How much will portraits cost?
The portrait session and final images that you select is entirely dependent on you. We know everyone works with a budget. We understand that the session type that you choose is dependent on your individual style and tastes, and that each person’s image needs vary. Depending on the session that you choose, you will have 20-40 images to select from at your showcase ordering appointment.
We have both digital and portrait art options to select from. You will view and choose your portrait products the day of your showcase appointment at which all decision makers NEEDS to be present. Some minimums apply.
Do you photograph guys senior portraits?
Absolutely! Erika is a 'Boy Mom' so she just gets it. We love showing off the individual style of our guys, whatever it may be – fashion, sports, musical, urban, skateboarding, techy, whatever your style is we love to focus on having fun and showing off YOUR individual style.
Do I have to come in for a consultation? Can’t I just book a session over the phone?
While we don’t require an in-person consultation, we do highly recommend it if you are new to our studio. This way we can show you the studio, examples of our portrait art, and work with you one on one to select the perfect seniors by e session for your once-in-a-lifetime experience and get a session plan in place.
However, if scheduling is difficult for a studio consultation, we can go over everything you need to know over the phone with a quick 15 minute consultation. We want to ensure that your senior portrait session is everything you want and more, and we strive to make this experience one that you will never forget.
Do you photograph sessions in your studio or on location?
Both! While our specialty is vibrant, in-studio portraiture, we also photograph seniors on location – from urban settings to vintage fields to custom locations, we create the senior experience that YOU want.
In our portrait studio we photograph indoors with fashion studio lighting – we want to make sure you have a variety of looks to show off your individual style. On location we also photograph with numerous location lighting techniques – from fashion lighting to natural light and more. Photography is the art of ‘painting with light,’ and our goal is to make you look incredible!
How many outfits can I bring?
As MANY as you like! Our sessions are based more on time, NOT on the number of outfits you are limited to. In general, we can typically photograph 4 outfits per hour, however this is entirely dependent on you. The more time you spend getting ready between outfits, the fewer outfits we will get to, and vice versa.
We encourage you to bring LOTS of options and accessories – we will assist you in selecting the best variety of looks to make your senior portrait session the best experience it can be.
How long do you keep my image files?
Non-ordered images are removed from our system following your ordering appointment – we do not archive files which are not ordered. All ordered images are archived for a period of 1 year.
I want to wear my hair two different ways – can I do that at my session?
Of course! Mix it up as much as you want, just remember time is of the essence.
We LOVE variety and love to show off your multiple styles.
Do you photograph yearbook headshots?
Check your school’s guidelines for yearbook headshots. If you are allowed to select your own image to submit from your senior portrait session, then we can photograph any type of image that you would like for your yearbook. We will then submit your image when and where you direct us to send your chosen image.
