perfecting every detail

Location

Over the last three or four years, what location has meant the most to you? If it's a football field, fairgrounds or coffee shop, we want to feature you in your perfect element! We love natural light, so we may have a few suggestions on how to best achieve this. By choosing your locations, it will be easier to select your clothing style and colors.

Interests

Are you proud of the hard-earned awards you have won throughout high school? Let's use those as the background of your images! Is there an animal who has been significant in your life? By all means, we have to include them in your photos. You've been a rock star in your own area, and we want to be sure your passions are a focal point along with you throughout your session. We will make a plan on how to incorporate props that tell the story of your high school years.

Season

How do you visualize yourself in your session? Are you soaking up the summer sun or kicking snow into the air? Nailing down the season, will help finalize the look of the shoot. We suggest avoiding the coldest months, but don't rule out a beautiful winter day. During the heat of the summer, sessions will only be booked just before sunset, to keep you cool and capture those beautiful light glows.

Style

Now that you have chosen your location, season and fine tuned the interests you want to highlight, it's time to pick out your clothing! It's important to match the theme of your session. We recommend wearing a simple color palette with various textures, shades and tones complimenting the scene of your photos. Refraining from logos, patterns and bright colors allow the focus to be on you, letting the clothing compliment your personality. Be comfortable and confident in your selection.
