The time has come...
You did it! Your high school years are creeping to a close. Whether the idea of marking the occasion in front of a camera makes you giddy, or makes you cringe this time of your life marks the closing of a long chapter and the opening of another. That deserves to be celebrated, and that's where I come in!
How to Prepare
Bring one, bring all! Choose clothing options that you love and that represent your personal style well. A good rule of thumb is a dressy outfit, a casual outfit, and something fun! You can be as traditional or out of the box as you like. Adding pops of color, and layers to an outfit creates visual interest. Think about your location choices and what types of colors will vibe well there. If you feel stuck you can always reach out to me for help, or bring everything along and we can decide that day. Don't forget coordinating shoes, avoid haircuts within 2 weeks of your session, opt out of spray tans, and keep in mind that your hands will probably be seen in any close up photos <3
Celebrating You
The time we spend together curating a stunning senior gallery is YOUR time. I want you to feel good and I want you to have fun. Practice your facial expressions in the mirror the day before (yes seriously!) make a day out off your session, bring along a friend if you like, and feel free to speak up with any ideas or requests! We are going to have a great day!
Celebrating Your Interests
A fun way to add to to really personalize your session is by including hobbies, mementos, cars, or pets into the session. Take some time to think about things or activities you might want to showcase and I will work to include them.
Picking a Location
There are countless options in the area from well loved local parks and creeks, to city streets and rooftops. During the planning stage of your session I will use your questionnaire to provide you with options that best suit what you are looking for! With that said, if you have a special place in mind I am 100% ready to meet you there!
Package Options

Everything else you need to know...
You will start by choosing a session package, date, and time. I will try to get to know a little bit about you and if you have a vision for your session. From the extraordinary and one of a kind ideas, to the *I just want to get it over with quickly* sentiments, I'm going to make it happen for you. We will chat a bit, and together choose a location, and make a plan. Next you can prepare for your session by gathering up outfits and props etc. Read on for tips!
All my senior sessions are shot at the beginning or end of the day. There are benefits to both! On your session day we will meet and, depending on your package, spend 1-3 hours exploring, moving between locations and capturing some great shots! I will make some bad jokes, we will chat, and I will give you some easy prompts . I will take photos that are more traditional and we will also play around with some fun ideas and more artistic shots. You are welcome and encouraged to make requests and throw around ideas.
Parents are welcome but not required to attend the session. They are free to tag along or hang up, whatever makes everyone the most comfortable! I also welcome any best friend or sibling supporters!
Once we wrap up I will spend 2-3 weeks artfully editing, retouching, and preparing a gallery of images from your session. Your gallery will be delivered digitally and you will be able to download the full resolution photographs as well as resized images for sharing on social media. If your package included prints, you will also receive the instructions on selecting your images.
I'm excited for a stellar session!
