This is for you MOM and DAD and …. I’m going to be real honest with you …
My studio is probably one of the higher priced studios in the Central VA area in terms of investment. BUT what I do is way more entailed and customized than most photographers; however, I will always – always work with clients on getting what they want from their senior portrait experience with me. The experience you will receive from my studio is unparalleled. I will always be up front with you and I will not hide information. I never want you to feel in the dark or worried.
I realize my studio is not feasible for every family … but I put all of myself into these sessions and pride myself on giving these teenagers far more than just “cool photos”. My MAIN goal is to help them feel valued and “seen”, to help build their confidence, to connect with them. I only shoot about 50 seniors per year – by choice (my sessions sell out every year) – in order for me to deliver this type of service and I spend a great deal of time and energy on each client. I am going to walk you through every step of planning this photoshoot. You will receive an in depth How to Prepare guide, I am going to work with your child on selecting their outfits. I will guide you on Hair and Makeup. I send your child a questionnaire so I can get to know them and what THEY love to plan the perfect session. I start talking with them way before their session date so we feel like we are already friends when they arrive for their shoot. This goes A LONG WAY to making them comfortable in front of my camera- and you will see this translate in their images. I aim to give each one of my clients a unique experience to showcase their individuality, There are NO "cookie-cutter" images at my studio. I walk you through posing that fits your personality and style.
My sessions start at $150, collections begin at $650 and there is a $600 minimum order requirement; however, most clients spend an average of $1400-2000 on their entire experience. I offer payment plans and I also allow clients to pre-purchase collections in advance, so there are various options to go over.
And, if COST is the only thing holding you back, I will say this: Nobody EVER regretted getting beautiful images made of their child. You can’t get this time back and I will work with you to make this the BEST experience and memorable moment for you and your child. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
