I am so excited that you have chosen me to be your senior photographer! I can’t thank you enough for your business! This is such a huge time in your life and choosing to document it in such a way will be such a treasure! We are going to have an absolute blast at your senior portrait session! I can’t wait! When I had my senior pictures done, I went with the studio contracted with my high school. I didn’t have a lot of choice over how it went and that definitely showed in my pictures. They looked like the rest of my friends’ pictures and weren‘t very special. I hope to give you an experience of a life time for your senior pictures!
Read this whole guide {that's right the WHOLE thing. I promise its quick! and make sure to do the style survey questionnaire 4-6 weeks before your session
Plan your wardrobe using the style guide and the KHP style closet. Send images of you in your clothes.
Set your consult- we will go over all wardrobe, set location, and confirm start and end times.
** A final timeline will be sent for the DAY OF SESSION AFTER the style consult
**To use the style closet- log in, and heart anything you like! I can see it on this end. It is constantly being updated so keep checking back.

SHOULD I SPRAY TAN? HMM, IF ITS YOUR FIRST TIME, NO, TRY IT BEFORE YOUR SESSION. SPRAY TANS CAN LOOK VERY ORANGE ON CAMERA, SO GO LIGHT, AND USE SOMEONE YOU TRUST! ERIN WHO WE USE FOR HAIR & MAKEUP DOES A GOOD JOB.
