SUMMER senior pictures process
let's do this! What next?
From the very beginning she was willing to answer all my questions so quickly and made sure that I was completely ready for my shoot. The day of was even better, she was so sweet and made me feel incredibly comfortable. While listening to music and taking pictures Emily did an amazing job of making the entire experience something special that will forever be treasured. My favorite part was just being able to be myself, she made sure she that I was comfortable and confident the entire time. I loved that the entire photo shoot was completely personalized and exactly what I wanted it to be, Emily made my dreams come to life. Getting to see my preview photos so quickly was amazing, she worked so fast to get them to me, and I was definitely not disappointed. They were absolutely beautiful and so dreamy. I would 100% book with her again and would definitely recommend to everyone. My entire experience was so special and Emily was so so amazing, I’m so lucky she was the one to do my shoot.

Emily collaborated with Ava to really understand her personality by researching her Instagram and Pinterest boards which was a fun and empowering process. She suggested beautiful locations and delivered gorgeous images in a very short period of time. We could not have imagined how fun the whole process would be and will treasure these photographs forever. Thank you, Emily!”

Emily made me feel so beautiful and confident during my shoot! We talked the entire time which really made me less nervous and more calm in front of the camera. She understood the exact photos I wanted and checked with me throughout the shoot to make sure I was liking them, and that they were lining up with my vision!

She is well versed in posing, making you feel like a star, and everything in between (so no stress especially if you feel a little nervous in front of the camera). Her work is beautiful and I love my photos; I highly recommend Emily!”

I first found out about Emily through Instagram. I just absolutely loved her style of photos from the way she edits them to the amazing outdoor locations! Emily was so helpful for the entire process, from finding outfits and a location, to receiving my photos. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and my photos look amazing and very natural. One of my favorite things about my shoot was the location, which was on Mt. Hood. The really cool thing was that Emily was able to incorporate the mountain in the background so all together it just looks perfect! I would totally recommend her because of how great the photos turned out and how unique and personalized the photoshoot was. Communication was always very smooth with Emily. She helped with every step of the way, so I felt really good about the whole process. Overall, everything went so great with Emily and I couldn’t be more happy with how my senior photo experience turned out!

Frequently Asked Questions
do you offer payment plans?
when will I
receive my photos?
what if there is bad weather?
Ready to kick off your shoot? Get in touch!
Yes, I do! I’m always up for helping my clients out! After the initial 20% retainer fee to book your date, I’m extremely flexible with quarterly payments or monthly payments leading up to your session.
You'll receive your full gallery within 5-7 weeks of your photoshoot! + I deliver sneak peek galleries with 15 photos in 72 hours after your shoot!
It all depends on how bad - if it’s going to downpour and make you uncomfortable or ruin my gear, we will always reschedule. If it’s more of a misty/moody day, we will definitely still shoot! In fact the moodier and mistier weather can often create the most beautiful photos. Those overcast days are some of my favorite!
how will we receive the images?
how many images are included?
do you give us the raw photos?
I use a site called Pic-time to deliver all my galleries! After I've finished editing your photos, I will send over an email that will contain a link to your online gallery where you can access all of your images in web-size and high-resolution. You will be able to download them from there using a phone or a laptop.
The LOCAL session includes 70 images. The ADVENTURE package includes 100 images. The BIG ADVENTURE package includes 200 images.
No I do not send or share any unedited RAW photos. I own full creative rights to the images and therefore only deliver edited high res images.
