So you've booked your senior session, now what?
In today's blog post, I am going to go through each step so you know exactly what to expect for your senior session experience!
THE SENIOR QUESTIONNAIRE
As soon as a senior books their session, I send out a senior questionnaire. This is an online form that asks questions to help me get to know each client before I take their photos. I want each and every client to get the photo shoot they are dreaming of so I want to find out information to help me plan that.
Don't worry, the questions aren't hard! :) But I really do want to get to know you so that I can tell your story with my camera. This is where you will tell me about yourself, your personality, your style and where you will share with me any and all ideas you might have for your photo shoot. Don't hold back! The more you share, the more I will be able to plan the perfect shoot for you!
THE PREP GUIDE
After you complete the senior questionnaire, I will give you a link to my Senior Prep Guide. This is full of helpful information to help you get ready for your session. What to wear guide that will help you plan your outfits for your photoshoot, a session prep guide that will give you helpful tips & info to get you ready for the photoshoot as well as a checklist so you don't forget anything!
THE WARDROBE CONSULTATION
Depending on the type of session you booked, you will meet me for a wardrobe consultation. This is where we get together, go through your outfits and plan the specific ones that will look best for your photo shoot. You will also have a chance to choose something from the Client Closet and borrow anything you want. I will help you make sure your outfits work for the locations we plan as well as help you finalize the look with the right accessories and shoes.
REMINDER EMAIL/TEXT
The day before your session, I will touch base with reminders about what to bring, where to meet and more as well as a text letting you know how excited I am for your photo shoot!! I love checking in with my clients before their shoot just to make sure you don't have any last minute questions and to let you know I can't wait to take your photos!
THE PHOTO SESSION
It's the day of your session! Yay!! If you start with hair and makeup studio, I will meet you there and sit with you throughout the process. We will chat, get to know each other even better and I will be there to ensure you get the look you want for your hair and makeup.
Once hair and makeup is done, you will change into your first outfit and then we will go to the shoot location, taking all of your things with us.
I will guide you through everything and show you poses and more. You don't have to be nervous! It is my time to make sure you are having the best experience possible and capture you and your personality. This is where we have so much fun and get the best photos possible. By the end you'll feel like a pro!
AFTER YOUR SESSION
After the photo shoot is done, I am going through your photos with the and getting them ready for you and your parents to review.
A gallery link will be emailed to you, it will be easy to choose your favorite pics, plus I always recommend an album and print for display in your home! Once a decision is made, final edited images & products will be delivered within two weeks.
During the entire process, my goal is to make you feel comfortable and guide you along the way. I want to make your senior photo experience memorable and fun! I can't wait to take your senior photos!
