Our Process
Being photographed by a stranger? Paying for your photos before you see them and hoping for the best? No way! We understand that each senior is unique and we take the time to create the experience and the photo gallery that reflects that. We are FULL SERVICE, which means we are here to serve you every step of the way.
Dream it.
CONSULTATION: We begin with a chat to design your ideal senior session (usually at our studio in Clear Lake, Houston). We will help you decide what location works best for you, as well as offer advice on outfits, professional hair and makeup, what to bring, and more. You will also receive a Welcome Package with lots of information for your senior pictures.
Experience it.
PHOTO SESSION: The fun day! Your photo session will last about 1.5 hours and we will cover several locations within your selected area.
Choose it.
ORDERING APPOINTMENT: Within a week or less we will meet at our studio, where you will see your senior photos on a large screen and choose how you want to display them.
All of our collections include your complete digital gallery and a range of high-quality print products, such as albums, graduation cards, and gift prints. We print with top quality labs accessible only to professional photographers.
Enjoy it.
DELIVERY: Pick up your print order in 10 business days or less. Your digital images will be available within one day after the ordering session via an online gallery.
