What Makes Us Different?
Your Questions Answered
-
We recommend booking your senior photoshoot at least 2-3 months in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during the busy fall and spring seasons. Early booking ensures you have time to plan for outfits, locations, and any additional services you may want, such as hair and makeup. Plus, it guarantees you won't miss yearbook deadlines if required!
-
We suggest bringing 5-7 outfits to give variety to your photos. You can mix casual, formal, and trendy looks to showcase your unique style. Don't forget to consider layering options like jackets, scarves, and accessories to add extra flair to your photos. If you need help choosing, we can offer styling guidance!
-
Absolutely! You can select a location that resonates with your personality—whether it’s an urban setting, a natural park, or a meaningful spot like your school or favorite hangout. If you're unsure, we have a list of recommended locations based on the look you want. We're happy to scout locations with you to find the perfect backdrop!
-
Besides your outfits, consider bringing props or meaningful items that represent your hobbies or interests. Popular props include sports gear, musical instruments, books, or even your pet! Don’t forget essentials like touch-up makeup, hair products, and water to stay refreshed during the session. And don't forget your bestie so we can grab a couple pics of the two of you!
-
Your senior photoshoot typically lasts around 1-3 hours, depending on the session you choose, number of outfit changes and locations. We’ll ensure that you have enough time to relax, have fun, and get a variety of beautiful shots. For multi-location shoots, we may need a bit longer to transition between places.
-
Your edited photos will be ready for viewing within 1-2 weeks of your session. We take the time to perfect each image and ensure they meet our high standards. Once they're ready, you’ll receive access to your online gallery where you can view, download, and share your favorite images!

The number of images depends on your package, but you can generally expect to receive between 40-65 edited photos from your senior session. We focus on delivering high-quality images that capture your best angles and reflect your unique personality.

Yes, we understand that senior photography is an investment, and we want to make it as manageable as possible. We offer flexible payment plans to spread out the cost of your session and any custom products you choose, such as albums or wall art. We’ll work with you to find a payment option that fits your budget.
-
Of course! Having a friend or family member there can make you feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We do recommend keeping the group small so there aren’t too many distractions. If you want to include a friend in your photos, that’s possible too—just let us know ahead of time.
