Senior photos are meant to take place the summer before your senior year or the fall/winter during your senior year. For example, if you are wrapping up your junior year and you would like a summer session, you would book your summer session with me in February or after the semester ends. I do have clients wait to book with me until they graduate to get their photos done as well. Those clients tend to be the ones who do not plan on using those photos for graduation parties so they are in no rush. If you do plan on using your photos for a grad party or a certain occasion, you would want to keep this in mind when booking your session and consider booking before your senior year (I do also have expedited editing ad ons if needed so I wouldn’t stress if you missed your window).

I would book your session at least one month in advance at the latest. I suggest 1 to 2 months in advance, but as long as you reach out to book your session one month before the date you are eyeing, typically, you will be okay. Just know, it is never too early to get your session date booked and to start planning the details.

The gold package tends to be my most popular package amongst my clientele. It offers up to 3 outfits and offers more location variety. I have been told that this package offers the perfect amount of photos and photo options as well.

Yes, I am completely fine with parents taking photos (using their phone) of their child getting their pictures taken. I just ask that they try to make it behind the scenes photos and not just a photo of you how I posed you (so I would be in the image as I am taking your photos). I love behind the scenes photos so feel free to send those to me so I can share them on my social media accounts!

Please refrain from any behind the scenes videos as this can cause distractions and I prefer to keep my process and experience between me and the client. It also helps keep interactions genuine and everything running smoothly.

Planning on bringing a parent or guardian along? That is okay, I encourage it! I love that they want to share this moment with you! I just ask that they please keep a distance when we are shooting to avoid any disruption or distractions. Please refrain from any adjustments of any kind. This is very important as disruptions or interferences can affect the flow of the session as a whole, the time frame, and the outcome of your photos. If there are any requests, please let me know at the beginning of the shoot.

That being said, not everyone is comfortable or able to be themselves with others watching while we work together so if you do not want to bring someone that is okay. They can even tag along and stay in the car or go off to a place near by. My assistance will be there to help carry items if you do choose to come on your own so no worries there!

As some locations limit the number of guests we bring, I also ask that you only have one person come with you on the shoot. This helps keep everything running smoothly as well!

If your session is showing a possibility of bad weather, I will reach out at least 3 days before your session to give a warning that your session is at risk for reschedule and then I will reach out to you the day before you session to talk over your options. I prefer to wait until the morning of to decide if we need to reschedule as the weather is constantly changing, but if you have hair/makeup appointments booked, I allow a reschedule a day in advance.

Unfortunately, I do not offer splitting sessions. For example, if you are wanting photos during one season, as well as another. You would be booking 2 separate sessions.

Yes, I understand that having 2 seniors at once can be a bit stressful on your wallets. Do not worry, I have packages for you to take away some of that stress. Reach out to me personally about the details on these sessions.

Depending on your request, I do travel! For example, if you are graduating from Purdue University in Lafayette you can have a session there on campus! If you are requesting a shoot that requires travel, it would be the largest package for that session type + a travel fee ($1 per mileage driven after an hour + other fees may apply). I would provide you the details once we talk over your request!

Mini session packages, backdrop sessions, & headshots do not qualify.

My 'Platinum' packages are my only packages that allow multiple locations. I typically recommend locations to be 15 to 20 minutes away from each other, but 30 minutes is doable. If the locations you are interested in are more than 20 minutes away from each other, a travel fee will be included.

If the locations are more than 30 minutes apart from each other, you are going to be leaning towards my new 'Double Platinum' package that is now offered for cases like this. This may not always be the case so please be sure to reach out to me for details.

Yes! As this has become a common question for my upcoming seniors, I now offer the 'Double Platinum' package for those who are looking for a more extensive session experience.

The price varies upon location distance so that is why you see that this is the only package I offer that has two prices listed in the details.
