Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY SESSION?

• All outfits and any needed accessories (think through jewelry, hair, shoes, etc. for each outfit). I recommend hanging the clothes when possible to prevent wrinkling.

• Any props that you want included in your photos (sports equipment, instruments, flowers, books, etc).

• A comb/brush for any hairstyle changes or quick fixes (hairspray is also a good idea!).

• Make-up for any touch-ups needed.

HOW WILL I CHANGE DURING MY SESSION?

I bring a pop-up changing tent to every session so that you can just change wherever we are at during your session! I also have a wagon where we can put all of your things so that we don’t have to go back to the car at each outfit change.

CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME ON THE SHOOT?

Yes! You should have at least one parent accompany you for your session. If you have a bestie that wants to tag along, I am okay with that, too! Let’s have some fun while we capture you at your best!

DO YOU PROVIDE HAIR AND MAKEUP SERVICES?

Hair & Make-up is a great way to feel your best for your session! I am happy to work with you to get that set up as an add-on for your session.

WHEN WILL MY PICTURES BE READY?

A typical turn-around time is 2-3 weeks. During busy seasons, it may be on the longer end of that, but I will always let you know what timeline to expect at the end of your session and I try my best to get your gallery to you quickly! If there is a yearbook timeline that is close, I will work with you to select that photo first so that I can get it to you before editing the rest of the session.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MY SESSION FEE?

My sessions are all-inclusive—no hidden fees or required purchases afterward.

You get a full collection of professionally edited, high-resolution digital images delivered through a private online gallery with unlimited downloads. Print, share, or use them however you like—for announcements, social media, or family keepsakes.

Simple, transparent, and focused on celebrating your story.

CAN I SHARE THE PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM/ETC?

YES! Please don’t add any filters or crop beyond what is needed for the app. And, please tag @joyfulstoryseniors!
