First of all, let’s assume you’re a parent wanting high-quality photos to capture your senior’s personality.

There can be a bit of time-blindness and general vague expectations when it comes to senior pictures, so let me give you some HARD FACTS:
☐ You’ll need photos for announcements/invitations
☐ You’ll need photos for slideshows, senior night at church, senior spotlights at community events, etc.
☐ Have your student photographed on or before spring break to allow plenty of time to order and mail announcements
Now, as an artist who senses both the seen and the unseen, allow me to share some HEART KNOWLEDGE.
Your senior will also want photos that discreetly signal, “I’m confident, I’m cool.”
High-Quality photos aren’t just About Photography; They Send the Right Signals
I honestly can’t profess to be such an amazing photographer that I can read minds. But I do know every human wants to feel accepted and loved.
I can’t tell you that my photography will automatically provide confidence; but I can say that my unique process produces a range of timeless shots and one-of-a-kind, creative images so you have a variety to choose from. Because we meet in person to review the photos, if something’s off, we’ll fix it together.
The focus is on quality, not quantity, so expect to view a curated set of thoughtful portraits. We’ll meet in my studio a few days after the photoshoot. I’ll project the images on a big screen, and we’ll pick your favorites together. You’ll take home any purchased images that day.
How Much Will It Cost?
There is a Session fee of 175 for a Studio Session (call for a quote on an Outdoor Session- usually 275-350).
Images are purchased separately at 125 each, which includes both the digital file and a 5”x7” mounted, archival print. Expect to spend between 500-1800, depending on how many images you love- I also have seasonal packages available that fall in that price range.
Flexible payment plans are available if you end up loving all of them- please ask!
Reviewing the images together is my trick to make sure clients are satisfied with them! It’s a collaborative process- you’re in control!
