Senior Experience



I can't wait to meet you!


1.Book Your Session

Online booking or contact me.......

Let's just start off by saying: I know senior portraits may not be the thing you are MOST excited about in your senior year. I totally get it: being in front of the camera can be intimidating and feel a little bit like a chore or a box you have to check to make your momma or your parents happy. But, I'm going to ask a huge favor...just trust me that we're going to have fun





2. Questionnaire!





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are going to receive a senior questionnaire to complete. This questionnaire will help me to get to know you, your style and your preferences so that I can create the best possible senior experience for you!

3.Locations


Are they a big deal?

Aside from choosing your outfits - choosing your LOCATIONS is a huge part of what will determine the overall style and aesthetic of your images. It also takes a little bit of logistical planning to map out where we will shoot and the travel time between locations. Overall, there are a few things to keep in mind when picking where to shoot. Your Welcome Book will walk you through the steps.

4.PICKING OUTFITS

 

This part can be SUPER overwhelming - I know! So, let's break it down to be really easy. Typically, for my guys I recommend 3-4 for a session. To get the MOST variety possible, I recommend doing one casual look and one more formal.

5.Session Day!!

It's your day to be all about you!! 


6.Sneak Peaks


after your shoot, my favorite part of the process is sharing your next day sneak peeks! I truly get just as excited about your images as you do…and I go home straight from your shoot to edit a handful of my favorites and get them in your hands ASAP! You can expect 2-3 sneak peeks to be shared the next day after your shoot…and you are welcome to share them anywhere you’d like, too!

7.PROOF GALLERY

You will receive your proof gallery within 1 week of your session date to pick out the favorite list to have edited.

8.The Gallery Delivery

 



Editing your final gallery typically takes 2-3 weeks, and gallery delivery day is THE MOST EXCITING!!! I will send you the link to your final gallery in an email. This gallery is where you can easily download, share and print all of your high resolution digital files. Your gallery is SO easy to use, and my hope is that it makes sharing your images easy.
