It depends... Senior Portrait session will usually take 2 to 4 hours with clothing and background changes. When you select a date for your photo session please allow 4 hours to be safe. Simple portrait session takes about an hour.

We are located in Caledonia, Michigan. About 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids.

There is no preset limit really. Usually it's 3 to 5. More than that will eat up too much of the session time. Make sure you bring a lot of extra clothing changes for Senior session. We admit, your favorite shirt might be cool, but trust us, you'll want a variety of photos to choose from. Bring clothes you are comfortable wearing, bring clothes you are uncomfortable wearing, bring formal clothing and bring casual clothing. While we want you to be yourself, give us some creative options to help make you look your best.

Don't forget shoes and accessories!

There are no preset poses, and no preset limits, except time. We'll do as many frames as necessary to find your good angles and work with your ideas.

Simple portrait session might result in 100 frames. 200 to 400 frames is usual number for Senior Pictures session. Split about 50/50 for studio and outdoors. Wedding is usually well over 1000.

Shortly after the photo shoot, you'll be invited for picture selection session. At that time we’ll review all the pictures taken, and pick what you want for your package. Every picture in your Portrait Session or Senior Package can be a different frame. You are not limited to numerous copies of same frame in different sizes.

Anybody under 18 should be accompanied by at least one parent. No exceptions. For those over 18, you still can bring along a spouse or a friend. For senior pictures - please keep your party to no more than YOU + PARENT(s). Generally, please avoid bringing along extra friends or relatives. It'll be distracting for you and boring for them. We don't have space to fit big waiting company, so they'll have to wait outside.
