I can't believe my very own high school senior is about to graduate in 2019.  But it got me thinking that juniors are almost seniors and - BAM!  There  goes another year!!  So the class of 2020 is almost here and I usually book portrait sessions in the spring and summer before their senior year, so now is the time to start looking for the perfect photographer.  The first place to look is to see what your friends are doing.  Are they going to a friend to take their pictures.  Maybe mom has a nice camera.  Or the school has high volume portrait studios that come and take some quick snaps. 

Most people who come to me are the ones who REALLY want a special experience.  They want their portrait session to really be about them and not like and assembly line with cookie cutter poses and images.   I work with each and every teen who comes to me and find out about what they want their session to look like.  Do they have a hobby, a special pet, an epic location in mind.  Anything that will bring out their uniqueness and personality!  Something that you usually don't get with the high volume portrait studios. 

The question people usually ask themselves is, "Can we afford a true professional photographer?"  But the truth is, you can!  In fact, one of the local high volume studios offers a package of $750.  That's more than what I charge for digital files AND your portraits are going to be 100x more fabulous and your experience will be 100x more personal!

So before you jump the gun and go with a photographer that you think will be - cheap - easy - fast - etc, think about what your senior wants to have to remember his or her last year of high school.  It will be the last year they will be at home and really be young!  They're growing up fast and it's time to capture their youth before they go off to college and start adulting! 

I've been having so much fun with my 2019 seniors, but before you know it, it will be time to turn over the reigns to the class of 2020!!!!
