Theres something I truly love about photographing seniors and really crafting a special experience for this milestone. Especially for teens - it important for them to have some real fun, have lots of positive feedback and feel true to themselves! Some seniors have many outfits, a fun prop, and I'm for capturing it all. Senior photo sessions are 75 minutes and usually somewhere especially epic allow for a variety of views and outfits. Senior photos are are generally on weeknights in the summer and the fall. As senior photo timing follows the same busy season as weddings I have limited availability and books up early!
I'm one of the rare people actually from Bend. After adventuring around the world and meeting my husband in New York City, I convinced him that we were Oregon people at heart and moved back here! We now have a rambunctious toddler which has made me fall back in love with portrait photography.
My goal for each session is to bring the best energy and really match the senior to try and help them truly feel comfortable in front of the camera and relax.
Senior photos are up to 75 minutes and cost $650 and include a finished gallery with all edited images able to be easily downloaded. You can expect between 75-100 images. They generally happen during the summer and fall on weeknights with limited weekend availability. As senior photo season overlaps with wedding season it's best to book early!
] I love Sparks Lake and Smith Rock for a more epic feel but places like Shevlin Park and the Badlands can have beautiful timeless tones. Sometimes somewhere that just is a special place to you can be the best photos!
This is totally up to you! I generally suggest 3-4 outfits with a mix of fancier and casual clothes. I always suggest erring on the side of timeless rather than trendy but ultimately these are your photos and I want you to love them! Keep in mind that some locations do not have public bathrooms or mirrors so you'll want to plan to change in the car.
Generally you can expect around 100 images that will be fully edited. Your school may have specific size requirements for the yearbook - once you select which photo that you want to use for the year book I can resize it/adjust it to each schools specifications.
