Donโ€™t believe the hypeโ€ฆ professional pictures ARE important. Why? Cause senior year is what we like to call a โ€œlife eventโ€ stage. Meaning you cannot go back and do it over again.

๐Ÿ“ธ Newborn pictures, wedding pictures, and senior pictures are literally the only kind of portraiture that cannot be reproduced at a later date. Youโ€™re only a high school senior ONE TIME!!

Hiring a professional is so important to make sure that this time of your life is properly documented. Trusting just anyone with such an important task is a huge risk.

๐Ÿ“ธ Pro photographers know how to pose you, where the best light is, how to capture your personality, and so much more.

Not to mention that weโ€™re able to take high quality images that will stand the test of time vs some low quality, fuzzy pics that wonโ€™t make it the next 5 years.

Investing in professional senior portraits is worth every penny! If youโ€™re ready to commit to the most amazing professional senior portraits in the area, letโ€™s talk details! Iโ€™d love to work with you to capture this special year. Contact me via the contact form on my website and letโ€™s get your senior session booked today!

As much as spring is a favorite season for senior pictures, there are some issues you may run into during these pretty spring months.

๐ŸŒธ Timing can be tricky as youโ€™ll be entering a very busy season of pre-graduation festivities like: senior recitals, college visits, prom, spring break, etc.

This can make pinning down a session date difficult and make a needed weather reschedule even more problematic.

๐ŸŒธ Another issue related to timing is image & product delivery.

Editing your session images could take up to 3 weeks, and designing and delivery of any ordered products could take up to another 3 weeks on top of that.

So, if youโ€™re wanting to have custom grad announcements and products like canvases, albums, or signature wall art showcased for your grad party, keep that in mind when booking your spring session date and opt for an early spring date instead of a later one.

๐ŸŒธ Lastly, if you want to incorporate your college into your senior session...you likely wonโ€™t know until the Spring of your graduating year, so if that is a must for you, this season would be your go-to option.

If a spring session sounds perfect for you, youโ€™ll want to contact me and book your session in the fall / winter of your Senior year โ€“ aka RIGHT NOW!

*Remember that this is the most popular season to book, so dates will sell out quickly. Itโ€™s best to book this season as early as possible.

Tune back in next week for the finale with Part 3๏ธโƒฃ.

CLASS OF 2025 SENIORS: If you havenโ€™t booked your session yet and youโ€™re wondering what to ask a photographer so you can know if theyโ€™re right for you, check this out!

Hereโ€™s 4 questions you should ask a photographer before you hire:

1๏ธโƒฃ What is your client timeline? This way, youโ€™ll know how long between the shoot and your product delivery is!

2๏ธโƒฃ How far in advanced should I book my session? This will make sure that youโ€™re able to complete the client timeline without rushing.

3๏ธโƒฃ Do you offer a payment plan? This can help you pay for your experience over time instead of all at once!

4๏ธโƒฃ Do they provide assistance with preparing for your session? This answer should help you realize if your photographer can give you the look youโ€™re really looking for and make you feel comfortable the day of your session.

If you have ever wondered about these questions and more, I would love to help answer them! When you inquire with me about booking your upcoming senior session, I will schedule a pre-booking consultation with you and your parents so that we can meet and get all of the details about what you can expect as a VDP client!

I am currently booking for October, so make sure to connect with me asap!

How to wear FALL TONES like the FALL LEAVES.

+ If you're just dipping your toe into warmer tones like rust, burnt orange, mustard, and acorn brown, anchor them with a classic fall solid like black or camel.

+ Wear fall colors in print. Find a dress or romper with a floral print in the tones you're looking to wear.

+ Jump right in! Trade in your pastels for shades of leaves and rock them from top to toe! Personally, my entire fall capsule wardrobe consists of camel tones and leopard ... that's it.

So tell me, what is YOUR favorite fall hue to wear and how does it make you feel that it's officially time to start wearing it!!!

Senior session myth #1: OVERCAST SKIES arenโ€™t good for your session.

So not true! Wanna know a little secret? Itโ€™s my FAVORITE light to shoot in! Why? Because the colors that it produces are GORGEOUS! When sunlight fills a camera lens, it can bleach out the colors in the frame. So when itโ€™s overcast, the colors are super vibrant and true because there isnโ€™t any bright light to mute the tones!

I also love shooting in overcast skies because the weather is a bit cooler, the light is a bit moodier, and itโ€™s all around just plain fabulous! So if you wake up on your senior session day and itโ€™s a bit overcast, no need to worry! The light will be PERFECT for your senior pictures!

Quick: What would you do if you lost all your digital images?!? Think about it... all those times you pulled out your iPhone and took pics of you and your friends, just gone. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

They say that while this generation will be the most photographed generation in the history of the world, they will have nothing to show for it due to the fact that they donโ€™t print any of their images. PEOPLE. This breaks my heart. Technology changes. Digital files get lost. Digital pic quality fades. Print your photos... youโ€™ll never regret printing them, I promise.

Thatโ€™s why here at Von D Photography, weโ€™re product based so that our clients donโ€™t just leave with digital images but they also leave with printed products of their images that they get to cherish for years to come. Connect with me today so that we can capture your senior moments!

Elevate your senior wardrobe instantly, the best way to do that is with LAYERS. As fall is peeking around the corner, consider what kind of layers you can incorporate into your upcoming senior session fashion options:

cardigans

vests

tights

jackets

knee high boots

scarves

When dressing in layers, keep the following in mind:

๐Ÿ‚ Play with layer lengths: donโ€™t have all of your layer pieces end in the same line. Longer layers underneath shorter ones can create shape and elongate your body while shorter layers under longer ones can give you a super cozy fall look.

๐Ÿ‚ Compliment your colors: make sure that the shades and tones of your outfit are complementary and donโ€™t clash too harshly. You can always play up your outfit with fun pops of colors and patterns or stay super chic with monotone shades that highlight each other.

๐Ÿ‚ Vary your textures: keep your layers interesting by using different textures in your outfit. Leathers can cozy up with suede and wool while denim can be accented with linens and silks.

We are currently booking for FALL as we speak! Book one of our fall dates by connecting with me today!
