Frequently Asked Questions

What does a session cost?

We offer 3 session types: 


SENIOR STYLE SESSION: $299 

SENIOR STYLE EXPRESS SESSION: $99

DESTINATION SENIOR STYLE SESSION: Quoted 


What is included in the Senior Style Session Fee?

The session fee includes an in studio consultation and tour, photographer's creative time during the session, access to the ever growing client closet for women and men (can be viewed at the consultation) preparation of images for presentation, and one ordering session. Once your session is booked, you will receive a complimentary Silver Bear Senior Digital Client Guide to walk you through the process. Session Fee/Creative Time is non-refundable, and due upon booking to reserve your session date. If the weather is uncooperative, I will reschedule or try to make the best accommodations as possible. Prints and products are sold separately. Prints begin at $50, wall art begins at $350 and albums begin at $1,000. Families on average spend $1,000 + between the session and products. 

What is included in the Express Session?

The Express Session is for Seniors who want something quick - headshot, yearbook image, etc. This 45 minute session is done right around the studio to minimize travel time and typically only allows one to two outfits.

What is a Destination Senior Style Session?

This photographer LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to explore new places and if the opportunity arises, I will travel for destination sessions. So far, I have traveled to the gorgeous beaches of Florida, the vast waterfalls of Pennsylvania, the urban scene of St. Louis, Missouri and the ever popular, Nashville, Tennessee. So, how does one go about booking a Destination Senior Style Session? Give me a call or send an email so we can discuss the logistics of what you are envisioning. It's more reasonable than you think and your Senior will definitely have the most unique images out of their graduating class!



Siblings?

I love seeing siblings come through the studio! Some of them already experienced what a session entails after watching their big brother or big sister. Each sibling that comes through will only have a $75 session fee and still have the access to the full Senior Style Session. 


Do you offer digital files?

We are definitely living in a digital age where images are buried in newsfeeds before the day is done. My goal is to create imagery and prints for your family to have for generations to come.  It is quite a different experience between scrolling through photos on a phone/laptop and holding an album in your hands. I do offer digital files but as a full-service studio, I will show you all the amazing products I offer and help you through the entire process from picking out the best in the gallery to finding the print heirlooms for your home and family.

Is retouching an additional cost?  
When you come in to view your gallery, approximately 10-20 images will have a full edit and the rest will be SOOC (straight out of camera).
A full edit is done on the images that are purchased.

How do we see the gallery after our session?

Approximately 1 week after the session, we will invite you and your family back to the studio to view the gallery. After viewing the gallery, we will go over our heirloom products and make selections for prints. 

What Forms of Payment do you accept?

We accept Credit Cards, Cash and Checks.
