SENIOR INVESTMENT GUIDE
Thank you for your interest! Read through this guide, and if you are interested in working with me, follow the link at the bottom of this page to start the booking process.
ONE
RESERVING YOUR SESSION
A $300 session fee and a signed contract are required to reserve your session. The session fee covers time and talent only—the time spent photographing and a gallery slideshow presentation of 35-40 curated and edited photographs.
Digital files and products are sold separately.
Once your fee is paid and the contract is signed, we will work together to find a session date that works for both of us. I will email you a few options, and we will go from there! Spring and fall are the busiest times of the year, so if you are interested in a session during one of those times, let’s get you on the calendar!
TWO
THE SESSION
After booking, we’ll work to find just the right location, and I’ll help you with what to wear. The better we plan, the more relaxed and fun your session will be.
Sessions are typically scheduled on weekdays, two hours before sunset, when the natural light is at its best. Weekdays offer quieter locations compared to weekends. Most high school seniors appreciate the opportunity to have their sessions during the week, preserving their weekends for other activities. If that’s not possible, just let me know, and we’ll work to find a weekend date.
I'll contact you a few days before our session to confirm time and location. If the weather forecast is questionable or someone seems to be getting sick, we can discuss rescheduling options. Otherwise, that's the perfect time to ask any last-minute questions and fine-tune what you are wearing.
Time spent during a photo session is time-remembered, not just because we make photographs that serve as a visual reminder—but because people remember how a session feels years later and many times forever.
THREE
THE PHOTOGRAPHS
Your gallery of 35-40 fully edited photographs will be ready a few weeks after our session. The images are presented as a slideshow—the best way to view your gallery for the first time.
My product offering and pricing are crafted with one thing in mind—preserving your photographs with tangible, archival products. You'll never get the same feeling looking at your photographs on a screen as you do seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album. Every print comes with an accompanying digital file. Alternatively, you have the option of purchasing all the digital files.
THE PRODUCTS
As a photographer for over 15 years, there is one thing I've learned—there's nothing like tangible printed photographs. Too many photographs are left unprinted, stuck in social media feeds, or lost altogether. It's time we get back to what's real and meaningful—something you can hold in your hands and hang on your walls.
Custom photography is a big investment. That’s why all the product offerings are beautiful, heirloom quality to be enjoyed not only now, but for future generations.
High Resolution Files
A high-resolution file(s) is included with every printed item, from a 5x7 print to each image included in an heirloom album.
Please note that individual files are delivered for download upon placing your order. Includes print release for personal printing.
Purchase the entire gallery and you’ll receive a $500 print credit.
Entire gallery of files + $500 print credit …………….…. $1295
Heirloom Album
I’ve printed a family album for the last 20 years. My family loves looking through them year after year, and I am sure they will for years to come. Albums are a favorite way to capture your session from start to finish.
This beautiful album is a must-have—it’s custom-designed and includes about 20 photographs from your curated gallery. Choose from premium cover materials, linen or leather, unmatched in print quality and craftsmanship.

Framed Fine Art Prints & Canvas
There is nothing like the feeling of a framed and hung wall portrait—seeing them is a daily reminder of your life and all the beautiful phases. A stunning heirloom your family will enjoy for years to come. One photograph classically framed or hung as an unframed gallery-wrapped canvas. Photographs are printed on high-quality museum-grade papers, framed using archival materials, and built for generations. With a degree in interior design, I love helping clients find the right spot for their framed heirloom prints—if that is something you are interested in let me know!

Handmade print boxes offer a superior look and feel with a solid wooden core wrapped in a beautiful linen cover. Photographs are printed on fine art acid-free archival paper.
The Print Box with 25 photos starts at $995.
Includes 25 high-resolution digital files.
Custom Announcements & Thank you’s
Announcements are custom-designed just for you; no company branding or logos. Add a box of unique thank you cards to send to the generous people in your life.
Box of 25 cards $150.
Includes one high-resolution digital file for every $95 spent.
If you're like me and like to see and feel things like album covers and paper types in person, I have samples of all the physical products. For those interested in wall art, I'll come to your home and help you with design and placement—it's one of my favorite parts of the process!
