Selecting outfits that reflect your style and pairing each look with the perfect location is only the beginning, every step is part of a fun and memorable experience.

What to expect
Your appointments
When you schedule your senior photography experience, you are booking three (3) in person appointments:
One-On-One Consult
Photography Experience
Image Premiere
By the time we begin your photography session, I will know all about you and your expectations. This process is designed to make sure we are on the same page so your final images reflect your vision.
Senior Style Profile
Immediately after you book, I will send The Senior Style Profile, a questionnaire about your interests, hobbies, personal style, desired locations, vision for your session. This helps me know what kinds of questions to ask for our one on one.
Once complete, you will receive an email with a link to book your One-on-One Consult so we can start planning your dream session! This appointment typically takes place about 2-3 weeks before your session.
One On One Appointment
Where do we meet for this session? We will meet at my home office.
How long will it last? It should only take 45 minutes to an hour to get through this appointment.
Who should attend this appointment? The senior and one parent or guardian.
Do I have to participate in this appointment? Yes, the consultation is a key part of your custom experience. This appointment is relaxing and fun and will help us start to envision your overall session. We will discuss locations, and style your outfits, talk about hair & makeup options and overall feel for each vignette.
The sky is truly the limit on creativity! Don't be shy. Ask for what you want! Senior portraits are the perfect time to push your limits and to really AMPLIFY your everyday style and personality so it really comes through in your images.
What should I bring to the ONE-ON-ONE? Bring all of the looks and accessories and any necessary undergarments you are considering wearing during your session, including jewelry and shoes and props if desired.
How many looks should I plan to bring? To give us the best outcome, bring MORE than you plan to wear. A variety of styles from trendy to classic works best! Bring lots of options and we will narrow it down to 6 complete looks for your session.
We will do a fitting a take photos of you in the finalized looks during the consult and pair the looks with the locations you envision. After the meeting I will create a Session Map to give you the day of your photography session! The session map will be your guide to look and location order the day of your shoot.

Professional Hair & Makeup:
I highly recommend getting professional hair & makeup done before your session. The cost is typically $200 and is beyond worth it!! If you are interested, I will put you in touch with one of my fabulous preferred hair & makeup artists who specialize in seniors. They will work with you the day of your session to get you camera ready. Be sure to book this appointment immediately after locking in your photography session or one may not be available. Also, make sure it starts no less than 3 hours before the start of your photography session, it usually only takes 2 hours but you will want to allow for delays and give some time to eat before you photoshoot.
Where do we meet the day of the photography session?
Unless discussed otherwise, we will meet at my home photography studio. We will get organized and warm up with a some fun fashion inspired studio images. I will go over posing naturally and get you used to being in front of the camera before we head out to our first location. The studio is also a great place for us to capture a great headshot for upcoming career, college and greek life applications.
Who should come to the photo session?
Unless we have discussed adding someone specific, please only bring one parent/guardian to your session.
