Senior Sessions
Capturing joyful, natural senior portraits that feel effortless and unforgettable.
Senior portraits should be more than just pictures. They should tell the story of who you are in this moment. Your senior year is a milestone worth celebrating, and my goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, authentic, and truly seen. Every session is designed to capture your personality and style in a way that feels effortless and timeless, so your images reflect not just how you look, but who you are.

FAQ's
When should I book a senior session?
My clients usually prefer two sessions : one in the fall of their senior year and one in the spring. Some opt for a summer session before the official start of the senior year.
I recommend booking your session at least 2-3 months in advance to ensure availability. Spring and fall are especially popular, so the earlier, the better!
If you're not sure what your looking for, let's schedule a consultation or I can send you some more information on the topic.
What is the ideal time of day to book my session?
GOLDEN HOUR!! (the hour after sunrise or before sunset) provides the most beautiful, soft lighting. I recommend booking your session in spring or fall for comfortable weather, but I’m happy to work with your preferred date!

What's include with my session?
Every session includes a personalized consultation to plan your shoot (via phone call, email, zoom, or in-person), a set amount of shooting time (depending on package booked), and a beautifully curated gallery of edited images.
Signature & Luxe Sessions also include time for outfit + location changes. Luxe Sessions include a $200 print credit.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs.
I have a list of great location suggestions, but I’m happy to shoot at a spot that’s meaningful to you. We can even do multiple locations if time allows.
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type and scope of the project.
Luxe Sessions are not timed but typically range from 1.5 - 2 hours).
Signature sessions are 1 hour (or until the good light is gone.)
Express sessions are capped at 30 minutes.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and we're flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
How many outfits do I need?
Express sessions don't allow time for outfit changes. However - we can be creative with base wardrobe. Then add jackets, sweater, letterman jacket, etc.
Signature + Luxe Sessions : I recommend bringing 2-3 outfits to give variety to your photos. We’ll discuss wardrobe during your consultation to ensure your choices reflect your style and personality.
Can I include some props or personalized items in my photos?
Definitely! Bring items that showcase your hobbies, sports, or interests — think musical instruments, sports gear, or even your pet!
(We'll go over this in the consultation.)
What if I'm a parent of a senior that doesn't want a session but I do!?
Some seniors don't care to have their year memorialized and that's okay! For those families, I recommend setting up a family session and we can take some time out of that session to make sure we capture some images just of your senior
A whole session dedicated to just him or her may be too much but a family session makes it less intimidating. And you get the added bonus of updated family photos.
