Questions

Many seniors book 6–12 months in advance — especially for popular seasons or specific months. Booking early gives us the best chance to secure your ideal date and time to thoughtfully plan every detail.

If you’re 1-3 months out, don’t stress — reach out and I’ll always do my best to fit you in.

We schedule sessions around golden hours — that magical time when the light is soft, warm, and incredibly flattering.

Most sessions begin in the late afternoon and continue through sunset so we can capture that dreamy, glowing light.

1. How far in advance should I book my senior session?

2. How long does a typical senior session last?

It depends on the package you choose. Sessions range from 30 minutes to 3 hours of shooting time, depending on the level of experience you want.

If your session includes professional hair and makeup, we’ll build in about 2 extra hours beforehand so you feel fully pampered and confident. Most mid- to full-length sessions begin prep around 2–3 PM, with shooting starting between 4–5 PM.

3. When during the day are sessions scheduled?

Yes — this is your moment.

Half sessions are perfect for one standout look. Session ONE 2-3, For Sessions TWO, THREE & FOUR I recommend 2–5 outfits to reflect different sides of who you are.

I monitor the forecast closely leading up to your session. Experience has taught me that weather changes fast, so I wait to make the call until we truly need to.

If the skies don’t cooperate, we’ll reschedule within a week or two at no additional cost.

I’ll always protect your experience — and your date — as best I can.

5. Can I bring multiple outfits or props?

6. What happens if it rains?

Keep going

4. I booked my date — how do I tell you everything I’m envisioning?

Yesss — this is where the fun begins.

After booking, you’ll receive my SSSS (Senior Session Style Survey). This is where you can share all your ideas — outfits, vibes, locations, inspo photos, music, personality notes… everything.

The best part? You can save it and update it anytime. As you find new outfits or your vision evolves, just add to it.

I review your SSSS before your session so we’re fully aligned — and so your photos feel completely, intentionally you.

7. How and when will I receive my photos?

Your fully edited gallery is delivered within 2–3 weeks.

You’ll receive an online gallery where you can download, share, and order professional-quality prints directly.

8. I’m awkward in front of the camera — will you help me pose?

Absolutely. Almost everyone says this at first.

I guide you with natural prompts so nothing feels stiff or forced. By the end of your session, it feels relaxed and fun — and you’ll look like the best version of yourself, not a posed version of someone else.

My goal is for you to feel seen and confident in this season of life.

9. Can I bring my mom or dad?

Yes — and I encourage it!

Having a parent there often makes the experience even more special. It becomes a bonding memory, not just a photoshoot. Plus, we can capture a few meaningful parent-senior images too.

10. Do you help with outfit planning?

Yes! After booking, you’ll receive a detailed styling guide with inspiration and tips. I’m also happy to review outfit options and give feedback so you feel confident and totally yourself.

11. What if I don’t know where I want my photos taken?

I’ve created a curated location guide with some of my favorite senior-friendly spots, but honestly? Our conversation is the real secret sauce.

When you tell me what you love — your vibe or the feeling — I picture places.

As your session gets closer, I revisit your SSSS to see if your ideas have evolved, and we tweak.

Bottom line: we’ll find a spot that feels completely like you.

12. Do you offer professional prints or albums?

Yes! Packages 3 and 4 include professional print products, but they can be added to any session.

After your gallery is delivered, we’ll schedule a design appointment where we create albums, wall art, or keepsakes together. You can also order directly through your gallery.

These products are designed to last for generations — not just live on a phone screen.

13. What kind of editing style can I expect?

My signature style is bright, true-to-color, and warm.

However, I love collaborating. If you’re drawn to a light and airy look — or have inspiration you love — we can absolutely talk about it and create something that feels right for you.
