1. How much does a photo session cost?

Professional senior photography fees vary throughout the country and every photographer sets their own fees for each genre they shoot. Visit my Senior Picture Session page to learn about my photo session services and fee. Digital photographs and physical prints are purchased separately, packages and a la Carte pricing is available, with no minimum ordering requirements. 

2. Can you recommend an outdoor location for our senior portrait session?

Yes! There are so many great places to take senior pictures outdoors. Go here to view Outdoor Locations for Portrait Photoshoots in eastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod. I love when clients share their session location ideas too!

3. What is your senior portrait photography style?

My senior portrait photography style is timeless with a creative twist! I prefer a classic look with polished poses and a focus on clean, outdoor nature backgrounds. This style is perfect for capturing a variety of headshots, casual and formal portraits, that will give you plenty of picture options to choose from for your yearbook. Explore my senior portfolio gallery to learn more.

4. What is the best time of day for a picture session?

As a rule of thumb, two to three hours after sunrise and before sunset offer the best lighting for outdoor portrait photography. I use the website time and date to plan my session times throughout the year.

5. Can I bring my dog to the photoshoot?

Yes! and... maybe? Your dog is welcome to join our session provided the session location allows dogs on their property.

6. What happens if there's bad weather on our session day?

Living in New England means living with unpredictable weather. If rain is in the forecast, I will make the call to proceed or reschedule the session 1-2 hours before the start time. No one wants soggy wet feet and clothes while having their pictures taken, so 99% of the time we will reschedule for the next available date. Dark stormy cloud covered days with or without rain produce poor light quality for photography. I often reschedule on those days too.

7. What should I wear for my senior pictures?

This is a common question most photographers are asked! Go here to read about:

8. When can I expect to see my pictures?

Fully edited images are ready 5-10 days after the photo session. A private online viewing gallery is provided as part of the service fee.

9. Do you offer photo retouching? 

Yes, light retouching is part of my editing process. Some retouching examples include, to remove a stray hair, a spot on a shirt etc. I will not edit images to reduce the look of cellulite, make someone appear thinner, remove braces, change clothing colors etc. Acne retouching is available for an additional fee.

10. What should I bring with me to the photoshoot? 

I advise my clients to bring any props they want to include in their pictures (ex. a diploma, a musical instrument etc.). I also recommend bringing a snack, a drink, bug spray, and hairspray to tame static hair.
