Got Questions??
What should I wear?
I suggest 2-3 outfits plus any props you'd like to include. Think one casual, one dressy, and one "extra" outfit to showcase your passion, such as a football uniform, dirt bike gear, instrument, etc.
When choosing what to wear, pay attention to how you feel more than how you look. Confidence is key! And if you're still confused Hello Kitty tattoos always deliver...
Should I get my hair and makeup did?
Sure! If you're planning on coloring and cutting your hair, I recommend going to the stylist at least two weeks before your session so that you feel comfortable with your new 'do.
For makeup and styling, it's always good to do a dry run before the day of the session...especially if the stylist happens to be your little sister.
If you'd like hair and makeup recommendations, just let me know!
What should I bring to the session?
Your mom. She'll make sure don't forget anything else :) Dads are welcome too, of course!
What if it rains?
Or I get sick?
Can I reschedule?
Absolutely. It's friggin' Ohio after all. But in peak seasons, rescheduling may get tricky. If you stay flexible so shall I!
How do and when do I pay?
Do you offer any discounts?
To book your session and hold your date, pay a $100 deposit online with a credit card. Pay the rest no later than the day of your session with a credit card online or with cash/check in person.
I proudly support military and offer Active Duty, Veterans, Reserve, Guard, and their immediate family 10% sessions. Just let me know when you book and I will apply the discount to the session remainder.
When will I get my goodies?
For Story sessions, I typically have your gallery, story, and senior album ready in 4 weeks. For Moment sessions, it takes three weeks. However, in peak seasons, I may need 1-2 weeks more.
Shipping times for prints and photo products ordered directly from your Shop and Share Gallery vary, but typically, you should receive your order within 1-2 weeks. Senior albums take 1-2 weeks after sending to print. Don't worry; I will update you with our timeline as we go!
I am an artist too...
can I design my own cover?
I love a good collaboration, so the short answer is yes. The long answer is that my design process is very particular due to specific book dimensions, design software, and printing labs, so while you can definitely send me your ideas, drawings, and inspiration, I will need to create the final design.
Can I still purchase an album
if I book a Moment Session?
Certainly! Just keep in mind your album won't include your story, and you will have fewer images to choose from since the session is half the time.
Do you offer graduation announcements?
Yes! You can design and order directly through your Shop and Share gallery OR download your images from the gallery and order through any printing lab you'd like. Either way, you'll be able to get the word out!
Here I am class of 2002:
I am trying to smile without showing my braces. Don't I look mysterious?
The truth is, high school was not my prime. Those were not (thank God) the best days of my life. My senior year, I developed an eating disorder and crippling depression. I got pretty skinny, and the popular girls complimented me.
My real friends weren't as flattering...instead, they were there.
Even when I wasn't—when I was too busy drowning in my own demons and self-pity—my real friends saw in me someone I couldn't yet—someone worth loving, Someone who belonged.
By the time I got my braces off, it was already summer after senior year, and too late to do the whole senior pictures shebang. Tracking down my classmates to hand them signed wallets felt like a little much. Wish I could go back and tell that brace face not to wait until everything's straightened out and pretty to get her picture taken.
I'd tell her she looks better when she really smiles- even in all that metal glory!
Want to stalk each other and pretend we're best friends?
Me too!
