SENIOR PORTRAIT COLLECTIONS
For many young adults, a Senior Portrait Session is often their first professional photo shoot. As your photographer, I recognize the key to creating wonderful pictures together is that the senior be made to feel comfortable, confident, and that the session itself be just as memorable as the photographs. For parents, a Senior Portrait Session is an opportunity to document this fleeting moment in time as your son or daughter embraces life’s next adventure. More than simply a photograph for the yearbook, you are investing in a picture collection of timeless value.
Senior Portrait Sessions encourage seniors to celebrate who they are, be themselves, have fun, and collaborate on how we approach their photographs. Sessions are relaxed, tailored to the senior’s personality, and deliver a diverse collection of gently posed and casual, candid moments, ensuring there is a variety of images for everyone to enjoy. By photographing with natural light, we’re able to explore and make the most of our chosen location. All sessions include a collection of high-resolution digital photographs processed in the style as seen in my portfolio, an online gallery for sharing your images, and the option to purchase professional, heirloom prints and albums.

ABOUT YOUR SESSION
-
Yes, all sessions include the high-resolution digital image files at no extra cost. The number of images you will receive is dependent upon your choice of Session Package. The delivered images are processed in the style as seen in my portfolio.
-
Outdoor sessions are typically scheduled for either morning or late afternoon an hour or two before sunset, as these times provide for the best natural light for outdoor photography. Accommodations for other times can also be arranged to meet your schedule. If you prefer to shoot in an indoor location, such as your home, sessions are best scheduled for when your home’s interior is at its brightest. Bookings can be made for both weekdays and weekends.
-
Absolutely! Feel free to pick a location you enjoy, has meaning to you, or is rich with memories. Your own home — inside and out — can often be a wonderful choice, capturing you in a familiar, loved place. I’m also happy to suggest a location. Many outdoor public locations are free of charge, but if your chosen location requires a permit or reservation to shoot on the property, we’ll work together to make the necessary arrangements. Admission, parking, and permit fees would be in addition to the package price.
-
As we near our session date, I’ll be checking in on the weather and will reach out to you if the forecast requires we reschedule. Though rain would require rescheduling, overcast is just fine and provides for wonderful, diffuse lighting!
-
All of my sessions are very relaxed and designed to make you feel comfortable and at ease. Combining unobtrusive camerawork with friendly portraiture, my promise is to always be a motivating and reassuring energy as we work together. Being yourself and having fun are always encouraged! And as a natural light photographer, we’ll enjoy exploring our chosen location to capture a variety of images: gently posed & candid, fun & lively, stationary and moving.
-
Prior to the shoot, a consultation on wardrobe, color, and texture is always welcome. Keep in mind, you’ll feel most at home during the session by being true to you and wearing what best suits your personality. You’re invited to bring along props, personal mementos, or even items relating to a hobby or school sport!
-
A change of wardrobe is a great way to achieve different looks. For the 30 minute session, one outfit works best. The 60 minute session allows time for two outfits, with a portable on-location changing tent available for the senior. For either session, swapping out accessories, layering, or adding a jacket are easy ways to achieve a versatile look without the complete change. For seniors who wish to photograph with several different outfits, longer sessions can be customized.
-
You bet! Once you receive your images and select your favorite for the yearbook, I’ll prepare the photograph to your school’s specifications. If your school requires, I can also personally email the image to the appropriate yearbook contact.
-
Each image you receive will have been edited for color balance, contrast, and tone equal to the quality standard of the images shared on my website. Additional cosmetic editing, such as blemish removal, will be performed by request on any image ordered for an album or as a print through my lab.
-
Once edited, your images will be uploaded to an online gallery, accessible from any computer or mobile device for 60 days. From the gallery, you’ll be able to download your images in high-resolution and share the images with family and friends. Prints can also be ordered directly from the gallery.
-
Archival prints, canvas art, seasonal cards, and albums can be ordered through your Personalized Online Gallery. Prints are produced by a lab that caters to professional photographers. The prints you receive are color accurate, more resistant to fading, deliver excellent flesh reproduction, detail sharpness, and brilliant image quality.
