UPGRADES & EDITING

You will have the option to upgrade your session experience to 35 final high-resolution digital images that will be delivered on a custom USB with a print release, along with a 4x6 photo box & proofs (4x6s) and the 10x10 coffee table book for an additional price.

Minor retouching will be done on gallery proofs, and complete skin retouching will be done on the images that you wish to order. Removal of braces or other more detailed retouching will be charged an additional fee.

Since many of my seniors choose Summer or late Summer/early Fall sessions please be conscious of your tan lines. These can be very difficult to edit, especially on certain areas of the body. Wear sunscreen and choose outfits that can cover them if you can.

 

CLOTHING

Girls -- bring at least 2-4 complete outfits to your session (if you have booked a full senior experience). It’s nice to have a selection so we can coordinate to accommodate different locations. Do not be afraid to dress up and accessorize! Heels are great and the right shoe can really finish off an outfit. Camis or tank tops are helpful for changing on-location & I do provide a changing tent as well.

Makeup - I promise less is more. If you do not usually wear makeup then please keep it simple. When you see your final images you do not want to be overwhelmed with a face you may not recognize. I can do certain edits to enhance makeup but I cannot edit away makeup that was put on too heavily.

It is not required that you have professional makeup done by any means but in the past, I have had some clients do that and it truly does make such a difference in photos! I highly recommend Dana Michele Makeup & Aesthetics for a super natural look if you are interested!!

Guys -- bring your favorite couple pairs of jeans/pants and multiple shirts (if you have booked a full senior experience), some casual and some dressier. Pay attention to your shoes and socks, sometimes socks will show a little bit in crouching or bent leg images. Anything else that is ‘your style’ bring it along too! Cars, sunglasses, instruments and sports equipment are some examples.

 

LOCATIONS, PROPS & WHAT TO BRING ALONG

I have many location options that I use and can suggest some places you may like. Feel free to tell me what you are looking for in your images and I can show you examples so we can choose the perfect settings for you.

If you have booked the full experience most seniors choose to do 1 urban location & 1 more park/nature feeling location. When choosing your 2 locations keep in mind the distance they are from each other. While I do build in a little buffer time for clothing changes and travel between locations, overall this time does apply to your session time.

Bring your car, bring your musical instrument, dance & sports gear or even just extra hats and sunglasses! 

Don't forget to bring along a brush or comb so we can fix flyaways as needed. And feel free to bring along anything extra you think you might need - I have a wagon to help haul all of our stuff.

 

YEARBOOK

All Senior Sessions include the submittal of the yearbook photo, free of charge. I will need to know what your school's requirements are regarding the yearbook photo. Please let me know before your session what the background requirements are, where to send the photo, and what to send: an actual print, a digital file, etc....and the size. I will also need to know the deadline for submitting the photo. If your school requires a neutral studio backdrop please let me know in advance.
