Frequently Asked Questions

I feel nervous, what should I do?
First, it’s ok to feel nervous! Most of us (adults included) feel a bit overwhelmed or nervous about stepping in front of the camera. Your comfort is my priority. Your senior portrait experience will not only be fun, but you should leave feeling confident! I promise, I've got your back.

What should I wear?
Before your session, I will help you to make sure that what you choose is a true representation of your personal style as well as flattering and complimentary to your location. Once you book, you’ll receive my style guide to help you choose the perfect outfit.

Do I have to pick studio or outdoors?
No, I am so excited to be one of the few photographers who offer both studio and outdoor locations. My home-based studio is conveniently located on 3.5 beautifully wooded acres next to a huge nature preserve and several parks. I also love to travel and will go anywhere to help you create your dream senior portraits.

How do I book?
Currently, my booking process starts with an email. Please visit my CONTACT page and fill out the form. I will get back to you within 24-48 hours. From there, let the planning begin!

How do I choose a location?
The world is your oyster! I’ll go anywhere. If you prefer to keep it simple, my home-based studio is located on 3.5 beautifully wooded acres, and I am very close to a nature preserve and parks. This makes it very convenient to shoot both in the studio and outdoors. We can create unique images that represent everything about you without going far. If you have a specific location in mind, that’s great too, we can plan out any location to bring your vision to life.

What if it rains?
Well, we do live in the PNW so rain is inevitable. If rain is in the forecast, we will discuss rescheduling the time or day. Studio sessions will, obviously, not need to be rescheduled.

Can boys have cool senior portraits too?
Absolutely! Let’s be honest, senior photo shoots, too often, seem geared toward girls and all things feminine. I LOVE photographing boys and representing all the ways they are different from girls. I will make sure your confidence and strength shine through and promise to help you create a senior portrait experience that suits your style and personality.

Can I bring props or my pet?
Yes! I encourage it all. Whether you play an instrument, want to wear your letterman’s jacket, or pose with your family pet, I love finding ways to incorporate important things into your shoot.

How much does a session cost?
I offer a variety of sessions with options for more than one outfit or location. Please visit my CONTACT page and fill out the form. I will send my price list.

How long does a session last?
It really depends on what you want. I don’t like to set time limits on my sessions because sometimes the mood just takes us away. While I am considerate of everyone’s time, the length of your session will depend on how many outfits, locations, props, etc. you choose.
