welcome Hel lo t here, friend! Time will never stand still. As much as we wish it would. We want the best moments to linger just a little bit longer. Everyday it seems the world is moving a little faster than the last. One of the biggest adventures of your life is about to begin. It’s never too early to make plans to capture the excitement of your senior year. I hope this welcome guide will help answer any questions you might have about your senior session. I believe that creating a personal connection with my seniors helps them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love photographing all types of portraits on location and in beautiful, natural-lighting. Every senior is unique and I love seeing each client’s personality come to life in thier session. As Ansel Adams said, “You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved”. I hope sharing a little bit about myself will help you get to know me before our session. Enjoy!

xo,

Jeannine


my loves 1. My husband - Chris is my biggest supporter. He is also my high school sweetheart. I am terrible with grammar and funny enough, we met in english class! He has been spell-checking my writing ever since! That’s love. :) 2. My fur baby - After being married for 3 years, we increased our family by four paws! Bo Bonadio, in all his golden glory, became our fur child. I work hard so he can have all the milk bones his heart desires. His favorite things are catching frisbee, riding in the car and taking a swim! 3. Our Travels - While studying abroad in Rome, I realized photography was my passion. I dream of one day shooting a destination wedding in Italy and opening a Bed & Breakfast in Tuscany. #havecamerawilltravel 4. Coffee, all of the coffee - We currently own 2 french presses, a Nespresso, a Keurig, a Chemex, and a Bialetti Espresso maker. As a couple, we really enjoy visiting all of the neighborhood coffee shops Pittsburgh has to offer! During our trip to Italy, we drank 48 espressos! #caffineismyfriend

Q+A


Session FAQ s YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. LET’S GET SOME ANSWERS.

Q : W H AT S H O U LD W E D O TO P R EPA R E FO R T H E S ESS I O N? A: For the ladies, I highly recommend having your hair and makeup professionally done. Not OVER DONE, but enough to highlight your best features. Makeup artists are specially trained to know what makeup will photograph best. I can give you some recommendations or you can book at your local Ulta or Sephora. For Ladies + Gents, getting a haircut and nails nicely manicured is also suggested. Pamper yourself - you only have senior portraits taken once! Q : D O YO U ED I T A L L O F T H E P H OTO S? A: Every photo you receive will be color corrected and edited to the style you see on my website, blog, etc. Please mention early in the booking process if retouching skin is needed. Additional retouching/ Photoshop editing may require an additional charge. Q : W H E R E S H O U L D W E G ET O U R I M A G ES P R I N T ED? A: I highly recommend using your online gallery to print. Orders will be fulfilled with a professional print lab which has been calibrated to my monitor. The lab uses archival papers + inks with superior product quality. However, I love Artifact Uprising as a second option! I do not recommend Walmart, Target, Costco, SAMs or other big box stores. Price list at the end of this guide. Q : H OW M A N Y O U T FI T C H A N G ES D O I G ET? A: As many different outfits as you can fit within the time frame! A good rule of thumb is one outfit per 3o minutes. I also suggest changing styles, for example - 1 boho, 1 glam, 1 high school activity, and 1 causual. Q : W H AT S H O U L D I B R I N G W I T H M E? A: Along with your outfits, I would bring items for hair and makeup touch ups. Other items to consider are accessories that make you unique: floppy hat, beanie, letterman jacket, ballet shoes, flower crown, favorite book, etc. Q : CA N I U S E O N E O F T H ES E FO R T H E Y EA R B O O K ? A: Maybe. You will need to check the requirements that your school has for the yearbook. Most times there is an official yearbook photographer who comes to the school to set up a to set up a studio for school approved pictures. I do not do studio work. Q : I G E T N E RV O U S A B O U T B EI N G I N FRO N T O F T H E CA M ER A , A N Y A DV I C E? A: Relax! If you’re relaxed, it’ll come through in your photos. I will guide you into poses but just have fun! Showcase your personality!



Q : W H AT I F I T R A I N S O N M Y DAT E? A: I will watch the weather closely as your session approaches. In the event of rain, we will reschedule for the next available date. I try to get you on the calendar ASAP but the weather can be unpredictable. Q : CA N I B R I N G M Y PA R EN TS O R A FR I EN D? A: Of course! I encourage you to bring someone that will help you relax and have fun. In fact, if you’re under 18, I insist that you bring at least one parent. You may want to warn your guest because I often enlist parents/friends/siblings in holding reflectors or acting goofy behind me. Q : H OW LO N G B EFO R E I CA N S EE M Y I M A G ES? A: My standard turnaround is 1-2 weeks. Summer and fall months may get busier with other obligations so I will notify you in advance if that time frame is longer. Q: W H AT D O E S "C O PY R I G H T" M E A N A N D W H AT A M I A L L OW ED TO D O W I T H M Y P H O T O S? A: The copyright is different from your print release because it protects my “orginal works of authorship”. Meaning you cannot alter or edit, claim these as your own work, sell or use these images for personal gain, including contests, without my expressed permission. If you have questions just ask! Q : W I LL W E G E T T H E P R I N T R EL EAS E TO O U R P H OTO S? A: Yes! Upon receieving your images, you will also get a full print release and cropping guide. The print release gives you permission to print unlimted copies for personal use only. You can use them to create graduation annoucements and invitations! Q : Y E A H, B U T W H AT A B O U T FA C EB O O K O R I N STA G R A M? A: Facebook is an awesome place to share photos! Please feel free to use any photos I put on Facebook (I’ll tag you in sneak peeks) for your profile picture or wall. I just ask that you tag my business page when sharing, don’t add filters and don’t crop out my watermark. Just make sure we are friends and you have liked my business page!
