So your senior year is a really important time for you – your last year in high school and the impending “going off to college” will leave your parents longing for some great photos of you! You’ll want cool shots that you can share with friends and extended family too. My sessions are totally customized experiences and start with a Senior Questionnaire to get to know you better and to help me make suggestions that will make your session(s) even more fun.
I have 4 basic Senior Offerings for Session types - and they are all tied back to the Session Pricing Overview for ease of comparison.
The Yearbook Only is a Modified, Single Exposure Digital Session 1 – This is great if you only need the yearbook pose – it’s a “mini” digi session, but I provide the drape or tux and delivery of your selected file to your school. (some schools do charge an extra fee for using a photographer other than the school contracted photographer, please inquire) The digital file is NOT included for customer use in this offering, only for school yearbook use. In this session you will receive an online gallery to view up to 15 poses in proof form, and you are welcome to order prints of your yearbook pose through my print offerings. Please inquire at the time of session booking about special promotions for yearbook only print packages.
The Single Exposure – One person (Basic or Premium) – Want a little more time in your session? This is one two hour session. Take it as a yearbook studio with some additoonal time for casual studio shots, or an on location session. Again, you will receive an online gallery of your session proofs and can expect to see at least 30 proofs from your session in most cases, sometimes more depending on how many locations, outfits, settings, etc we get to have during your session.
The Double Exposure – One Person (Basic or Premium) – How about a studio session AND an on location session? This is your ticket! And again, you’ll have an online gallery for each of your sessions, and can expect to see approximately 30 or more proofs from each session – in some cases, more than that depending on timing, locations, etc. You can also have this session type for TWO on location sessions – this is total flexibility. You have up to 6 months between sessions so, seniors can have their yearbook shots done in September/October and then get spring shots before they graduate – the best of both worlds!
The Multiple Exposure – One person (Basic or Premium) – Want to be sure you get updated photos next spring before you graduate? Take this option for a yearbook session or just studio time for one session, take another session out and about in the fall/winter and then a last session next spring before you graduate to “update your look”. Great option for those wanting custom graduation announcements or invitations to parties next spring! This option is the 9 month plan – you have 9 months from the time of your first session to use your last session. So you can have your yearbook shots and studio casual shots in the fall, then do a casual session on location – like Downtown Leesburg, or a favorite park, or even a sports event. Then save your last session for a casual session right before graduation – get cap and gown shots outside, shots with your friends before you graduate, updated casual shots, etc. This plan lets you document your whole senior year – AND makes the parents happy by giving you the shots you need for school, and in time for the holidays. But you also can get the “look” right before your actual graduation, and not have to have your senior photo be the one done almost a whole year before the “day”.
So how many times would you like to be photographed? You have options…don’t settle for what everyone else is doing, or for what the school offers. Do it YOUR way.
