Information On Senior Portraits!

Your high school senior only graduates once from high school. I offer an amazing high school senior experience. This is a "good enough" world. Fast and cheap is sad but true. While some people are completely content with taking senior portraits on their iPhone, I offer something above and beyond a crappy image from a phone and your kid leaning against a tree or fence.

Ask yourself these questions:

Doesn’t your child deserve better than “good enough”? Ill give you the best!
Do you want the most to choose from? I deliver more photos than any other professional studio photographer. If you get a package that offers high resolution digital files in the package? Its nothing for me to deliver 200-300 images to keep that are print ready. I tweak every single file and make it look beautiful!
Do you want the absolute best lighting? ( I shoot with lighting on every shoot. I am not a "natural light shooter" "Natural light shooter" = Photographers that don't know how to light.
Do you want the absolute best color in your portraits? I will give you that. That is the number one comment that I hear. "The color is amazing!" I don't do the "brownish red" images that will be a fad today on Instagram but will be outdated next month. Kind of like the "fish lips" everyone was doing for a while. You'll hate it later.
Do want something to hold in your hands? A printed print that is mounted and sprayed to protect it ? I can give that to you. (Those cheap labs? Their prints will fade very quickly. They are not made with the highest quality.
Do you want your senior portraits to have awesome backgrounds and posing that other photographers don't do? I will give that to you.
Do you want your photographer that does continued education year round and have the latest and best equipment and techniques to achieve the best images possible? I do that several times a year.

I am a FULL Time Professional Photographer. I'm not a mom with a Christmas camera. You will get my best work I can do every time. It is not practice for me. I don't get nervous. I give results.

All my Senior Portrait Pricing is available here on line. Some photographers will not show their pricing on line. I have nothing to hide and want you to know exactly what you are going to get. My complete prices or the prices of the prints in this Senior Portrait Section, I never want you to feel shocked at the total price you will feel forced to pay. You may even feel remorse for what you just purchased and it actually takes away from the beauty of the photos and fun of the experience for your senior. The best way to save the most money is do the session early. I do run specials earlier in the summer and sometimes later in the year but never during fall leaves peak or after school. I am so busy in October that I do not need to discount the price. I would love to be your photographer for years to come!

Before booking, if you would like to come to my studio meet me and look at the portraits and products please call me and make an appointment before you make a decision please let me know. 304 669-9900. The difference in our print quality is significant.

If you are a miserable complaining hard to get along with person? I'm probably not your man. Life is too short.

The Difference

Any printed photograph you purchase are what we refer to as final prints are mounted to a hard board, with a sprayed protective coating and professionally retouched. This includes whitening of teeth and any redness in the eyes will be gone along with any blemish such as scratches and insect bites, tan lines, red areas that are just not supposed to be there. This is included in the price of print. The nice thing about this is they will look exactly like they are only better. Some photographers run an action/ filter that just masks the portrait problems. They do it globally and the portrait looks like a porcelain doll. This looks horrible and they do it because its fast and cheap and frankly they either don't want to spend the proper time retouching the image properly or frankly don't care. "Good enough" They are hoping you don't know the difference. Here is a photo that shows the difference between our image presentation for delivery.

I never want to be a "good enough" photographer.
