Graduation & Highschool Portraits

When you are at a milestone like your senior year and graduation, and you need your pictures taken, having a nice stress-free photo session and outstanding portraits out of it feels so great!

I'll be totally available to listen to which style you would like and we can share ideas before and during the shooting! If you prefer, I can suggest to you the poses to look great...the only thing up to you is to smile and enjoy your time!

Let's book your photo shooting, and doesn't need to be necessarily the senior year to have your photos taken by a photographer... Teens should have this kind of boost of confidence in themselves during all their school years!

Tips for choosing which collection works best for you: 

 

The Jade Collection is the more convenient option for you if:

- You need essential pictures only (a Mini session)

    ....as a keepsake of a milestone

    ...or just to celebrate the love between you and your loved ones

    ...or maybe you need some photos for holiday cards

    ...or want some photos to frame and keep in your home,

    ...or to make a gift to grandparents or other relatives 

 

Just notice that this is meant to be a Mini session, so shorter than a full session,

so is less flexible/convenient if you think of upgrading later to more pictures.

You can select 5 main favorite photos from the gallery preview,

and I'll send you those, edited, along with other 5 variations of them.

You can still add more different pictures to this package with the à la carte rates as adds-on,

but The Silver Collection may be a better fit for you if...

​

The Silver Collection may be a better fit for you if:

- you are thinking of a classic photosession, that combines convenience and results in a flexible time

- you want to receive a good amount of photos 

- you want to take your time to get a variety of poses and candid shots

- maybe you want to try a couple of different looks/outfits

   or a change of background walking around the park/the city/the chosen location

- you need flexibility of timing (30 minutes at least is suggested to achieve good results,

  but I'll be more than happy to give you 1 hour or even more to get comfortable

  and have fun taking confidence in front of the camera as we move along!)

 

For Events and Newborn sessions, this is the collection I would suggest to start with.

The Jade Collection is available if you need the essentials only or if you are on a budget,

but in many scenarios, the Silver Collection will fulfill your expectations better!

 

The Gold Collection is the best option if:

- you want to receive many many photos!

- you want to take more time to get a wide variety of poses and candid shots

- maybe you want to try more different looks/outfits

  or a change of several background walking around the park/the city/the chosen location

- you are part of an extended family

  and you want to get within the same session all the possible combinations of family shots!

- you need flexibility of timing (1 hour at least is suggested to achieve good results, but I'll be more than happy to give you    90 minutes or even more to get comfortable and have fun taking confidence in front of the camera as we move along!)

Why is there a selected number of pictures? Can I just have the pictures taken during the session without the editing?                         

​When you hire a professional, you want to be certain of a good outcome. With packages that include the selected shots, you can be more sure of the value and quality of the product you purchase. Selected photos mean that you will have the vantage of the Quality over Quantity formula. The photographer will have more time to work on every single picture, with all those little adjustments that transform a snapshot into photography. Editing is a fundamental part of the process, necessary to obtain the look that you see and search in professional photos. Every photographer has his/her own standards and I do value an accurate editing on each singular photo, so I do not just apply standard presets to the gallery. This care of details is translated in time of post-production, so your investment is proportioned not only to the time of the photosession, but also to the time necessary to deliver to you a final, professional product.   

 

 Nonetheless, if you like the pics in the preview as they are and/or you are on a budget, I am available to offer photos with basic adjustments only, at a lower price than the normal add-on ones, if the unedited photos match standards of quality already (example: good natural lighting, tidy background). My main goal is that you will be happy with the pictures received and their value.

​

Photographers usually do not release the raw (aka "Out of Camera") photos because they are, as the name says, "raws": nor do they shoot directly in JPG, because they want to have control over the file that years of practice and their expertise allow them to manage. To put this in a contest, an example is a common scenario: if you go to a nice restaurant, you want and expect the chef to prepare and cook the meal for you, you do not want grocery bags of raw food or a frozen meal on your plate. You want to treat yourself to the experience of a special, handmade dinner. So, be assured that by hiring a photographer who cares for the details, you are investing in a final artistic product and that you will receive photos elevated from the normal snapshot, with the value that professional and tailored editing adds to your photos.

​

Who selects the best photos? Can I pick my favorites to be edited within the investment of the package purchased?

​

Yes, if you purchased Silver or Gold options, you can pick your favorite photos of the session from the online gallery preview, and I will edit those you like most. (For the Platinum options all the good pics are already included).

For the Minis (Jade option) you will already see a preselection of the best shots in your online gallery as a preview.

The full gallery for Minis will be released if you decide to upgrade the package after having seen the preview.

If you prefer, I can always make a selection of the best one for you, and I will take care to provide you with a good variety of pictures according to the session - the best ones for each different setting.
