Senior Portraits – Info

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS FOR SENIOR SESSIONS
I photograph all senior sessions between October – April. Once the crazy heat of summer is past, we are ready to go out on location! So go ahead and get your yearbook portrait taken in the studio contracted by your high school, then give me a call to create images that are all about you!

Before each session I need to find out about you. We will do a consultation call to find out what is it about my portraits that you like, what are you into and how do you want to express that in your portraits? What are your expectations of the session, what are your parents expectations? We will talk about locations, wardrobe, hair, make-up … everything you will need to prepare for the session.

My goal is to create a session that is a customized experience just for you … not a rushed “cookie cutter” routine.

Senior sessions are all done on location. I work all around the city … urban, desert, garden and will select the locations based on what you like. Plan on spending at least an hour, but keep in mind that we can go longer, again it’s up to you. There is no limit on locations or clothing changes. Lighting is key and the best light is just before sunset, so all sessions are done in the late afternoon to capture that magic light!

Session fees start at $100 and a deposit is required to reserve a space on my calender. After your session I will create a private, on-line gallery of your images. You will use this gallery to review your images and are welcome to share the link with friends and family for up to 2 weeks. All images are given an artist touch to smooth skin and each portrait is enhanced to create true works of art. After you have reviewed the images at home you can place your order online or come to my residential studio to make your final selections. Print packages start at $200 and all packages include at least one file to post on your favorite network. Your finished photographs will be ready in 4-6 weeks. In addition to assorted prints I offer image videos that can be enjoyed on the big screen or uploaded to your Myspace, Facebook and other online networks. I also create graduation announcements, coffee table books, handbags and more. Please contact me for more information regarding orders and be sure to ask about my special offer for seniors!
