While it is not required, (we want you to look like you!) you can certainly pamper yourself by getting your hair styled and makeup done before the session. Makeup should be natural. Men should plan to get a haircut the week before the session.

At least two weeks before your session, you’ll receive a questionnaire to complete. This will help me not only get to know you better but create a customized session for you!
 At the session, you can expect to relax and have fun while I guide you through fun poses that feel natural.

Parents do not have to be there for your session. It is totally up to you! If your mom or dad decide to come to your senior session, they are welcome to step in for a shot or two!

You are welcome to bring your pet for a few shots depending on location. Be sure to have someone who is able to handle the pet for the bulk of the session, since this time is all about you!

Just relax and have fun! We will create some beautiful images!

My portrait sessions usually last about 1 hour. Headshots are up to 30 minutes.

To keep things simplified, I generally like to stick to my studio or one of Raleigh’s beautiful parks! We can get a variety of images with simple backdrops. Let’s make the most of our time together by focusing on creating beautiful photos instead of traveling place to place.

Each session allows for two or three outfits if you want.

About a week after your session, you’ll receive a gallery of the images from your session to view! From there, you are able to select and order the images and share the gallery with your friends and family. 

Once the order is placed, you will receive your beautiful prints from my lab to your door in two weeks. (or less!)

Decide on a palette of 3-4 colors to base your outfit on (including both pants and dresses). If you need ideas, my Pinterest board or this post on 7 Tips on What to Wear to a Photo Session might give you some inspiration.
