Don’t worry—you don’t have to figure this out alone. During your planning consultation, we’ll talk through outfit ideas, colors, and styles that photograph beautifully and feel like you. I typically recommend a mix of classic looks and something that shows your personality. Layers, texture, and well-fitting clothing always photograph well. I’m also happy to review outfits ahead of time if you’d like extra reassurance.
Yes—100%. You do not need to know how to pose or “be a model.” I guide you every step of the way with natural posing and prompts so you never feel awkward or unsure. My goal is for you to look relaxed, confident, and like yourself—not stiff or overly posed.
Absolutely! Whether it’s sports uniforms, instruments, art supplies, animals, or other meaningful items, I love incorporating what makes you you. These details help tell your story and make your portraits truly personal. We’ll plan for this during your consultation.
Yes! Cars and pets can be included depending on location and timing. If you have something special you’d love to include, just let me know—we’ll talk through the logistics and make a plan.
I don’t provide hair and makeup services directly, but I’m happy to recommend trusted local professionals. Professional hair and makeup is optional, but many seniors love the confidence boost it provides. If you prefer to do your own, that’s perfectly fine too—I’ll offer tips during planning to help you look your best on camera.
If you’re planning a haircut, do it about a week before your session so it looks natural. I recommend avoiding spray tans right before your session, as they can photograph unevenly. If you’re unsure about anything, just ask—I’m happy to guide you.
Most seniors book their sessions between late spring and early fall of their senior year. Mid to late summer and early fall dates fill quickly, so I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred timing.
Senior portraits are more than just photos—they’re a celebration of a milestone. Professional planning, posing guidance, quality retouching, and finished artwork ensure your images will be something you’re proud to display and treasure for years to come.
