The Senior Experience

The Consult

Once we've had our introduction conversation and you've booked your session, I will send you an email containing a Preparation Guide. It will have location ideas, a what to wear guide, and some ideas about how to get yourself ready. Then, two weeks prior to our session, we will set up another phone call to nail down your location choices and the outfits you've chosen. We'll cover all of the loose ends and your questions during that call.

The Shoot

We will meet at our agreed upon first location. I’ll help you ease in to posing like a champ! No worries, that’s why I’m there, to help you look your absolute best. The thing I want you to be confident about is that I am 100% there for YOU. I know just how to position you so that you look fabulous in front of my lens. And, best of all, we’ll have a ball doing it!

The Reveal

About two weeks after your sesh, you will receive an email letting you know the slideshow of your gallery is ready to view. The slideshow serves as your preview to help you make a decision about which Collection you’d like to purchase. You will have 24 hours to watch that slideshow as many times as you like before it times out. Then, when you are ready, your gallery will be open for a full month during which you can take your time downloading your digital images and deciding how you want to use your print credit in my online store.

Hi! I’m Shannon.

I am crazy in love with photographing seniors. I love coaxing the best, real you out and then photographing that! The goal is that you’ll be comfortable within a few minutes of meeting me and by the end it will feel like we’ve always been friends. I get SO excited watching it all unfold. I want you to leave your shoot feeling amazing about yourself and excited about what we’ve created together.

I am a non-stop talker and I absolutely love laughing. So, expect to be positive talked up to the clouds, and laughing the whole time. This is supposed to be fun and I will do just about anything to get the shot that makes you look incredible. It’s your day and your turn in the spotlight. I’m here to make it an amazing experience! Oh, and don’t forget to bring your besties along if you want! They can make everything a thousand times more fun.

Frequently Asked Questions

I shoot Monday through Friday in the summer at sunrise. There are many reasons I prefer mornings…cooler weather, lack of crowds, and social schedules. Trust me on this. Anyone can do a single morning, I promise!
Please see The Investment where all the details are explained. A session fee is due at booking to hold your spot and covers all of the preparation I will do with you to get ready for your session, the actual session and my post session work culling and editing your images. There are three collections to choose from to best fit your needs once you are ready to view your gallery. They range in price and products, starting at $950 and going up from there. Each collections contains a certain amount of digital images and print credit.
The amount of images can vary from shoot to shoot, but in general, the final image count could be anywhere from 30-50 images per session.
Yes! I do. The amount of digital images you receive depends on which collection you choose. We will discuss this in our initial call, and I will send you plenty of information and we will discuss this many times before you choose so you know which collection works best for you!
The earlier the better for best date choice! I often book out months in advance and I'd hate to miss the opportunity to work with you! Summer sessions open by March for Seniors.

Our journey together begins with a phone call. During that call we will get to know each other a bit and you will hear about my process and my collections. At that point I will send you an email with a booking link so that we can get your session on the books!
