Senior Portraits
CAPTURING pivotal moments
Being a high school senior is a very exciting time in our life. You’ve worked hard to get to this moment and a professional photography session is a great way to capture this important milestone and celebrate your accomplishments.
I specialize in creating beautiful portraits that you and your family will enjoy for years to come. I understand that each senior is unique and I will work with you to create a session that captures your interests and style. My sessions are tailored to fit your specific needs, whether you’re looking for a traditional portrait session or a more creative and unique experience.
The Process
I use natural light and/or professional lighting equipment on-location to create beautiful, timeless images that will be enjoyed for years to come. I also offer studio senor portrait sessions for more formal images. I will help you relax and enjoy the experience to create beautiful photographs that you and your family will cherish.
I provide a variety of services including on-location photoshoots, indoor studio sessions, and professional retouching and editing, custom packages, and professional prints and albums. From the planning stages to the viewing of your images, I want you to have a great experience and enjoy the results. I am committed to delivering exceptional quality and customer service.
A pre-session consultation is highly encouraged and may be scheduled as a 15-minute phone call or Zoom meeting to discuss the style of senior photos you are interested in and what to expect during the session. If you have special high school activities, interests, or any specific vision for your photos, this is a great opportunity to discuss how we can achieve those.
If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to capturing your special senior memories.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Studio sessions include a real time review of unedited images that are tethered directly from the camera to a computer monitor.
Studio sessions include a choice of standard medium to dark grey, black or white backgrounds, with the option of adding textures or other colors in post processing upon request.
Professional editing and retouching to include subtle adjustments to remove stray hairs, reduce dark shadows under eyes, whitening teeth and removing blemishes. If requested, further editing may be used to smooth wrinkles on skin, brighten eyes and reduce wrinkles on clothing.
A pre-session consultation as described above.
A fun and relaxed professional senior photography session using high quality cameras, lenses, lighting gear, backgrounds, and other accessories.
Outdoor sessions will be scheduled at a location of your choice and will include the use of natural light or professional lighting gear, or a combination of both.
-
You may choose your wardrobe for the photo session. If you participate in any sports, cheerleading or other activities that have uniforms, please feel to bring those along with other clothing you may wish to wear.
I generally recommend clothing that is complimentary with your skin tones, hair and eye colors. Clothing should be clean and free of wrinkles (although some wrinkles may be removed in post processing). Avoid clothing with busy patterns or strong colors that would distract from your face.
Avoid wearing the same color as your preferred background for indoor studio photos.
If possible, avoid wearing glasses with transitional lenses or that reflect blue light, as these effects are difficult to remove in post processing.
-
Several days before the photo session, be sure to plan for the day. If you plan to have appointments with a hair stylist or makeup artist, try to allow extra time.
In the two days before the session, plan to get adequate rest and avoid activities that could result in sunburns, chapped lips, dry skin, or red eyes.
Get adequate sleep the night before the session to ensure a well-rested look.
On the morning of the photo session, be sure that you are feeling well and confident. If you will be shaving facial hair, be extra cautious to avoid nicks.
Relax and have fun!
