How far in advance should I book my senior session?

Most seniors book 4–8 weeks ahead. Spring and early fall fill quickly.

Where do senior portrait sessions take place?

You choose the location, or I can recommend UT Campus, Brushy Creek, Lady Bird Lake, South Congress, or your school campus.

Each package includes a different number of outfits, but you’re welcome to bring extras.

Do you help with posing?

Yes — I guide every pose so you feel confident and natural.
