Mom, we’re in this together

There’s always a moment, or several, during every session when I see a mom out of the corner of my eye staring at her child. In that moment, I realize they are looking at their child wondering how they are a senior already.

“Wasn’t I just waking up in the middle of the night to feed them? Weren’t they just three years old needing help tying their shoes? Were they not just waiting for my hand to cross the street? Didn’t they just learn how to ride a bike without training wheels? Where did the time go?”

This isn’t just your child’s senior year, it’s yours too! It’s an emotional roller coaster, but we’re going to guide you through this portion of it and make it as seamless as possible. We’ll make sure you have the most incredible portraits on your wall and in a photo album by the end of this process! When they leave, you’ll still have something to hold on to and look at when you miss them.

How do I book?

Click below to book a consult.

  • The consult is a phone call with both the parent and senior. The purpose is to really get to know each other and discuss your vision for your senior portraits. We will talk about locations, your hobbies and sports, props, our process and what to expect, and anything else that is important to you. If we are a good fit, we will set a date on the calendar!

  • This is where the real fun begins! We go over outfits, accessories, shoes, hair and makeup. We’ll organize your outfits to coordinate with the locations and make sure you have everything you need to get a variety of incredible looks. We can do this over text or Zoom/FaceTime.

    Good news! You can have as many outfits as you’d like!!

  • The big day is finally here! We’ll double check that you have everything packed from shoes to proper undergarments. We always encourage you to bring your best friend, and we’ll begin shooting at our first location. At the end, we’ll say “just one more shot” about a dozen times before we wrap up your session. After your session, we’ll meet at a local coffee shop to select all your images.

  • While you grab a bite to eat, we’ll organize your photos for you to go through and choose your favorites! You will be presented with the photos we just took and pick out all of your digital images. You’ll also get to choose everything from wall art to photo albums, speciality boxes to gift prints and even more digitals. Mom, there’s usually some tears at the Session Premier. Just know, when your senior has left home, you will still have a beautiful piece of them at home with you. You’ll have something to look at to remind you of them everyday! This moment is why we do what we do.

  • Once all your images have been edited and retouched, you’ll be sent a link with all your digital images. From the link, you can download and share all your favorite photos! Your products will also be sent for print, and when they’re ready, they will be delivered directly to you!
