My sessions are not time based but, on average, my gold package takes up to an hour. The platinum package takes about 1.5-2 hours. Diamond sessions take about 2.5+ hours. Associate sessions take about 1.5-2 hours. I (Elise) will also have a portable changing room tent to bring to the session for clients to change in.

A 50% non-refundable deposit (unless otherwise discussed) is required to secure your senior session on my schedule. The remaining session total is due at the day of the session by cash (Venmo accepted), check, or credit card.

The remaining session total for associate sessions will be charged by credit card at the day of the session.

Where are you based and how far out do you travel for a shoot?"

My associates and I are based out of Minneapolis, MN. We travel as far out as 20 miles from our based locations for shoots.

If you have a specific location request or idea of what type of location you want, you will communicate that with me or my associates. Sometimes seniors have a general request like a city or field location. Based on general preference, I have a ton of locations to take you to!

When it comes to the possibility of rain or other weather concerns, my policy is that if there is a 50% chance or rain or higher during the time we will be shooting, I will reach out to you to see if you’d like to proceed as scheduled, move to a different location (indoors or with cover), or reschedule. Here’s the important thing: since the weather changes so rapidly, we will wait until around 6PM the night before and up until 4 hours before our session to make a call! Trust me, I know it’s hard not to look until the night/hours before; but, I promise, 8/10, the weather will change a million times between now and then!

I have a no parent policy as by experience, the limited audience provides a less distracting and more comfortable atmosphere for the client to be photographed. If the senior prefers to bring a close friend, they may. FRIENDS are actually encouraged!! If a family add-on is booked, the session will start with the add-on and proceed after with the senior session.

Senior sessions take around 3-4 weeks to finish. Immediately following your session, you will receive an email with a link to a gallery of watermarked unedited images from your session. From there, you have a week to pick out your edits. Once I receive the image numbers you want edited, it will take me 2-3 weeks to retouch and edit. Then a second link will be emailed with access to download all your edited photos off a private gallery.

Each image is edited individually which includes the removal of face blemishes. However, sunburn, tan lines, bra straps, or any body image altering (slimming) is NOT included in editing.

YES!! Although you do get digital release to the images and are able to print at your own discretion, you can also print through me to make the process easier. I provide high-quality prints and print packages through the online gallery you receive. Ordering prints through me ensures top-quality while also saving time trying to print through third-party printing services.
