Seniors
They made it! Let's celebrate!!!
You can be ensured that you are in great hands. I love getting to know my seniors.
I love getting to know their personality and hearing all about what their upcoming plans are. This session is all
about your senior and their end and soon to be new chapter in their life's.
I like to make it as fun as I can for them. I do some special things for all the seniors that come my way. One fun thing I do is that I have a changing ten that I have ever senior sign with their name, yr and school so they can see everyone that has came to me for photos. Maybe they will see someones name that they know also.
These photos sessions can be taken year round
(All outdoor session will take place during the 'Golden Hour' 1.5-2 hours before the sunsets/sunrise)

1) You want to book!
Once I receive your inquiry, I will email you back to set ups a date to get your
session booked. Once you finalize your
session and confirm your booking I will send over a contract and senior questionnaire. The senior questionnaire is so I can get some general information about you and your senior. I love to get to know who you are right away! This will be sent out right after I get you in the books
2) Let the fun begin!
This is when you and your senior can start thinking of what outfits to wear, props, and other fun things. When it gets closer to your session, I will then send you a location questionnaire of locations to pick from or if you have a location in mind. you can let me know. I love finding new locations and trying new this. The only thing I ask for is that make sure your location you have in mind that is not on the list I send you it has some shad. Photographers love shad.
3)Yay! Things are getting closer!
The final details will be discussed via a text messaging or email (usually 1 week prior and a couple day before). The reason for this is to help clarify date, time, maybe some things you put into your questionnaires or if you have any other questions that came up but forgot to ask.
Oh, and I also will be keeping my eye on the weather and keep you posted on it.
Let's
face it we live in MN and the weather can change in a minute
4)The big day is finally here!!
I will text and make sure we are still on, and nothing came up. My goal is to have this day easy-going and fun! I want you and your senior feeling comfortable as possible like we have been friends for a long time. Don’t worry, I will pose you (aka I will module the poses to do) and help guide you through the entire session. I will be there to capture who YOU are and to create some fun memories to look back on.
5) Delivery day!!
You will see a social media sneak peek of your session within 1 week of your session. 3-4 weeks after your session you will get your online gallery to view. I will also text or message you on FB, on the phone, or wherever you found me that I have sent you your gallery just to make sure you are keeping your eyes open for it. I don't want you to just look past it and delete it. The best part is you then have time to purchase any prints through your online gallery, so you don’t have to leave your house. It gets shipped right to you. Also don’t worry I am still here if you need help with anything.

FAQ:
When will we receive our photos?
You will receive all your photos you are getting between 4 to 5 weeks after your session. There will be a sneak peek within a week after your session.
Where do I change outfits if we are doing an outside session?
Good one. I have a special portable changing tent you can use. It is cleaned after ever session on the inside. On the outside of it I will have you sign it with your name and year you are graduating if you like. This is just for something fun to do and for other classmates and the future classmates can see it.
How far in advance should we book?
I generally start taking deposits for senior sessions in May, but you’re welcome to reserve your spot earlier. August and September are the busiest months for senior portraits, and October sometimes fills up as well. Earlier bookings will have first pick on dates. If you want to schedule your session with enough time to turn in a yearbook portrait, I recommend that you get booked and you pay your session fee as early as May.
I take a limited commission of 10 seniors per year, so the further out you book, the more likely you’ll get a spot.
What happens after I book with you?
I want to make sure your senior session is about you. That includes the things you’re passionate about. I will send you a questionnaire after you book so I can get to know you more and that is when will talk about the types of photos you want and how to incorporate your personality and interest. This often determines the session location and props, such as instruments or sports equipment. Also, if you have a horse, car or truck or a sailboat.... We can definitely do something with that too
How do I share my photos with social media, family, and friends?
You can share with your family, friends and social media via email or you will also receive an app on your phone with your gallery where it makes it easy to share with your friends, family, and social media.
Can I bring my dog (or my family...I guess)?
Of course! I am always happy to sneak in a pet or family photo during a senior session.
Hours of operation?
I also work in the medical field during the day Monday throw Friday. If you are interested in doing a session during the week, I am available after 430pm the best time to do session is 1-2 hours before the sunset or before sunrise. I do not have a studio. I only do outside locations as of now.
You will receive all your photos you are getting between 4 to 5 weeks after your session. There will be a sneak peek within a we
You can do senior sessions year-round. Most of my senior sessions take place in august to October. To get those fall colors you need more of an October session. However, the sky is the limit. I love off-beat session ideas, so I’m happy to work with you to create a memorable experience, even if that means trudging through snow. If you want a finished image to submit for a yearbook photo, you should plan your session no later than October 15th depending on your school’s deadline. (Every school is different)
What if the weather sucks or we need to reschedule?
We can’t control the weather (wouldn’t that be fun), so I generally allow reschedules for weather conditions that make producing great portraits hard. This can include to cloudy days, heavy rain, extreme temperatures, or humidity, and sever weather warnings. I also accommodate rescheduling for emergencies and illness. No one wants to take senior portraits when they’re sick. Please try to give me as much advance notice as you can. During our initial planning in the first week after booking, you can move your date and time as my schedule allows. The further in advance you book, the more flexibility we’ll have.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes. It’s always fun to have a friend there to laugh at. Lol. You can bring them along. Please let me know in advance so I can plan for it and if there is time at the end of your session, we can always sneak in some bff photo.
Can I print my own images?
If you purchase digital images, which come with printing permission, you can absolutely print your own images. There’s an overwhelming sea of printing companies to choose from. Some of them are good and some are not that good. I recommend the lab I use for the best quality. You will get a link to an online gallery in an email with your photos where you can print your images at that lab. I also offer other curated line of prints, albums and wall displays that will blow your mind.
How many photos do I get with the final delivery?
Depending on the type of package you booked. You will get ALL edited images in your gallery. Then you will be a able to pick the amount of photo you got with your package from your hole online gallery to download. So, for example if you pick the senior package #1 you get 20 images. You will receive more than 20 in your gallery and you will be able to pick out 20 images that you like. If you like more than the 20 there is an option to order all edited images.
What else should I bring?
I want to make your senior session about you. That includes the things you’re passionate about. I will send you a questionnaire after you book so I can get to know you more and that is when we’ll talk about the types of photos you want and how to incorporate your personality and interests. This often determines the session location and props, such as instrument or sports equipment. Also, if you have a horse, car or truck or a sailboat…we should definitely do something with that too.
What is the cancellation policy?
Life happens, especially with little ones and I understand that rescheduling is at times unavoidable. Sessions may be rescheduled, preferably 48 hours prior to the session time. Contact me to discuss options, I do my best to accommodate. There are no refunds offered on session fees. If you pay anything else after your session fee and must cancelled without reschedule the session fee is still not refundable but any additional payments will be returned if cancelled before 24 hours of session.
