Hello and Welcome!
If you are here that means you are interested in booking for a 2024 Senior session.
This is an informational page only. The information below will help you decide if I am the right photographer for you and if you will be available during the days and times that I do senior sessions.
You will not be booking from this page. The booking form will be available on Jan. 18th at 6pm.
**If you have any questions after reading through this page, please don't hesitate to message me. I would love to visit with you more about how I can make your senior photo experience a wonderful one!**
My style of photography:
I absolutely love doing senior pictures! Meeting these kids and getting to bring out their best in pictures has become a love of mine. In each session I try to get their personality plus bring in some high end posing and style.
-
I do a lot of farm/country/animal related sessions and that is my lifestyle as well so I am very comfortable with that.
-
I have had many sessions full of the latest fashions and edgy styling which I also adore.
-
I have advanced experience with lighting techniques to get those epic sports shots for you.
-
Don't forget those sunset shots...pretty much my goal for every session!
Where do sessions take place?:
I live south of Clearfield on a farm with many possibilities for photo spots. This is always an option for you. However, most want to have their sessions in their hometown and/or at their school. I almost always go to where the senior picks out. I will travel to my surrounding towns with NO travel fee. Thisincludes - Lenox, Mt. Ayr, Diagonal, Creston, Afton, Corning, Bedford, New Market, Clarinda, Maryville and of course the little towns in between. If you live outside of this radius I will charge an appropriate travel fee.
I do not do sessions in any cities. I am not familiar enough with the good photo spots to be able to offer this to anyone.
Days and times available:
I only do senior shoots during the week, Tuesday-Thursday. The best pictures are done in soft lighting so evenings are the only time I will schedule my sessions. Sessions are 2 hrs at a time and will be started 2-2.5 hours before sunset on that day. Occasionally I will do a morning session if we had to reschedule due to weather or other unforeseeable conflicts.
Limited spots available:
I only take 25 seniors spots between June and October. November will be reserved for weather related reschedules. If I see that November is looking to have good weather and I have room for more I will put out an advertisement for more sessions at that time.
Things To Keep in Mind When Requesting a Date.
Permissions:
Most often it is a parent that will be filling out the booking form. If you are a Junior filling the form out for yourself I will still need to have parent/guardian contact info. Please also clear this with them before you commit to any date.
Sports:
If you have a sports practice please keep start time in mind. During the months when the sun starts to set before 7:30 you will either need to be able to leave practice early or find a day when you do not have practice.
If you schedule a session and then find out you have a game please let me know asap. I know that not all games/meets are on your school calendar yet so if this happens I will try my best to reschedule you. However, please DO NOT message me the week/days before to tell me you forgot there is a game. You will not be rescheduled for a new date.
Rescheduling:
There is always going to be things pop up that you can't control. Please don't worry too much about this. Weather, illness, family emergencies ect. I will absolutely try my best to reschedule you within a few days/weeks of your original day. I am also leaving November open for reschedules and extra sessions.
Booking
Booking will open on January 18th at 6pm.
At this time I will make a form available through a post on my facebook page. It will have questions regarding the day or month you are hoping to get, style and spots you have in mind for your session, if sports are included and all contact info.
I will work through each form as first come, first serve. Once a senior is confirmed for a day I will move onto the next.
