Frequently Asked Questions

Each session includes personalized planning, custom prompt cards to help you loosen up and have fun during the shoot, a set of Polaroids to keep, and a full gallery of bold, expressive images that actually feel like you. Every senior gets my full attention, creative brain, and a totally low-pressure experience from start to finish.

Anywhere that feels you. That could mean downtown Austin, a dreamy wildflower field, your high school’s bleachers, your favorite coffee shop, or your own backyard. I help choose locations based on your style and story.

It depends on the package you select, but most seniors opt for the 1.5-2.5 hour package depending on their needs. But no matter what you choose, I am there to make it fun and capture natural moments.

Whatever makes you feel confident, comfortable, and like the coolest version of yourself. I’ll help you pick outfits that photograph well and show off your personality. You can also check out my prep guide and client wardrobe for ideas..

Absolutely! I always suggest bringing someone along, whether it’s your best friend, your mom, or your dog, especially if it helps you feel more comfortable. Just a heads up: whoever comes with you might end up in some behind-the-scenes photos (no pressure, but also… you’ve been warned). If you’re planning to bring a pet, I have a whole post with tips you can read here!

You’re not alone! Nearly every senior tells me this and by the end, they’re laughing, dancing, and forgetting the camera is even there. That’s because I’ve developed a prompt system that provides actions and movements so your images feel natural and full of life. I have a whole post with tips you can read here!

Don’t worry, we’ll reschedule! I leave wiggle room in my calendar because Texas weather is basically Cartman in cloud form: “Whatever, I do what I want.” Rain? Wind? Random cold front in October? I’ve got you. I’ll keep you posted and we’ll find a new date that works.

I don’t include it automatically, but I have trusted artist referrals if you’d like to add it on. Some seniors go pro, some do it themselves… it’s totally up to your style and comfort. When you book, I send out their information for you in case you’re interested.

I recommend booking 2–3 months in advance, especially for peak seasons like spring and fall. But if you’re last-minute, reach out anyway… I might have a spot!

Your full gallery will be delivered within 2–4 weeks, and never more than a month. I’ll keep you updated the whole way. Before I send your gallery, I’ll check in to make sure you’re not mid-grocery run or deep in a Netflix binge… trust me, these photos deserve your full attention. Once you’re ready, you’ll get a private link to your gallery where you can relive the magic, pick your favorite images, and choose the package that fits best. All packages include digital images, and some come with keepsakes like a custom album. You can also order prints, wall art, and grad announcements straight from the gallery.
