Preparing For Your Senior Portrait Session

Step 1: Pick a session(s) that fits you.
Step 2: Have a credit card ready to reserve your time – your session payment is due at the time of booking.
Step 3: Call 630-960-1400 to set up your appointment.
Step 4: Plan your outfit(s) and get ready to have fun!

Your Attire

Change your clothing and props as much as you would like!  Your senior portrait is your time to shine so bring a wide variety of casual to dressy outfits. Be sure to bring complete outfits for full length shots – this includes accessories and shoes. We can help you choose which look will be best for the setting. All photographs purchased are professionally retouched at no extra charge.

Props

Feel free to bring props to your Senior Portrait session! Senior Portraits should represent who you are, so bring as many props as you’d like! Some popular choices are: Sports equipment such as a baseball bat or basketball, sports uniforms, any musical instrument from a tuba to a guitar, or anything from activities such as a leotard or dance shoes. Vehicles and motorcycles can come to the outdoor session.

Pets

Pets are OK as long as they are house trained. It is a good idea to have someone else bring the pet, then leave with your pet once they are done contributing to your portraits so they’re not a distraction during the rest of your senior portrait session. Another option is to bring a pet carrier to contain them while you are being photographed without them. Treats can be helpful to hold their attention!

Friends & Parents

We want you to feel comfortable during your senior portrait session, so feel free to bring a friend or parent if you choose!

Weather For Outdoor Portraits

If it’s forecasted to rain during your outdoor senior portrait session, we’ll have to reschedule. Don’t worry about clouds, but rain is a problem. We will contact you within 30 minutes or more of your scheduled start time if the weather is threatening.
