When it comes to scheduling your senior portrait session, I have several different options, including everything from that quick 20 minute photo shoot to a 3 hour shoot that includes several outfit changes and even pictures after dark!
Which Portrait Session is Right For You?

With these changes, everyone can afford beautiful, high quality senior portraits with Magical Memories by Michelle! Which portrait session will you choose?
I love that you have senior portrait session pricing for everyone! Great packages for every high school senior and their family!
Thanks Jodi! I’m excited for all the new changes this year!
Photosession packages can be confusing but you offer not only clear information upfront but lots of choices for students and their parents to choose from. From the budget friendly to the ultimate experience. It is nice for students to know they will get the same professional quality from you in all of their sessions. Great resource for potential clients looking for senior photography in Phoenix~
Hey Andrea! here are so many options and I hate the idea of someone hiring me without understanding how my portrait sessions work. I’m glad you think it is easy to understand! Thanks for taking time to comment!
You seriously have options for every type of client and every budget for your senior portrait sessions! I love all your options!
Hi Brandy! Last year I had turned away quite a few clients that wanted high end portraits but didn’t have the time or budget for my sessions, so I’m really hoping this will help everyone!
Great options for senior photography sessions. Something for every budget!
Thanks Candace!
