Starting to think about your Senior Portraits … but you're not sure where to begin?
Here are some things to think about...
When do you need to have your Senior Portrait turned in to the yearbook staff at your school? Some schools take a more formal Senior Portrait at school, so you don’t have to worry about the yearbook, but you may want to have some additional photos taken that show the real "YOU"... Other schools require you to personally turn in a digital file by a deadline. If that’s the case, find out that date from your school, and get your session date booked ASAP.
Where do you want your Senior Portraits taken? What "look" do you like for your background? A more "classic" look with fences, fields and trees? A "modern urban" look with buildings, brick and alleys? Try to picture where you'll feel most comfortable…that’s where you should be photographed. It could even be your backyard! If you don’t have a specific place in mind…no worries, we can discuss some great options available in the area. Take a look at the Senior Gallery for some ideas.
Schedule your Senior Session early. Once school begins you start to get busy with your Senior year - especially if you're involved in a sport or any activities. Also, weather can be very unpredictable beginning in early September. Weather reschedules happen often in the fall, and it can be difficult if you have a busy schedule.
What should you wear? My suggestion is to wear your favorite outfit[s]...something you look and feel great in! Just make sure you dress like "YOU"...whether you want to wear something like a long sundress with jewelry and heels, or casual (jeans and a t-shirt)...or a little of both...we can talk more about this...different clothing looks best in different settings, and a "pop" of color always looks incredible (keep in mind that large flowers, stripes or patterns can be distracting and take away from the focus of the photo - you!). Girls - don't forget about your nails (purple or chipped nail polish will show in the photos), and Guys - remember to shave (unless you like the "rugged" look). Blemishes?...no problem - I can remove them. :)
How long until you can see your images? Generally 2 weeks after your session your online image gallery will be ready for proofing. This is when you will review your proofs and choose your images for final editing. Your completely edited images will be ready for print within 3-4 weeks of your selection (sometimes longer during the months of July - November)...so please plan accordingly. Whatever you do, don't wait until the last minute to schedule your session!
How much will it cost? You can find the pricing for the available Session types below. Payment is due the day of the session via check.
