CAN I BRING FRIENDS TO MY SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSION?
Of course! In fact, we will reduce the cost of the session for each person who tags along for senior portraits. Bring a friend and the session fee is reduced to $225 for each of you! Bringing friends along is a fun way to make your senior portrait session special.



You don’t necessarily need to “dress up” for your senior portrait session. The best images are usually captured when you wear clothing that you are comfortable in and matches your unique style. We recommend trying to keep things simple by picking solid colors and coordinating your wardrobe as much as possible. Avoid busy patterns, bright colors, or logos and consider bringing along several different clothing changes. Adding or removing a jacket, changing into different shoes, or putting on a different shirt can change your outfit just enough to make it appear that you are wearing an entirely different wardrobe. Also be sure that your clothing is clean and free of wrinkles.


Of course! Senior portrait sessions take place in grungy alleys, around old buildings, and in beautiful outdoor locations! We specialize in creating stunning images that match your personality and style. Tell us about your favorite spot or pick one of ours. A recommend list of locations can be found here.





We would be glad to come to your home if you wish!

You bet! Several area high schools require students to provide a yearbook photo. We would be glad to retouch your favorite photograph from your portrait session and send it to your high school for the yearbook.


We make your images available for viewing and sharing with friends and family online within a week of the session. Printed proofs are usually ready within two weeks of your order being placed – oftentimes sooner.
