No worries, when you secure your spot, we will choose a backup "weather day". Additionally, I will have other days blocked on my schedule should you have rain on your backup day as well.

There is a $100 non-refundable retainer fee required to secure your date(s). This is applied to your total due. The remainder is due the day of your session. If you have multiple sessions, it is due the day of your first session. Payment plans are available, however images will not be delivered and editing will not begin until the package has been paid in full.

Depending on the location, you can either use a public restroom (if available), or I will have a portable changing tent with me for you to use.

Some photographers include this for the gals. At this time I do not include it, however I do know local hair and makeup artists who specialize in Seniors and am happy to refer you to them and work with them to coordinate dates for your session. In fact, I highly recommend the gals use a professional hair and makeup artist to look and feel their absolute best - it WILL show in your photos - you will not regret it!

It depends on the season. During busier times, 6-8 weeks. Otherwise, I typically turn around in 2-3 weeks, sometimes sooner. Cap and gown sessions are turned around within 1-2 weeks. September through November is my busiest season, turnaround times will be at minimum 6-12 weeks during these months.

Standard retouching is included for all portraits - blemish removal, skin smoothing, eye enhancement and teeth whitening. Standard editing is included as well - removal of distracting objects (when possible), sky replacement, straightening, cropping. Any extensive editing beyond this will incur an additional fee - I DO retouch quite a bit, but I will not spend an excessive amount of time correcting things in all of your images that could have been fixed prior to your shoot. This includes, but is not limited to, poor choices/application of hair/makeup, wrinkled clothing, pet hair on clothing etc.

No need to panic... I carry a professional grade backup camera body, multiple high-end lenses, additional strobe light, memory cards... you name it! In other words, you do not need to worry about equipment failure as I will always have a backup of everything with me and be back up and running within a matter of minutes :) Whoever you choose as your photographer, make sure they carry a backup of everything. Nothing worse than paying for a professional hair and makeup artist and/or paying a fee to shoot at a location (some locations do require this and it is the responsibility of the client) and having to reschedule because there was an equipment malfunction and no Plan B.

All packages include print release for the number of final images included in your package. That said, I recommend and will only guarantee images printed through the professional lab I personally use. I also extend special pricing to anyone who purchases a package from me, so you are able to get beautiful prints from a pro lab at a very affordable cost.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you were looking for, and if it's something I'm able to accommodate I'm happy to provide you with a custom quote!

I currently offer a 10% cash pay discount! Other discounts may be offered periodically.

The short and easy answer is - whoever YOU want! Anyone who makes you comfortable and who you can be yourself around and makes you feel good about yourself is a great choice! Whether that's mom, sister, dad, brother, grandma, aunt, cousin, a friend or two... totally up to you. It's really all about what will make you feel best that day. The catch - only you will be photographed, and if you are under 18 you must have a parent/guardian with you :)

All of my senior sessions are priced for one individual, session time sharing is not permitted.

YES! Everyone who knows me, knows my favorite images to capture, are sports. If you play multiple sports, I recommend the add-on sessions so we can shoot those images during the corresponding sport season. We can mix up and do some in uniform, and some out of uniform. Did I mention I love photographing sports and athletic images?

Of course, this is something we can do. The caveat is, if we need access (i.e. football field, inside school, inside gymnasium, inside locker room, you get the idea) it is the responsibility of the client to obtain the necessary access/permission prior to the shoot.

If my schedule permits, yes! Additional travel fee does apply.

There are SO MANY amazing Photographers in the area... it's a tough choice to make. Ultimately, you should choose someone whose photographic style you most prefer, and who makes you feel comfortable, but also has packages that suit your needs. Being a mother myself, I have strived to offer packages for various budgets and needs, while remaining competitive and also being fair to myself and the quality of images I deliver. It's really just about what you (and your parents) want.

The short answer, it depends on which package you select. Your primary limitation is time. Shorter sessions don't allow time for multiple outfit changes and my packages reflect that. Keep this in mind when selecting the package that would best suit you!

No, it does not. I've recently updated my packages to be based on two things - shooting time and number of locations. Shooting time at each location begins when I start shooting and ends when we return to our vehicles. Any outfit changes on location are counted in your shooting time. Travel time between two locations does not count as shooting time. For example, you choose a package with two locations and choose your High School and Downtown. Your time will be split between the two locations as you choose, but travel time from one to another does not count towards shooting time. If you get a 90 minute package and choose to use 30 minutes at one location and 60 minutes at another, that is how much time you'll have at each location for shooting and outfit changes.
