A LITTLE ABOUT CARRIE: I was once a high school senior. Truth! I remember my senior session. I hope you will too! I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up but I did graduate from college. I’m married. We have twin boys who are quickly approaching their senior year! We have a daughter who rocks our world and an extra chromosome (Down Syndrome)! I LOVE creating art just for you! These are my peeps! We have fun doing life together! They are my why!
A FEW FAVORITES: VACATION SPOT: Maui, but I’m up for finding a new favorite! COLOR: Depends on the day and purpose. I tend to wear a lot of black. SWEET TREAT: Dark chocolate all the way! BEVERAGE: Water or my pink drink! FOOD: Home cooking! Nothing beats it! LENS: 70-200mm for seniors or my 105mm for wedding details. HEELS OR FLATS: Flats! I’m short and I’m totally ok with it. ENTERTAINMENT: A comedian and laughing until you can’t breathe! CONVENIENCE: My iPhone so I always have a camera with me.

WHAT TO EXPECT: EXPECT the unexpected. There is only one you and the session and art created will be uniquely yours.
EXPECT to relax and have fun! I’m never looking through my camera thinking, “I can’t believe they’re posing like that!” Instead, I see family resemblances, similar expressions and beautiful features. Most importantly, I see you! I’ll guide you and make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I promise!
EXPECT to chat. I love learning about you, your interests, work, school, activities, future plans, family, etc. It’s even better when we discover we have a something or someone in common!
LOCATIONS: We’ll visit about

add interest & dimension. Local boutiques as well as Maurice’s are great at styling outfits. I also have Pinterest boards for outfit inspiration.
STYLE TIPS: No matter who you are, the most important style tip is to wear clothes that fit; not so tight you can’t move or they are gaping open at the buttons and not so baggy you have no shape. Variety is the spice of your session and it allows us to choose combinations that complement your chosen locations. I love photographing dressy to active and everything in between. Sunglasses, hats, musical instruments, your favorite coffee mug/cup, books, your phone, sports equipment, hunting gear, awards …… you get the idea. We may not use them all but bring ‘em! I’m always happy to take a look at your options. We can FaceTime, you can message me photos or I can pop over if you are here in town. Still unsure? Here’s a Senior Guy or Senior Girl Pinterest board for inspiration.

FAQs Q: May I have ALL images from my session? A: Yes. I professionally cull your session to remove undesirables. The rest are all yours! Q: Do you edit all of the images in my gallery? A: Yes. Basic edits have been completed on all gallery images. Skin retouching, braces removal, head swaps and such can be completed per image for an additional fee. Q: Can I make my own prints? A: Yes. Print permission is provided for all purchased sessions. Q: Will you travel for a session? A: Yes. Locations within 30 minutes are included at no charge with purchase of all full session. I will happily travel further but additional fees will apply. Q: What methods of payment can you accept for my retainer and balance? A: Cash or good check or I can invoice you conveniently and securely for each through PayPal Me. Q: What do you mean by life-inspired images? A: Good question! Traditional portraits have the subject looking at the camera and smiling. We’ll capture that eye contact and smile, but we’ll also capture some movement and personality that may or may not have eye contact with the viewer. I’ve included examples of both in this Welcome Guide.
