the experience
These are not your typical "senior pictures" and we are certainly not your typical studio.
You are a true original and we know EXACTLY how to best tell your story.
HERE’S our process:
1. THE CONSULTATION
The in-person consultation is a chance for you to come visit our studio and for us to meet each other face to face. We want to know about you. What's your story? What makes you tick? We want to know your style and what you are looking for. We'll go over locations, dates and can answer any questions you have. If you choose to book with us then the session retainer is required to hold your date.
2. WARDROBE STYLING
Wearing the right clothing and having the perfect accessories is extremely important and can make or break your images. Even though an outfit may look great in person it does not mean it will necessarily photograph well. We know fashion and what works with the locations that we chose together. You'll come back into the studio and we'll dig through the suitcases you brought to put together the perfect outfits for you.
3. HAIR + MAKEUP
Although hair and makeup is an optional step it is something we highly recommend. You don't see a car on the lot at the dealership that isn't polished and we want you to look your best and feel like a superstar during your photo shoot. We work with THE BEST licensed stylists in the area and they know just how to glam you up.
4. THE SHOOT
This is the moment you've been waiting for! Don't be nervous...we'll show you EXACTLY what to do. We are known throughout the industry for our expertise in posing and lighting. I promise this will be a piece of cake. We always have an assistant on the shoot to personally help you. Just come ready to have fun and we'll take care of the rest.
5. SELECT + ORDER
About one week after your session we'll have you come back to the studio to view, select and order your images. We have a simple process to help you choose your favorite images. Forget the nightmare of sitting at home viewing an online gallery frustrated because you can't decide. We are pros at this and will make this headache free. Be sure to bring all of the decision makers along because this is when your order will be placed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q| How much does this all cost?
Well that really all depends. There are a lot of variables and too many moving parts to list here on our website, but we can tell you that the average senior client spends between $575 and $2500. You can get an idea for the sessions we offer HERE and will discuss this with you in detail during your consultation.
Q| Who is Pat and are they a man or woman?
Pat in this case is short for Patrick. Yes we really do get asked this all the time and for those who remember the old SNL skit will understand the struggle.
Q| My son/daughter graduates next year is it too early to book?
We typically book out months in advance and the prime dates really do go quick. Booking a year in advance is fairly common although not required.
Q| How do I become an ambassador for your studio?
Our ambassador team is peer selected by our current group of ambassadors. If this is something you are interested in talk with someone on our team and they can help.
Q| I have twins. Do I need to book 2 separate sessions?

Q| Can we shoot at _________ ?
Probably. We’ve shot in just about every situation and have traveled all over the country for sessions. We’ve even met families for a day at their favorite vacation spot. We love unique locations and ideas so just ask. Some locations do require a permit but we handle all of that as well.
Q| We are divorced. Is there a way we can split this between parents?
Everyone’s family situation is different and we get that. Yes we’ll work with you however you need.
