- Where do I park?

Your Session
- Can I take photos with my family or a friend?
- Absolutely! Packages may come with a session duration up to 2 hours, you decide what you'd like to do with your time. However, time is a luxury and including too much people in your shoot can be a time zapper.
- How many wardrobe changes can I have?
- Your clothing changes are only limited by the duration of your chosen package.
- What kinds of clothing should I bring?
- Your senior pics are a time to show people just how much you've grown. So, break out of your comfort zone even if it means using clothing that isn't your norm. Don't forget, if you participate in sports bring your uniforms. But, remember to keep in mind your school's dress code.
- Ladies, we consider it almost manditory for one of your wardrobe changes to include a dress, bring a few if you're not sure.
- Guys, feel free to bring a nice t-shirt, but don't forget to bring yourself a dress shirt or two.
- Can I bring props?
- We prefer to have our clients bring in their props. This prevents everyone from having similar portraits and personalizes yours. Include your sports gear in your portrait, your dog, your instruments, and even your car. We work with just about anything to get the photos you expect.
- Is there a separate sitting charge?
- No! It would be false advertising on our part and poor business etiquette if we didn't disclose all of our cost to you.
- How many photos are taken?
- Anywhere between 100-300. However, only the best photos survive the cut. Prior to you viewing your photos we will remove all of the redundant, unflattering photos and leave only the photos we feel work for you.
