Question 2

WHERE DO THE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE

Accepted Answer

Most of our seniors like to start with images in my studio on Main Street in Hendersonville. We usually start by spending the Hair and Makeup artist work her magic, then do portraits right here in the studio.   Then, we often go to second outdoor location. It can be downtown for a more urban look on the sidewalks and near cool brick walls, a local park for more nature photos, or even a waterfall or mountain view. 
We welcome your ideas for location and we have a few favorites we can recommend. If this is your first solo shoot, it might feel a little awkward. So, we’ll take a few “icebreakers” just to get you warmed up. We want you to be relaxed in your photos, so we like to joke around with you and make it fun.

Question 3

HOW LONG DO THE SESSIONS LAST

Accepted Answer

Most sessions are usually 1.5-3 hours giving you plenty of time to fit in at least 4-5 outfits and often a second location for more variety.

Question 4

SHOULD I GET MY HAIR & MAKEUP DONE?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Hair & Makeup is a huge part of your overall experience! It makes you look and feel amazing. I work with the BEST professional makeup artist & hair stylists who know exactly how to enhance your natural beauty while still looking like YOU. You can bring your own hair and makeup ideas or leave it up to the stylist, either way you will not only look after we are done pampering you!   We offer packages that include a personal hair stylist and makeup artist. These talented artisans will be appointed entirely to you! They will make you feel like a beauty pageant winner or supermodel. If you are comfortable with doing your own hair and makeup, that is entirely your choice. You can also bring someone you know to do it for you, as we know you may have already established relationships with hair and beauty stylists.

Question 5

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Accepted Answer

Getting ready for your senior photo session is half the fun!
 First, we will work with you to choose a style that suits your personality, whether you prefer serious, glamorous, starlet, trendy, fashion diva or casual. With so many looks to choose from, we find that building an exclusive Pinterest board is a helpful way to discover your favorite styles.  
To help us understand you better, we will ask you to fill out a questionnaire about yourself. This helps us get to know you and craft a session that is unique to you. Are you simple and sophisticated or do you love bold looks? Let us know, and we will help you to create a fashion ensemble that best reflects your true self.

Question 6

IF I AM NERVOUS ABOUT MY SHOOT! WILL YOU GIVE ME POSE IDEAS?

Accepted Answer

Of Course, that is a huge part of my job! I will give you tons of ideas and directions throughout your session to help you feel at ease and confident. I find the best photos to be the candid photos because that is when you are at your most relaxed state. We don't do stiff posed sessions around here, we laugh and just have fun together. I never ask you to stand still and pose with a smile to the point your lips starting to quiver. I will coach you along every step of the way.

Question 7

CAN I GET A DOWNLOAD OF MY PHOTOS?

Accepted Answer

We live in a digital generation and love to share your beautiful pictures online as much you do! YES, I will provide you with web-ready digital copies of any print or product that you purchase. These images have been fully retouched (blemish removal, skin smoothing, color enhanced etc.) and ready for the world to see. I only release fully edited images. Not only to protect my brand, but to also ensure you are receiving a fully-finished portrait. That is what I do, deliver amazing images ready to be enjoyed and shared.

Question 8

WHEN DO I VIEW MY PICTURES?

Accepted Answer

About 1-2 weeks following your session I will schedule your premier viewing and ordering session where I will present all of your proofs to you, and walk you through all of the collections and a la carte options to find out what best suits your needs. I will also show you all the beautiful heirloom products that are available for you so you can pick out what you love!
