advance. 

I only photograph one senior per day so I can give each session my full focus. All sessions take place around golden hour (roughly two hours before sunset) when the light is soft and beautiful. Because I rely on natural light, weather may occasionally require us to reschedule. 

Please note that I do family sessions as well, but my primary focus is senior clients. I would love to speak with you if you’re interested in booking a family session, simply reach out on our contact page for custom pricing. 

I’d love to help you hold on to this sweet season.

My calendar fills quickly, so if you’re thinking about senior photos, now’s the time to reach out!

I can’t wait to help you tell your story.



FAQs

  • Sessions usually take place on a week day evening, within two to three hours of sunset. These exact times vary throughout the year based on the season!

  • I suggest scheduling anywhere from 1 to 3 months in advance. If you would like your photos taken August through October, I recommend contacting me as early as possible (at least in the spring timeframe for the best selection of dates)! Session time slots for those months tend to book the fastest!

    I also have an email list that you are welcome to sign up for, where I release my calendar dates as soon as they go live. You can sign up here.

  • You will receive your full proof portrait gallery 2-4 weeks after your session. You will receive a few session previews within a a few days of your session. You will choose your package favorite images for final editing.

  • Yes! All of the photos in your final gallery will be beautifully retouched according to the levels you prefer. Additional retouched images are available to purchase. I do not include body re-shaping in my packages.

  • The majority of my sessions are scheduled on weekdays in the evenings. Because I’m also a mom to 3 children, a horse, a donkey, dogs, cats, and a wife to very supportive husband, my weekends are reserved for family time.

  • Glasses:  If you wear glasses, clean the lenses.

    Tan Lines/Sunburn: Ladies please avoid suntan lines. Try not to get sunburned, we want you to look and feel your best!

    Clothing: Select your outfits.  Iron/put on hangers. Include corresponding accessories & jewelry (include in a ziplock bag) on each hanger.

    Props: Gather & Clean your props. Musical instruments, awards, letterman jackets, sports equipment.

    Ladies: Practice your hair and makeup! Bring makeup and hair products for touch-ups. Paint your nails the night before your appointment or have them done professionally.

    Guys: If you are someone that shaves, shave the day of your session. Get your hair cut about a week or so before your appointment.
