Upcoming seniors from all over the Northeast seek out Christina Runnals Photography for their senior portraits each year, which is why we created a pre-booking process.  Pre-booking simply means you will select the month you would like to have your senior portraits taken, pay a deposit, and you will be officially guaranteed a spot in that month!   You will choose your official session date in April.  For the highly coveted August and September dates, please be sure to pre-book at least 6-12 months in advance!  (PRO-TIP FOR FIRST TIME PARENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS- If your son or daughter is graduating in 2026, you will want to schedule their senior pictures for the summer or fall of 2025, which means you should be pre-booking or booking their session with us by May 2025 at the very latest!)

Please view travel fees if you'd like your session to be outside of the Scituate/Cohasset/Norwell/Marshfield area.

Pre-BOOK YOUR SENIOR PORTRAITS

Yes, all packages include downloading and printing rights to ALL of your selected images.
Does my session price include high resolution digital images?  
We recommend booking your session at least six months in advance, but once in a while we do have space open up at the last minute.  August and September sessions are often booked 8-12 months in advance.
How far in advance should I book my senior portrait session?
Class of 2026 can pre-book their summer/fall 2025 spot here.  This will guarantee you a spot on our calendar for your desired month in 2025.  You will choose your session date in April 2025.  
I'm in the class of 2026.  Can I book a spot already for NEXT summer/fall?

No spots remaining

This likely means that that specific month is, unfortunately, sold out.  Make sure to check out our sunrise sessions and mid-day sessions for availability, and also do not hesitate to add your name to the waitlist!
Why are there no dates available in the month I'm trying to book?
I love creating images that are natural and full of light. My photography style has been described as light and airy, or bright and colorful.
How would you describe your photography style?
After you book your session, you will receive a thorough guide from me detailing my best senior portrait wardrobe tips.  There is a guide for the ladies and a guide for the gents!
What should I wear for my senior pictures?
When you receive you proof gallery, you will have the option to purchase as many additional images as you'd like for your final gallery!
What if we end up loving more photos than the amount of images our package includes?!
We will reschedule of course! I typically will try to reschedule for the very next day, or within 7 days of your session.
What if it rains on the day of my session?
Yes!  I have had many beautiful beach sessions in October and November.  The grasses are golden and the light is warm.  I recommend sweaters be worn at the beach in these months!
Will the beach work as a location in October or November?
During the booking process, you will have an option to add a twin to your senior portrait session.  Adding a twin will add a minimum of 20 minutes and a max of 60 minutes to your session, and will result in additional images in your final gallery.  Twins can share the time however you'd like, and will be photographed separately as well as together!
How can I book a session for my twins?
Yes!  During the booking process, you will have an option to add a friend to your senior portrait session.  Adding a friend will add a minimum of 20 minutes and a max of 60 minutes to your session, and will result in additional images in your final gallery.  Friends can share the time however you'd like, and can be photographed separately as well as together!
Can my friend and I share a session?
Yes!  I have photographed seniors all over the northeast US.  You can view my current travel fees here.
Do you travel for sessions beyond the South Shore?
Absolutely! I love creating images that are customized to you and your personality.  
Can I include my pet or sports equipment or other props?
Most definitely not! The Sand Dollar package is popular with senior guys because it allows them to wear an athletic uniform on a field and then a different outfit for some beach or urban shots. 
Do guys *have* to choose the "for the guys" session?
I am more than happy to set up a way for you to pay in monthly increments leading up to your session!
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yay! Simply head to our booking page and fill out your information. Choose a date for your session, sign the contract, and pay your deposit - you're booked!  
Okay, we're so excited and we're ready to book!! What next??
