HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Kick things off with a quick call so that you can get to know me and ask all your questions.  

 STEP TWO

Let the fun begin! Your session is designed just for you. This is your time to shine so just be yourself! Worried you won't know what to wear? After booking you will be sent my 25 page Planning Guide to answer ALL your questions. I update this every year with even more content from my past clients - it just keeps getting better and better. Worried you won't know what to do? I have your back! With over 20 years of experience photographing people I will make sure you not only look great but feel great too. No stupid posing or cheesy looks, I promise!

YOUR SESSION

When your images are ready, we’ll meet for your Image Reveal & Ordering Session. Together, we’ll pick your favorite photos, design wall art for your home, and many clients choose heirloom albums to treasure for a lifetime.

when is the best time of year to take my senior pictures?

WHAT time of day do you photograph?

WHAT IS A pre-consultation?

What is involved in retouching?

do i receive hair & make-up services when booking?

how do i know what to wear?

Inside the Senior Planning Guide you'll find lots of tips on what to wear, what to avoid, places to shop, etc.  I also offer wardrobe assistance.  I'm happy to come to your home (if you live in the Decatur area) or jump on a Facetime call and we can shop your closet.  I can also send online recommendations once I know your style.  I love shopping and happy to help anytime.

I highly recommend professional hair and make-up for a fun and stress free day.  It's also nice to know you are camera ready when your make up is professionally done.  If you are interested in adding hair and make-up, I recommend the ladies at Dali Bliss Salon in Decatur.  

Great question!  June-November or March-April is when I typically photograph seniors.  A couple of things to consider are the type of clothes you like to wear, the weather, type of scenery (fresh spring flowers, golden summer sunsets, warm tones of fall) and your schedule.  Book your session in your off-season if you play sports or have a busy extracurricular schedule.  

After booking your session you'll receive my 25 page Planning Guide with some of my favorite spots to photograph.  Locations are a personal preference and can also be determined by your hobbies.  We'll go to as many different areas within walking distance within a location.

For outdoor sessions, I typically photograph 1-3 hours before sunset.  

The pre-consultation is generally 1-2 weeks before your session.  This is where we get to know each other, discuss goals, talk about products, answer questions, look at outfits and plan locations.  We will work out every little detail so your session is perfect in every way!

Most of my time is spent behind the computer perfecting your images and creating the "wow factor."  Retouching includes adding depth, boosting color, bringing out your eyes, clearing up pesky blemishes, removing background distractions, etc.  I strive for a clean editing style and professional quality in all of your final images, paying careful attention to not overdo it!  

where will i take my pictures?
