1. SCHEDULE YOUR COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION

We’re so excited…let's get to know each other! Let’s get a date at our downtown studio for your consultation. These casual meetings typically take about 45 minutes, but can be a little shorter or longer depending on how many questions you may have for me! I want to get to know you, and to hear about your vision for your senior photos. I want to know what you're into so we can customize your portrait session to be all about YOU! You'll also have a chance to get hands on with samples of the heirloom quality albums and beautiful wall art that we offer.

2. GET READY TO BE PAMPERED!

As part of our Senior Experience we offer professional hair and makeup for an additional $125 by Rochester’s finest stylist.  It's always fun to get the full model treatment, and our makeup gals will have the tools and products available to make you look your very best on camera. She will do as little makeup so you look most natural including lashes and air brushed light foundation for a polished look that even in 95 degree day you won’t even looked sweaty. We promise -we totally believe in enhancing your natural beauty, not changing what you look like.

2. THE PHOTOSHOOT

As soon as you walk through my studio door and show me all your outfits I begin to “see” and imagine where I feel would be the best locations for you - and thats where the fun part begins! We make sure these locations are perfect for you!  And as far as posing... no worries we walk you through all of that! We'll give you tips and guide you through the shoot to help you look and feel your best and make this the most fun and exciting time for you! This is my favorite part... creating images together that capture you perfectly! 

3. THE ORDERING SESSION

To be best prepared for your ordering session, look around your home to get an idea of the spaces you'd like to fill on your walls. Take measurements and photos of the spaces you'd like to fill with your custom art to help our appointment go seamlessly. 

A week or two after your photo session, you'll come back to the studio for your ordering session. I am an expert - I'll guide you through the ordering process and educate you on what products and sizes will work best to fill the space on your walls and which album option best suits the images you've chosen. Bring a list of friends and family you'd like to gift some prints to also… having all these things done ahead of time helps your ordering session to go more quickly! Plan for around 1 1/2 hours for this appointment. Payment is made at the ordering session. Print products, and high resolution digital images are sold separately during your ordering session which we schedule a week or two after the shoot.

Approximately 4-6 weeks after your ordering session, your custom albums, wall art, and prints will be available to pick up at the studio!

4. PRINT YOUR PORTRAITS AND DISPLAY THEM PROUDLY

We believe in the power of print. Display them on your walls, on your desk, or in an album for your coffee table! We offer high quality, heirloom products that you can enjoy for a lifetime. In this digital age what happens if you lose your phone or have a computer crash? All those memories are gone in an instant. There is an incredible difference between scrolling through photos on your phone and holding a beautiful album in your hands... I am a full service boutique studio, and I will walk you through the entire process from the initial consultation until you have a gorgeous heirloom quality album in your hands and breathtaking wall art ready to hang on your walls. You will be the envy of all your friends and family.
