Preparing for Your Session

We will schedule a free consultation prior to your photography session to go over your wardrobe selections, props, hair and make-up.  Here are some things to consider.

Bring several changes of outfits.  Include an outfit that is trendy, something casual for location shots, as well as something your parents would just love to see you wear.  Be sure to include shoe changes, and accessories.   Hats are always fun.  Bring a few to play with –it’s an accessory and a prop!   Glasses are great too…  big jewelry… musical instruments… dance shoes… sports equipment…  the list goes on and on.  Your outfits, and your props add a lot to the finished product, and it’s always fun to have variety from which to choose.

Please be sure to have your clothes ironed and on hangers so we aren’t dealing with wrinkles.  It’s the little details in your preparation that make a tremendous difference.

You may want to have some photos taken with your hair down, and some with your hair up.  Be sure to bring hair pins, and hair ties to finish your look.  Also keep in mind, the wind can kick up on location, and you may need to tie back your hair.

Ladies, you will want to wear makeup as usual.  Please be subtle with the eyeliner. Be sure your make up is matte– no shine. Again, go with what feels comfortable for you so you can put your best face forward.

Remember, you always have the option of having a professional do your hair and make-up.  Often, this is money very well spent, so consider it carefully.  You will look and feel like a million bucks!

Senior Portrait Packages

It is important to understand, all sessions will be photographed by Christophe Genty, not an associate –nothing but the very best for your special day!  We have many different packages to consider when you plan your photo session to include every possible need you may have.

Etoile

Our most unique and highly specialized session will make you feel like a star for a day.  You will be dressed by a personal stylist just like a celebrity before a big event.  Your hair and makeup will be done by a professional artist, so you will be pampered and primped just like a princess.  It is a wonderful way to prepare for your photo session.  You will be relaxed, happy, and you will never look better!  Your senior portraits will highlight the many facets of your personality while reflecting your true inner and outer beauty.  This is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed!

Pas de Deux

This is an exciting way to share the price of the photo session, and share the memory with your BFF.  Your session is sure to be filled with laughter and fun.  Sometimes, it’s a little nerve-wracking to put your best face forward, but with the support of your best friend, it’s more relaxing, super fun, and you two are sure to have a day filled with wonderful memories.  You will have the opportunity to have your photographs taken separately and together.  What fun!  What a wonderful way to capture the life you two have shared.  It’s a blast!
