So here’s the big question: how do I help you absolutely NAIL your senior photos without any of the stress?
The secret is simple, and it’s all about the prep! The more prepared you are for your senior photos, the more fun and effortless your session will feel. And here’s the best part: I’ll guide you every step of the way. There’s no one like you, and your senior photos should reflect that.
Here are my top five ways to make sure your Chicago senior photo experience stands out from the rest:
1) Our First Call Is All About You
From the very beginning, I want to know what you’re dreaming of for your session. Whether it’s a downtown Chicago vibe, lakefront breezes, or hidden neighborhood gems, this call is where we start brainstorming ideas together. It’s also a chance to make sure we’re the perfect fit because your senior photos should feel like an authentic reflection of YOU.
2) Hair & Makeup? Handled.
The second you book, I get your glam squad on the calendar. My pro hair and makeup artists are incredible at what they do. Their job? Elevate your look while keeping you looking like the gorgeous 17- or 18-year-old you are – totally polished but still totally you. This means one less thing for you (or mom!) to stress about on session day.
3) The Ultimate Prep Guide
Once you’re officially booked, you’ll get access to my extensive prep guide for Chicago senior photos. This covers everything from skincare and nails to hair tips and the do’s and don’ts you may not have thought about. It’s basically your cheat sheet for showing up feeling confident, camera-ready, and stress-free.
4) Outfit Overwhelm? Not On My Watch.
Trying to figure out what to wear? I’ve got you covered. My prep guide includes ideas for clothes, shoes, and accessories. Plus, I’ll send you links to my Pinterest boards full of inspiration. Still stuck? Send me photos of your outfits, and I’ll help you narrow it down. My goal is to help you feel confident in every look you bring.
5) Chicago Location Guide = Gold
After photographing seniors in Chicago for nearly two decades, I’ve put together the ultimate location guide. From the iconic skyline views at North Avenue Beach to tucked-away murals and hidden gems, this guide helps you choose spots that fit your style and personality. And yes, I’m always adding new favorites to the list!
Bonus: Pre-Session Zoom Call
Before your big day, we’ll hop on a quick Zoom to go over your outfits, locations, and any last-minute details. It’s the perfect time to ask questions, make tweaks, and make sure you (and your parents!) feel totally confident heading into your session.
With all this prep work in place, your senior session will feel relaxed, fun, and 100% YOU. We’ll laugh, explore, and capture this milestone in a way that feels true to your personality and your story.
