Gold Package ($1550)
The Gold Experience is designed as a uniquely styled, signature senior portrait journey! Your session begins with a $600 merchandise credit applied from the initial retainer, along with a personalized planning session over coffee or ice cream-my treat! This experience allows for multiple locations and outfit changes, followed by a scheduled private gallery reveal and ordering appointment to select your favorite images and products. You'll also receive a complimentary spring cap-and-gown mini session to beautifully complete your senior year story.
*Products include: Finely Edited digital images, 5 x 7 prints of each personally selected image, and an 10 x 10 professionally designed linen covered album. Additional wall art and table art are available for design and purchase.
Silver Package ($1300):
The Silver Experience is similar to the Gold Experience, with a designed and unique portrait session. Your senior experience begins with a $600 merchandise credit applied from the initial retainer and a thoughtful planning consultation over coffee or ice cream (my treat) will follow. This session also includes 2 locations and several outfit changes. Once the session is complete, a gallery reveal and ordering appointment will be scheduled to select your favorite images and products. Similarly to the Gold Experience, you will also receive a complimentary spring cap-and gown mini session to finalize your senior year!
*Products include: Finely edited digital images, 5 x 7 prints of each selected image, and an 8 x 8 professionally designed linen-covered album. Additional wall art and table art are available for design and purchase.
Simply Senior Package ($500):
The Simply Senior Experience is a refined 30-40 minute session designed for those who desire something beautifully effortless without the need for an extended session. We'll begin with a personalized telephone planning consultation, and a $100 sitting fee secures your reserved date. Sessions are held in the scenic Cedar Creek area-featuring waterfalls, lakes, bridges and winding trails-or within a softly lit nearby field. Following your session, you'll be invited to view an online proofs gallery to select your favorite digital portraits. Once selections are complete, each chosen image is artfully and professionally retouched before being delivered to your private online gallery, available for download.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who are your clients? My clients are busy people that love to push pause on their hectic lives and find time to celebrate precious memories and expressions of love. They appreciate quality images that depict the season of life that they are experiencing. Most of all, my clients value the gift of preserving their legacy, passing down priceless images to their children and future grandchildren.
2. Is your style candid or posed? My style is a balanced combination of both candid moments and posed shots. While it is important to capture traditional photos, I love the ‘in-between’ moments, where the real smiles appear!
3. Where do you shoot? Sessions typically take place outdoors in or around the Kansas City area or in your comfortable, meaningful place. I also have my favorite spots and can recommend locations after you cast your vision for your dream session!
4. What should we wear? I absolutely love helping my clients choose their outfits - it’s like piecing together a beautiful mirage of color and style in combination with their beautiful surroundings. We will meet before the session and you can show me your outfits and "the look" you are going for! We can also message back and forth photos and collections of clothing tips and tricks.
5. What happens if we get rained out? Who can predict KC weather?! Don’t worry, I keep a number of backup dates open in case of bad weather. There is not charge to reschedule a new date if it’s raining!
6. What if I’m not photogenic?! You aren’t the only one that believes that and it’s never true! I have lots of tricks up my sleeves to help you look fabulous, starting with having a great time! I promise you that!
7. Do you offer digital files? I believe that you should be able to print and share all of your purchased images as many times as you like!
8. How long will it take to receive my images?
At your photo session, we will schedule a gallery proof viewing, taking place a week from that date. After you select your photos, I will finalize the editing, order the prints and burn a flash drive with your photos. I also have an array of products that I design, such as albums, table art and wall art you can order that day. The total turnaround time is usually one month!
9. What can I do to help the session go smoothly? The BEST thing you can do is to let go and enjoy! I know it’s hard not to be stressed before your session, but you can trust that I completely understand and we will work together to create gorgeous images! I want your pictures to be amazing and will do all the hard work for you! Your only job is to relax and have fun!
