Lets explain each one in a bit more detail:
The Announcement Session
It’s a quick studio photoshoot that we do right after the senior team is formed. We create edgy and casual images to introduce the senior models to our social media sites! We offer professional hair and makeup for these sessions, but is not included or required.
We have done different things for our senior models throughout the years, but always showcasing the model’s personality, either by asking them to choose a shirt or outfit that reflects their interests and hobbies, or by choosing words they stand by.
Here are some examples from 2021 seniors:
The Individual Senior Session
The senior session starts with the senior consultation. This is a meeting with parent and senior were we plan and design her unique senior session and book the date. We try to encourage every senior to reflect in their sessions their unique personalities and interests.
We do 4 looks, at 4 locations (studio and outdoors), customized the way you want. Then we coordinate a date for you to come to the studio for your viewing/ordering appointment, where you will choose the images for your book and order any additional products you would like. The senior session is usually done in one day, but you can split the session or add another day for $250 extra.
Here are a few examples of some of my favorite senior sessions from 2021 senior models!
- Kylie gorgeous soccer player.
- Caroline, beautiful dancer and adamant baseball enthusiast.
- Ashli summer lover and company dancer.
Senior Model Beauty Project Session
In this session we focus on building self esteem. We show the girls how beautiful they are by creating gorgeous images of them – wearing no makeup and with their natural hair. These images are presented in black and white to focus on solemn beauty with no distractions.
4th of July Session
A fun 4th of July themed session in the studio or outside to sport your American pride!
Sunflower / Flower Field Session
Because the flower fields have become such a hit, we are adding a choice of either sunflowers or dahlia/zinnia fields to your 2023 senior model experience! We have planted two fields for our convenience!
Fall Session
This is a very popular environmental session that we do outside during the fall months of October and November. Everyone loves a great fall portrait!
Holiday Session
Every year we design a new Christmas set and all the senior models are invited to bring their families and pets, and take cute photos. Families can use these photos to create Christmas cards or to simply use for their social media posts. Here is the 2021 set:
Valentine Session
This is a fun and fast valentines session with the sole purpose of getting digital content for everyones social media! Set is different every year.
Headshot Session
This session started years ago exclusively for rush headshots, yet it’s useful for all even if you are not participating in sorority rushing- we all need a head shot update!
Senior Model Videos
The videos are really fun opportunities to bond with the team, and create great memories. They are voluntary and we film them over a few days to give everyone a chance to participate and shine! Every year we create a summer fun video, and Christmas video and a “say goodbye” video! Here I share with you the latest ones, but you can go watch them all on my Instagram at IGTV.
Optional Family Session Add-on
The senior year is a great time to have a family portrait done with the model’s immediate family before your senior leaves for college. We can do a casual look, formal look, in studio or outside – really anything your heart can dream up for a perfect memory.
Optional Destination Beach Session Add-on
For this special session, we coordinate a trip south to the beach with all the models that sign up for it. The sunsets on the water are gorgeous and make for portraits that will blow you away. For a little bit of a different feel, a sunrise session could even be your thing.
Optional Destination Waterfall Session Add-on
One of our new destination sessions will be at a beautiful waterfall used as your dramatic backdrop. Imagine a fun day trip to a gorgeous location like the one here with a group of senior models. I have some super fun ideas I’m thinking up for this day!
Optional Destination New York City Session Add-on
Yes, you read that right!! Your photo session in New York City – how fun will this be!! I wanted to add something really amazing and exciting this year that a small (or large) group of us could go away and do something totally different than anything I’ve done before with my senior models. Just think of the possibilities!
