With your photo shoot coming up, here’s everything you need to know for what to expect from your senior portrait session. Senior portrait sessions are my favorite (that’s why I specialize in them!) and I want to make sure that you feel prepared and ready for your shoot. I recommend booking your session at least a month in advance so that you have time to prepare, go shopping, and have the photo shoot of your dreams!

If you’ve booked a session, we’ll discuss what you envision for your senior portrait session – location ideas, clothing ideas, hair and makeup looks, and everything in between so that you can feel super prepared on the day of your photo shoot.
Once we have spoken and we have a plan of action, it’s your time to get ready! Start pulling outfits from your closet, go shopping, and pull ideas from my Pinterest boards.
Save the hair and makeup looks that you like from my Pinterest boards to your phone to show to your makeup artist.
Be sure to have the right undergarments for your outfits! It’s much easier to wear the right undergarments than try to Photoshop straps out!
Most clients bring between 2 to 5 outfits – usually a mix of casual and dressy looks – I always recommend having at least one outfit that your parent likes (or even chooses)!

Be prepared for your hair and makeup appointment! Whether you’re going to a studio or if the makeup artist is coming to your home, make sure you’re ready. Arrive on time.
Wear a shirt with a large neckhole or a button-down shirt so that it’s easy to change once your hair and makeup is complete.
Have your outfits – tops, bottoms, dresses, layers, accessories – together on hangers. This makes sure you won’t miss a piece of your outfit.
After your hair and makeup is complete, we’ll look over your outfits and choose the order that you’ll change into them.
We will head out to your location and your photo shoot will begin.
I will guide you through posing (that’s my job!) so don’t worry if you don’t know what to do.
Relax and have fun!
Bring extra lip gloss for touch ups.

After your session, I will edit and pick the photos that look the best.
I usually post some social media sneak peeks within 24-48 hours.
A couple of weeks after your session we will meet up so I can deliver your session.
