You’ve booked your senior’s portrait session, picked out outfits, and started planning—but you still have more questions! Don’t worry, you’re not alone. From last-minute prep tips to details about locations, poses, and what happens after the session, we know there’s a lot to think about. That’s why we’ve put together even more answers to your most frequently asked questions about senior photos. Whether you’re wondering about rescheduling, retouching, or how to make the most of your session, we’ve got you covered!
What if the weather is bad on the day of the session?
We shoot in all kinds of weather because every season brings its own unique beauty to your portraits. Whether it’s a crisp fall afternoon, a snowy winter wonderland, or a golden summer sunset, we embrace the elements to create stunning images. However, if the weather conditions become unsafe or if heavy rain and strong winds prevent us from capturing the perfect shot, we’ll gladly reschedule to ensure you get the best possible experience and results. Your safety and the quality of your portraits are always our top priorities!
Do you offer retouching or editing?
Yes! We offer professional retouching and editing to ensure your senior portraits look flawless while still maintaining a natural and authentic feel. Our skilled graphic designers carefully enhance each image by adjusting lighting, smoothing skin, and removing minor blemishes or distractions, all while preserving your senior’s unique features. We also offer more advanced retouching upon request, such as teeth whitening, stray hair removal, or custom edits to ensure every detail is just right. Our goal is to create polished, high-quality images that highlight your senior’s best features while keeping them looking like themselves. If you have specific editing preferences, just let us know, and we’ll work to bring your vision to life!
How long does it take to receive the final images?
The final images from your senior portrait session typically take up to 8 weeks for our skilled graphic designers to retouch and perfect. However, the exact turnaround time can vary depending on several factors, including the number of images ordered, the specific products purchased, and the level of retouching required. While some orders may be completed sooner, others may take a bit longer to ensure every detail meets our high-quality standards. Our goal is to deliver beautifully polished portraits that you’ll cherish for years to come, and we take the time necessary to make sure each image is flawless. If you have a specific deadline, such as graduation announcements or yearbook submissions, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate your needs as best as possible!
Will we be able to choose our favorite images?
Yes! As part of your senior portrait experience, you’ll get to enjoy a special "reveal" session where you can view your stunning images for the first time. It’s almost like a private movie screening—picture yourself relaxing on cozy couches in a warm, ambient setting while your portraits are displayed on the big screen. This is your chance to relive the magic of your session, select your favorite images, and choose the products that best showcase your senior’s personality. Whether you're looking for prints, albums, or wall art, our team will be there to guide you through the selection process and help you create keepsakes you'll cherish forever!
What types of prints and products do you offer?
We offer a wide variety of products and packages to ensure every senior has the perfect way to showcase their portraits! Our high-quality products include stunning wall portraits, elegant gallery wraps, custom multi-panel displays, and a range of beautifully crafted prints and keepsakes. Whether you're looking for a statement piece for your home, a gift for family members, or a timeless album filled with your favorite images, we have something for everyone. In addition to individual products, we also offer carefully curated packages that combine different prints and display options to fit your needs and budget.
Can we get digital files for use in senior slideshows and social media?
We offer two incredible packages that include a collection of high-quality digital files, giving you the flexibility to print your favorite images whenever and wherever you’d like! Whether you want to create stunning wall art, personalized graduation announcements, or simply share your photos with friends and family, you’ll have the freedom to do so.

How do we book a session, and what’s the deposit or payment process?
The easiest way to book your senior portrait session is to give us a call at the studio, where one of our friendly team members will be happy to assist you in setting up an appointment. Alternatively, you can fill out the booking form on our website, and once our portrait specialist receives your information, they’ll reach out to you via phone or email to finalize the details and schedule your session.
We don’t require a deposit for senior sessions, making it simple and stress-free to get started! Payment is due at the time of your reveal session, where you'll select your favorite images and products. At that point, you'll be asked to place a 50% deposit on your purchase, with the remaining balance due when you return to pick up your finished portraits. This flexible payment structure ensures a smooth process from start to finish, so you can focus on enjoying your senior experience!
Can you do a head & shoulders photograph for the high school yearbook?
If a classic, traditional head-and-shoulders portrait is what you're looking for, the answer is YES! We can begin your session in our studio, where we’ll capture timeless and professional images against a variety of backgrounds to suit your style. These portraits are perfect for showcasing in your high school yearbook, sharing with family, or even using for college and job applications. Starting in the studio allows us to create polished, high-quality images before moving on to more personalized and creative shots outdoors or on location. No matter your vision, we’re here to make sure your senior portraits are everything you want them to be!
