How many photos will I receive from my senior session?
The number of images depends on your package, but most seniors receive a curated gallery with a variety of poses, outfits, and locations. We focus on quality over quantity so every image feels intentional and worth keeping. With that said, at least 50.
Can I bring my pet to my senior session?
Yes. Pets are welcome as long as they’re safe and manageable at the location. We usually start with pet photos first so they can relax afterward. It’s a great way to personalize your session.
Do you offer hair and makeup recommendations?
Yes. We can recommend trusted local hair and makeup artists who specialize in natural, photo‑ready looks. Professional styling helps you feel confident and ensures your features photograph well in both studio and outdoor lighting.
