The Senior Experience

You want to look absolutely incredible for your senior pictures and have the best time doing it.

So let’s make you look stunning, and have a ton of fun, too! At our consultation, we’ll plan your session together. We’ll talk outfits, check out all the popular locations around Metro Detroit, and find the spots that match your vibe. I’ll show you some of the industry’s highest quality of print and product options because those photos of you deserve to be shown off (and your parents will totally love them too). Plus, you’ll get the digital copies of whatever you’re purchasing for sharing on social media and graduation invitations. Win, win! When session day rolls around, get ready for all the fun that we’ll have. You’ll warm up to the camera in no time and feel like a superstar as I capture your best moments. I can’t wait to work with you and make this milestone unforgettable. Let’s jump in!

Class of 2025, it is now your turn to book senior portraits!

How does it all work?

Three steps to creating your finely crafted senior portraits…

  • FINALLY, it’s senior year and you want to capture this amazing moment in your life. You want it to be perfect and planned to fit your personality and style but you’re not really sure about all the details. I’m here to walk you through the process and experience, while making it stress free AND enjoyable for you! At your complimentary consultation, I’ll show you several examples of locations, we’ll chat about recommendations of what to wear (and not to wear!) and get our date on the calendar. Additional questions like, what is the best time to take the pictures, should I get my make-up done, where should we park, and more - the guesswork is taken care of at the consultation, and you (and your parents!) will feel more than ready and pumped for your senior pictures!

  • You’ve hired a pro, so relax and enjoy the session! No need to worry about posing; I’ll guide you with prompts and tips to get the most natural and candid shots. Within 15 minutes, you'll be rocking the poses and totally into it. You've worked so hard to reach senior year, and today is all about celebrating your achievements. Ready to have the best time?!

  • Within a week, we’ll have you back in the studio for your Viewing and Ordering appointment. This is when you'll finally see the much-awaited photo proofs from your session! You'll choose your favorite images, which I'll then fully and professionally edit (goodbye, acne). With my help, you'll pick the images you love, prints for your home, wall art to hang, and albums to cherish. Plus, you'll get the digital files for the images you select because I know you want to show off your senior pictures on social! I've partnered with the best printers to give you museum-quality pieces.

    I want this to be an unforgettable experience for you! From providing all the information you need and custom session planning to delivering gorgeous products and images, enjoy what we create together.

Let’s talk! Inquire here and I’ll send you more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SENIOR SESSION?

I suggest contacting me 2-3 months in advance for when you want your senior session to take place, especially if you want a September - October date. I try to leave a few dates open each month, though, so if you are late to the game, don’t hesitate to contact me!

02. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

You can see the pricing details on the Investment Page here!

03. I’M SO NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WILL YOU TELL ME HOW TO POSE?

Absolutely! I’ll give you gentle guidance and posing instruction the entire time! And I love to capture movement in photos, so we don’t do those awkward stand and smile at the camera poses (ok, maybe one for grandma).

04. HOW MANY OUTFITS CAN I BRING?

I recommend 3 outfits, as it gives you a good variety of looks with casual, dressy and somewhere in between.

05. WILL YOU HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT TO WEAR?

Yes! We will discuss recommended outfits, colors and accessories at your consultation so you aren’t left trying to figure it out on your own.

06. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I WANT MY PICTURES TAKEN.

I’ve got you covered! I have a Location Guide with examples that we will cover together at your consultation to see what catches your eye and suits your style!

Testimonial

“From the beginning Chelsie was kind and quick to respond, her availability was very flexible especially for a busy family. Her studio is welcoming and gorgeous. She had wonderful insight on the best place to take the photos and which outfits would pair well with the scenery. For the actual photo session Chelsie was AMAZING, she didn't rush us and included some spur of the moment photos. The quality of the photos came out beautifully, her editing skills are beyond anything I have ever seen. She also offers many options for prints. I would recommend her to anyone looking for any family or senior photo session. She is beyond a five star review.” - Jen S.
