Hey there, future grad! So, you've finally hit senior status—woohoo! This is your last hurrah in high school before you dive into the college adventure. And trust me, you want to make every moment count! Capturing this chapter in your life is not just about memories; it's about freezing those moments that define you, right now.

Now, the best way to lock in these memories? Booking a senior photo session! But how do you go about it? Well, let me give you the inside scoop:

  1. Get the Scoop from Friends: Hit up your buddies, or even chat with some recent grads. They'll spill the beans on who they used for their photoshoots and what rocked about it. Check out their pics—do you vibe with the style? Are the poses and locations your jam? Your pals' snaps will give you a taste of what to expect.

  2. Scope Out Their Website: These days, everyone's online, including your potential photog. Make sure they've got a slick website that screams pro. You're not just after someone with a fancy camera; you want a true artist. So, dig into their site, suss out their vibe, and see if it meshes with yours. Oh, and make sure they're in your neck of the woods!

  3. Are They Social Butterflies?: Peek at their social media game. Are they active? Do they serve up fresh content like it's nobody's business? I once had a senior tell me she picked me over another photographer because my Insta game was strong—I was posting consistently, showing off my work, and staying connected with my peeps. That mattered to her. So, snoop around their socials to see if they're the real deal.

  4. Define Your Dream Experience: Your senior session should be more than just a photo op; it should be an experience. You want a photog who's there every step of the way—prepping you, helping with outfits, sorting out locations—the works! You're after someone who'll make you feel like a million bucks. So, figure out what kind of experience you're after and make sure your chosen photog can deliver.

Now, when it comes to booking with me, it's all about making magic happen. Here's how:

Step One: Hit me up (short for below) and let me know you're ready to rock a session.

Step Two: I'll hook you up with available dates and send over a digital Welcome Magazine jam-packed with all the deets you need to make the perfect choice for your senior photos. From session options to pricing, it's all in there. Take a peek with your folks, then...

Step Three: Lock in your session type and pick a date that suits you from the options I send your way. Oh, and the session fee secures your spot—easy peasy.

Step Four: Fill out the Questionnaire. This little gem lets me get to know you better before our big day. Just punch in your deets online, hit submit, and I'll take it from there.

Step Five: Keep an eye out for a fab Welcome Packet in the mail. It's chock-full of goodies like a What to Wear Guide and a session checklist to keep you on track.

Step Six: Get ready to have a blast! Picture this: pampering, laughter, and creating epic shots that tell your story. It's gonna be epic!

So, if you think I'm the photographer for you, let's make some magic happen. Senior year, here we come!
