SENIOR
PORTRAITS

Choose clothing that feels comfortable and reflects your personality. That’s the biggest thing! These photos are a chance to remember yourself at this time in your life so whether you’re finishing up High School or College, BE YOURSELF.

Solid colors and simple patterns photograph best.

Layers are always awesome!

If you are going to be doing multiple outfit changes, just be mindful that there may not always be a bathroom nearby to change.

It is definitely ok to bring options and I can weigh in if you are not sure.

Of course! Many parents want to come along (especially for those under 18). If they are there to help you hold your stuff, relax, make you laugh then the more the merrier!

If you want to bring a friend that’s cool too!

Yes you can bring props! For High School seniors it is very common to bring that thing that is your thing. It could be a guitar, football, skateboard, DND Figures, you name it! We’ll make sure to incorporate them in some shots and also get some clean standard photos that can be used for announcements or whatever else you need!

Absolutely! I know there are tons of online options these days, but if you want to keep it easy, I actually have it built into my Online Gallery that you can buy announcements as well!

Absolutely! If you have them by the time we shoot, bring your cap, gown, stole, cords, medals, or anything else that represents your graduation.

We don’t have to make the entire session about graduation, but we’ll definitely get some classic cap and gown photos for you and the family.

Anywhere that feels right for you. We can keep things close to home in Glendora or somewhere around the San Gabriel Valley, shoot around your school if photography is permitted, or head somewhere completely different.

If you want mountains, downtown LA, the beach, the desert, or another location somewhere in Southern California, I’m always up for an adventure. Travel fees may apply outside the included area.

If our location requires a photography permit, then yes, we’ll need one. Some schools, parks, gardens, beaches, historic properties, and other locations charge permit, reservation, admission, or parking fees.

I’ll help you figure out what’s required when we choose the location. Any permit or location fees are additional to your session price.

Earlier than the week before graduation! Haha.

If you want photographs for graduation announcements, yearbooks, invitations, or gifts, give yourself plenty of time before you actually need them.

I can shoot your photos any time during your senior year including in the Fall. Spring dates can also fill up quickly as graduation gets closer.

You can absolutely take senior portraits earlier in your senior year too. There’s no rule saying you need to wait until you have a diploma in your hand.

Southern California is usually pretty cooperative, but sometimes it has other plans.

If rain, extreme heat, high winds, wildfire conditions, or something else is going to make the session unsafe or miserable, we’ll figure it out together. We can adjust the time, change locations, or reschedule for another day.

There’s no rescheduling fee when we decide weather or unsafe conditions require us to move the session.

Life happens! If you need to move your senior portrait session, give me at least 48 hours notice and we can reschedule at no additional charge.

When I reserve a date and time for you, that spot is yours and I’m no longer able to offer it to another client. Because of that, same day cancellations have a $75 rescheduling fee added when you book your new date. No shows may require a new booking fee.

If there’s a genuine emergency, just talk to me. I’d much rather work something out than make an already stressful situation worse.
