During the consultation, we can discuss your photography needs and work together to determine a photo package that's perfect for you. We will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have at this time.

We will arrange a date for your photography session. Our team will provide you with helpful advice on how to get ready, select a location that holds meaning for you and your high school journey, and assist you in achieving your best possible appearance. Depending on the package you select, you might be able to wear multiple outfits or have your photos taken at multiple locations. However, our top priority is to capture a range of shots that truly showcase your personality and style. Don't hesitate to text us if you have any concerns about your outfit choices, we are happy to offer suggestions on what will look great in photos.
3. DAY OF THE SHOOT
We suggest that you bring approximately 5-6 outfits and several shoe options on the day of the shoot to ensure that you have a variety of options. Additionally, don't forget to bring along any props and accessories that you'd like to include. Interestingly, seniors frequently forget to bring belts, socks, and undergarments. If you're feeling apprehensive about being in front of the camera, don't fret. We'll guide you on how to pose, advise you on what actions to take, and what to avoid. Our priority is to make you feel at ease, so your unique personality can shine through.

The Significance of
Professional Headshots
in Building Your Personal Brand & Professional Image
Importance of Headshots
In the digital age, where first impressions are often made online, professional headshots have become increasingly important as they serve as a visual representation of yourself and your brand. A well-crafted headshot can communicate a sense of professionalism, credibility, and approachability, which can help you make a positive first impression.
In a competitive market, a high-quality headshot can also help you stand out from the crowd and differentiate yourself from others in your industry. It can convey your personality, values, and style, and help potential clients or employers to see you as a trustworthy and competent professional.
Therefore, investing in a professional headshot can be a wise decision that can pay off in many ways. It can help you build your personal brand, establish your professional reputation, and create a strong and lasting impression on those who see it.
Getting Ready
Create a headshot that perfectly represents your personal brand and impresses potential clients by taking the time to prepare before your shoot. Consider the key elements that define your personal brand and the message you want to communicate to others through your headshot. Make a list of keywords and phrases that accurately represent your brand, and bring them with you to the studio. Additionally, think about the visual elements that exemplify your brand, such as your clothing, accessories, and background, and incorporate them into your headshot to create an authentic representation of your personal brand.
We offer a variety of shots, taken in different outfits, to provide you with a series of options to choose from. It's important to consider which social media platform you'll be using your photos for, as different platforms may require different styles or sizes of images. Above all, we want you to enjoy the experience and feel relaxed and comfortable during your photo shoot. A natural and confident subject makes for the best photos, so don't forget to have fun!
What to Wear
We believe that your appearance should reflect the message you want to communicate through your photos. One way to achieve this is by wearing outfits that align with your personal style and values. To create a timeless and classic look, we recommend choosing solid colors and tops with structured collars and necklines. Even though the focus will be on your upper body, we suggest coordinating your outfit from head to toe, as some shots may include a wider angle. It's important to select clothing that flatters your skin tone and eye color, and to avoid very bright or bold colors that can detract from your natural beauty. Our goal is to capture the best version of yourself, so we'll work with you to find the perfect outfit that accentuates your unique features.
