Behind the Scenes: What to Expect During Your Senior Portrait Session

Curious about what happens during a senior portrait session? In this post, I will take you behind the scenes, detailing the entire process from start to finish. I’ll walk you through how I prepare, and how I ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience. ​

​My senior sessions begin with a pre-session consultation where we talk about locations, time of day for your session, what kind of products you are thinking about getting and we can do a wardrobe consultation! Ask questions, look through my portfolio to see what approach you’d like to see in your session & final prints. If you’ve found great inspiration, bring print-outs or websites along. I am also happy to start a Pinterest board where we can collaborate on ideas for your session!

The second step is the shoot–the day is finally here! My goal is for everyone to have fun, relax and enjoy the process! I will demonstrate poses for your senior and will be checking to make sure hair and outfits are looking great. While most locations have places to change clothes, I also provide a changing tent just in case we don’t have that availability!

The third step is the image reveal. After your session, I will have color-corrected and lightly retouched your images and posted a couple of sneak peeks. About 2 weeks after your session, we’ll meet again to reveal your session images! During the image reveal, we look at what products you have decided on and I help you design your app and/or album (if that is a part of your order). 

​The final step is delivery of the products you have ordered, which I deliver to your door!

Knowing what to expect can help ease any nerves and make your senior’s session something to look forward to!

Summer is winding down and my fall schedule will be limited to weekends–CALL to book your senior session today!
