Color or black and white?

A conversation in one of my photography groups got me wondering what you all think. Most of my clients go with color, but a good black and white photo gets me every time.

Same senior photo, both ways.
What do you think? Comment BW or color.

Juniors, Class of 2028, this one’s for you.

I know. It’s only fall of junior year and senior photos are the last thing on your mind.

But I’m already getting inquiries for your class, and summer photo sessions open May 1, 2027.

They sell out fast. The VIP list gets first access, and I promise I won’t spam you.

Comment JUNIOR and I’ll send you the link.

I LOVED this session with .dunning Erika Dunning

New album sizes. New covers. Same goal: an album that feels 100% you.

These options exist so your senior photo album doesn’t look like a template. It looks like the one you actually pictured.

Different sizes, different covers, however you want to build it.

I’m obsessed with the new covers and I think you will be too!

Which color do you like best?

The wardrobe questions get all the attention. But this is equally important.

A few small things 3-5 days out make a real difference in how the photos feel, not just how they look.

Save this for your own senior photo session.

Ten different seniors and ten completely different personalities.

The same moment always happens, when they forget I’m holding a camera.

That’s when we get the shot.

Posing doesn’t come naturally to most people. My job is to talk you through it until it does.

This is what this looks like.

I get this question a lot, “Do you offer the digitals!”

And of course I do!

But don’t sleep on the album! This is what you’re really going to want.
Which is why it’s the most purchased item.

Digitals are great, but be honest, do you actually DO anything with them?

Some people call it analog, I call it a no-brainer.

I have so many senior photo session albums going out this week! I can’t wait to deliver them!!

Also - I’m LOVING my new packaging! Don’t you love a black & navy moment?! My friend Sarah Drake
designed this for me and I swoon everytime I tie the ribbon. 💕

Nineteen years of doing this, and here’s the truth: it’s not about how nice my camera is, or how big my lens is.

Most people think great senior photos come down to gear or luck.

It’s actually preparation, direction and listening to the senior in front of my camera.

Swipe through for what a real session looks like behind the scenes.

Comment LAUNCH to be the first to hear about future session openings.

Some things you don’t know until someone tells you.

These are all things that are included in your Chicago senior photo session with me:
Professional Hair/Makeup
Help with outfit planning
Posing direction for the entire session. (Especially what to do with your hands!)
An image reveal session where we get together in person and you see your images for the first time.

These aren’t add-ons.

Comment Launch to make sure you’re on my VIP list to get notified when my next round of senior photo spots open.

Senior photography icks I can’t get over.

“Act natural” is not posing direction.

“You’ll figure out outfits” is not prep.

A cookie-cutter location is not a photo session tailored to your kid.

And “here’s your gallery, let me know if you have questions” is not a client experience.

Your senior only gets one shot at this. The photographer you hire should act like it.

My fall dates will be launching in mid-July. If you want a senior photo session that is worthy of the milestone, comment LAUNCH and I’ll put you on my waitlist.
