Our Luxury Senior Experience
High school graduation is one of life’s biggest milestones! Let us capture YOU and this special achievement. Our luxury senior experience is unique and individualized from the first planning conversation until you’re holding our heirloom prints in your hand. Our sessions are for the senior who wants something different. They provide an opportunity to capture you at your very best while highlighting YOUR personality and the things in which YOU are most interested. During the session, we shoot with both the senior and parent in mind, making sure we have exceeded both sets of expectations.
Session options range between one & two hours. Pricing begins at $300.
OUR PROCESS
-
When you are ready to book, contact us and we’ll collect some basic information (i.e. school you attend, interests/hobbies, personal style, etc.) and get you on our calendar. Once booked, we require a deposit of half your session fee. Please keep in mind we typically book 2-3 months in advance.
-
The collaborative planning begins! This is YOUR shoot. I am here to help with everything from times and locations to styling and accessories to make it all perfect.
-
We only book one session per day to ensure you are THE priority that day. We suggest bringing a variety of clothing/accessories for the shoot so that we have lots of options! During your session, we will guide you through natural poses and provide feedback to ensure that your images are perfect right in the camera before the editing process ever even begins.
-
You will receive a sneak peek within 48 hours of your session to make the anticipation that much worse ;) Feel free to share these images to your socials.
-
Your digital gallery will be delivered within 30 days of your session. Depending on your package selections, you will receive 30-50 fully edited images. Feel free to share this with all of your friends and family. All of our packages are inclusive, including digital downloads. However, we want to get these images in your hands and on your walls so they do not get lost on a hard drive forever. We have a 15 year partnership with a professional lab to ensure the best and highest quality prints in the industry. We are also available to custom design and print your graduation invitations to showcase your new images!!

WHAT MAKES US THE BEST?
-
Michael has over fifteen years of experience with seniors, weddings & commercial projects.
-
Instead of applying a trendy preset to a batch of images, all our images are individually color graded, enhancing and maintaining the colors present in your images. This process allows your images to remain timeless over the years to come.
-
Everyone wants to look their best in their photos, we make that happen. We use the same professional skin retouching techniques used in high end magazine editorials. This technique enhances your natural beauty, while maintaining your skin texture and tone. While retouching our main goal is to enhance, not change.
-
Michael’s style is infused with an editorial flair that ensures your images will stand out. For years Michael has scoured the area searching for the most unique photo locations. After booking, you will receive a list of these locations for your choosing.
FAQs
What should I wear?
Bring things that showcase your style & interests. We always suggest that you stick with solid basics, layering pieces, and accessories. Don't be afraid to bring too much. We will help you decide what to wear depending on our set. Still need help? We’ll be glad to share some of our favorite brands.
Do you travel for sessions?
Absolutely! We have traveled as far as Las Vegas for sessions previously. There are travel fees involved with these, but we are always down!
Do you offer graduation invitations?
We do! We will work closely with you and your parents to design exactly what you want for your invites and even have our lab print them, too!
How long will you keep my images?
All images are archived for one year from the date of your session. Please keep in mind that since hard drives can crash this is strictly a courteous service. We are not liable for any lost images if you do not download during the month of your online gallery.
Why do you suggest ordering prints vs. printing my own?
We have been using a printing lab who only prints for professional photographers for the past ten years. We know that the quality of paper and inks that they use will last 50 years, while the quality from local retail stores will only last for up to 12 months.
