Plan on arriving at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment.

2 hours

100-125 photographs

You will see your pictures the same day.

The next business day after 5pm.

Please refer to our gallery of seniors for the various backgrounds and locations.

No. You will select your package when you actually place your order which is a couple of weeks after your photo session.

Please bring a minimum of three outfit changes. The more clothing selections you bring, the more options the photographer has in selecting the best outfit for each background.

Don’t worry since the studio will retouch all your senior previews.

Tanning is fine but not necessary. Remember tan lines will show unless you tan evenly.

No. Wear a hairstyle that you are accustomed to. If you want a new hairstyle then try it prior to your session date to see if you really like it.

Girls should bring lip gloss, mascara, hair brush and preferably 6-8 tops, vary the styles with off the shoulder, polo, button down and three quarter length sleeves. Jeans, light and navy blue, along with capris look great. Shorts and dresses are not recommended.

Guys should shave prior to their appointment. Bring plenty of clothing selection, preferably 6-8 clothing styles such as T-shirts, rugby, polo, crew neck and button down. Jeans, light and navy blue, along with tan shorts, letter jackets and football jerseys look great.

Primary solid colors photograph best such as black, royal blue, red, forest green, mustard yellow, burgundy, navy, pink, purple and white.

Light pastel and neon colors. Avoid t-shirts with busy patterns that will distract from the subject’s face.

You should bring a pair of matching frames or remove your lenses prior to the photo session so you will not have glare from the studio lighting.

The studio will take a variety of pictures of you smiling and not smiling in order to give you a good selection to choose from. The removal of braces from your senior pictures is $45 per pose if requested.
