FAQs

WHEN CAN I BOOK MY SENIOR SESSION?

The best time is at the end of your junior year. I encourage seniors to secure your session with a deposit even if you’re unsure of the date because I only take a limited amount of seniors each year.

WHAT DAYS DO YOU DO SESSIONS? Weekdays; typically early morning or later afternoon. Weekend sessions are extremely limited and may be booked for an additional $100 to your package.

CAN I BOOK TWO DIFFERENT SESSIONS? Yes, you are welcome to book two different session types. These would be shot different days (or times of day). Occasionally senior choose this option if they want a different hair style or different season shots, etc.

CAN WE DO A FAMILY PICTURE AT THE SAME TIME? You are welcome to add a family mini session for $100. This includes either indoor OR outdoor family session and approximately 10-15 family images to your gallery with print release.

WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE? $100 non-refundable retainer is due at booking. The remainder is due at your session.

I accept check, Venmo & PayPal. A 3% fee is added to all credit card payments.

DO I GET ALL THE IMAGES IN MY GALLERY? You can download all the images in your online gallery and make as many prints as you like at a lab of your choice. You are also welcome to order prints through my professional lab directly from your gallery at special pricing. Please note some session packages include print credit from my lab as well.

RETOUCHING

services

BASIC RETOUCHING Is included in all sessions. This includes light skin softening, single / light blemishes, etc.

NOT INCLUDED Eyeglass glare, braces removal, tan lines, sunburn, & moderate to heavy blemishes may incur an additional retouching service based on time.

Please inquire if you have any special concerns.

MAKE-UP If you typically wear make-up, you will want to for your session as well. If you typically do not wear make up, you might want to consider a light make up to even skin tones or some lip gloss to add polish to your look. As always, it’s important to do what makes YOU feel comfortable and reflective of your individual style.
