SENIORS

Hello! I am so excited that you have chosen me to be your senior photographer! We are going to have an absolute blast at your senior portrait session, and I can’t wait. When I had my senior pictures done, I went with the studio contracted with my high school. I didn’t have a lot of choice over how it went and that definitely showed in my pictures. They looked like the rest of my friends’ pictures and weren’t very special. I hope to give you an experience of a lifetime for your senior pictures. This Welcome Packet is all about the Senior photography experience with Alanna Rose Photography, and yes.... it is an experience! So pull up a chair, and get ready to check out all that I have to offer. Make sure that your parents also have a chance to check this out so that they too, can get on board. Once you have read this cover to cover, give me a call or contact the studio to set up your custom session consultation. We can be reached at (205) 403-7984 or at www.alannarosephotography.com Again, if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

How do I get started?

To get started you can call the studio at 205-403-7984 or email us through our website: www.alannarosephotography.com. From there we will book your personal consultation so we can discuss the details of your shoot.

How long will the shoot take? The shoot will take 2-3 hours, and trust me, you will be exhausted by the time we are done! Your hair and makeup will take approximately an hour and a half from start to finish. Be sure to have enough time in your schedule to enjoy the complete experience.

Do I need to bring my own wardrobe? Yes, but we will help you with styling, and we offer several exclusive discounts through our vendor partners. We love being a part of your styling decisions, so you will also have the opportunity to show us what you are thinking before your shoot.

What is your editing process? I digitally retouch every single image. I will enhance your photos as needed with color and lighting correction, exposure adjustments, skin smoothing, blemish removal and anything else I see that needs to be done.

Can I order prints? Of Course! You will have the opportunity to order prints, canvasses, albums, and digital images at your premier ordering session. We will help you lay out your favorite images and pick the products that best suit your style.

PICTURE your STYLE Ordering Session When it is time to view your photos, you can come to the studio and view them in person with me right by your side. That way you can ask any questions you want and I can suggest options that suit your style. You can also hold and touch all of the products we have to offer and you will know exactly what you are ordering.
