Not Sure Which Session is Best? Start Here.
Every senior has a different vision for their photos, and that’s why I offer a few different session options. If you’re wondering how long to book, what’s included, or whether an After Dark add-on is part of your package, these quick answers will help.
Do all sessions include nighttime photos?
Not all sessions include After Dark portraits. Shorter sessions are daytime only, while the Ultimate Session is designed to flow from afternoon sunshine into sunset and nighttime for extra variety.
How many outfits can I bring?
It depends on your session length. A shorter session usually allows 2–3 outfits, while longer sessions give you time for 3–5 or more without feeling rushed.
How many locations do we visit?
Most sessions include 1–2 locations for variety. With the Ultimate Session, we can plan for up to 3 nearby spots and mix daytime and After Dark vibes in a single experience. But just because we’re at one ‘location’ doesn’t mean your gallery will look the same! Many of my favorite spots include a mix of green spaces, desert scenery, and urban backdrops—so no matter which session you choose, you’ll still end up with a wide range of unique looks.
How do I know which session is right for me?
Think about how much variety you’d like. If you want something simple and stylish in daylight, the Signature Session is short and sweet—but still delivers incredible quality. Want more time and outfit changes, but not really into the nighttime vibe? The Platinum Session is your perfect fit. And if you’re ready to go all out with both daytime and After Dark portraits, the Ultimate Session is the one for you!

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!
So many great options for your senior’s and their parents to chose from. I love that you are able to work with clients of all different budgets and give them all the amazing high quality images!
Hey Brandi! Creating custom artwork is one thing my clients love, then they don’t have to make those decisions by themselves. Decision paralysis and nothing gets done…we all know how that goes!
