Each senior session is crafted to give you a relaxed, guided experience and beautifully natural images. From personalized planning to outfit guidance and location recommendations, every step is designed to help you feel prepared and confident.
And because these moments deserve to be preserved, every collection includes a Signature 10×10 Heirloom Album - a custom, archival keepsake showcasing your most meaningful images.
Thoughtful Sessions. Timeless Keepsakes.
All packages include high-resolution digital files with full downloading and printing rights. In addition to your digital images, every senior session also comes with a 10×10 Signature Heirloom Album, custom-designed to showcase your favorite portraits. You’ll have the option to order additional artwork as well, including professional prints, framed pieces, canvases, keepsake boxes, and more; timeless ways to enjoy your images for years to come.
WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH MY IMAGES?
Your proofing gallery arrives within one week of your session. Final edited images are delivered within two weeks of selecting your favorites. Need a few images rushed? Just ask!
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
Yes! October and November beach sessions are absolutely beautiful - golden grasses, soft warm light, and cozy sweater vibes.
DO BEACH SESSIONS WORK IN FALL?
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll simply reschedule - typically within the same week or even the very next day when possible.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Twins are photographed through a shared senior session with an Add a Twin option selected at the time of booking. This allows time for each senior to be photographed individually, as well as together. I highly recommend adding additional session time so both seniors have plenty of dedicated shooting time and variety in their final galleries, without the experience feeling rushed.
HOW DO SESSIONS WORK FOR TWINS?
Absolutely! Pets and meaningful props are always welcome and help personalize your session.
CAN I BRING A PET OR USE PROPS?
Every senior receives my Senior Style Guide, filled with outfit inspiration, color guidance, and styling tips. We’ll also talk through outfit ideas during your pre-session consultation, where I’ll help you refine your looks and make sure everything feels cohesive and true to you. Together, we’ll make the planning process feel simple, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
During your consultation, we’ll chat through locations together and choose the perfect spot for your style - beaches, fields, dunes, or a more urban look. Every location is thoughtfully selected to create that soft, natural, light-filled look my seniors love.
WHERE WILL MY SESSION TAKE PLACE?
Yes! I’m happy to set up a monthly plan leading up to your session.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
If your preferred month is already booked, I recommend checking surrounding months - most yearbook photos aren’t due until mid-November. September, October, and even early November are absolutely gorgeous for senior portraits. You’re also welcome to add your name to the waitlist, and I’ll reach out right away if an opening becomes available.
WHAT IF THE MONTH I WANT IS SOLD OUT?
Many seniors book 6–12 months ahead, especially for August and September dates. Sunrise and off-peak times sometimes open last minute, so feel free to check in even if your ideal month looks full.
