FAQ Friday - Boutique vs. School Photographer

Here are some reasons why you might choose to have your yearbook picture taken by the school photographer but come to me for your full portrait session: If you are looking for a more personalized experience and choose to have your pictures done by me then you have an unlimited amount of choices!  You would still keep your yearbook picture appointment with the school photographer during the summer and book your casual session separately with me. If you want your senior portraits to be part of a senior ad in the yearbook then you will want to book your session with me in the summer or just after school starts in August or early September.  The deadline for yearbook is typically the first week of October so pictures need to be taken at least 3 weeks before that deadline.  If your senior ad will be mostly baby pictures or phone pictures then you can book your session later when the temperatures cool off because you don't have to include your senior pictures in your ad.

When you have your senior pictures done by me I ask you about your style and interests and I tailor your session to what you want!  Maybe you want an urban setting, like Katlyn's in Atlanta or  Payton's session in Alpharetta, or a natural setting, like Madison's autumn session or Morgan's lake location.  You might have a location that is special to you and your family, like Natalie's in the mountains or Collin's session at Etowah's football stadium.  Maybe you want to try something really unique, like Savannah's at a Marietta paper mill ruin, Mikey's red, white and blue session or Elyssa's sunflower location. Planning your session just for you is one of the parts of my job that is so fun and I love finding new places to shoot!  

Below is a quick comparison of the differences between choosing the school photographer or choosing a more boutique and personalized session with me. I'm really looking forward to talking to you and giving you an experience you will love and be excited about!  Call me at (678) 637-7518 or send me a message on my contact page to tell me what kind of senior portrait session you'd like.
