Senior Pictures — From One Mom to Another

Sure — senior photos are exciting for your rising senior. They get to feel special and mark this time in their life for years to come. But from one mom to another, I’ve learned that these headshots are just as much for us moms as it is for our seniors. I had a senior a few years ago, and I smile everyday that I look at my son’s pictures as I go down the stairs. Moms, let me assure you, it’s my passion to give you senior headshots that show the side of them that only you know. It’s not every day your little one prepares for their final year of high school and you deserve some memorable senior pictures, taken by a PRO, before they go off to college. This is the time in their lives (and your life) when high quality pictures matter most. Your senior deserves to celebrate and preserve this time in their life, and so do us moms.

Senior Pictures — Mission Statement

Our Mission is to hold your hand throughout the process and walk you through every step. You will never hear, “here are 100 un-edited digital files, go figure it out”. We pledge to include the items we know you will need and love in what we call the “Core 4“, created artfully by a PRO. We will never nickel and dime you with only “a la carte” options or pushy sales techniques, and we will be completely transparent with our pricing. We believe less is more, so you will see only the best and not be forced to pick from 100’s of photos. We promise to blow you away with your package treasures to include our top rated, Core 4 CLIENT-FAVORITE items. We won’t force you to UPGRADE just to get a few more poses, or make you feel like it’s been a “bait and switch”. We guarantee that we only work with PRO labs, not accessible to consumers, so we will celebrate WITH you when you see the products you receive. And yes, we promise to also include a few select digital files (we get it, and we know you’ll want to share on social media, create graduation cards with them, and make some small prints). And lastly, we promise not to hold your digital files hostage, as we know you may want to purchase them to safeguard them in case of loss/fire.

Senior Photography – Time for a PRO

These days, just about anybody can get good photography equipment. You probably have a friend who’s snapped some pretty good senior photos… and has a really great camera. But let’s get real…senior headshots happen ONCE. Let’s get this right.

What do Senior pictures and your wedding have in common? Those are the two times in your life when a “friend with a camera” – talented as he or she might be – isn’t gonna cut it. For those once-in-a-lifetime events, you need one-of-a-kind pictures. You need a professional.

Kelly Weaver Photography knows things your camera-wielding buddy doesn’t. How to get the “wow” factor. How to pose you for the most flattering image, no matter what your body type. Lighting… camera angles… what to do to optimize the images after they’re taken. And how not to make you look twenty pounds heavier! (That’s a common boo-boo among amateur photographers.)

Kelly Weaver Photography does things other Senior photographers don’t… Because senior pictures hold memories, we “inject” memories into your session. Before that “last shot”, we will have you savor this time… your Senior year. Now every time you see that image, you will be thinking about this special year.

What can our PRO studio do that others can’t? We will design and deliver the perfect trio from your session. Over the years the storyboard has proven to be a CLIENT FAVE, so you can look forward to YOURS included in your senior photography package.

NEW for our Class of ’22 girls – PROM DRESS Sessions!

We know many of our girls did NOT get to show off their prom dresses, so we’ve created this session for each of YOU!! Each of our gals will feel like an absolute PRINCESS at our new studio, dancing, and twirling AWAY! Our NEW studio is just FILLED with beautiful, white, gorgeous window light. The dresses will sparkle and so will our girls! Let us know if you are interested in the package that INCLUDES this session!

We include what we call the “Core 4” in EVERY package:

Every senior will receive the CORE 4 items in ALL of our packages. What does that mean? We know you will want something for your WALL, something PRO printed (that only we can get you), some prints to SHARE with family and friends and a select number of digital files for graduation announcements and for social media. So we just GIFT you all these items in your package. When you come to the order session, there’s no HIGH pressure video or sales presentation to make you feel like you have to buy more. Rather, we just fill the package with everything included. You just get to pick what you love, and it’s INCLUDED, It’s awesome.

Senior Headshots – Feeling Nervous?

We “get it”… it’s not always easy to be in front of a camera… in fact, 90% of our seniors say they’re at least a little nervous or subconscious about getting their Senior pictures taken. We all have those “things” that bug us (they WON’T be an issue in your senior pictures!).

Connection with your senior photographer is KEY to creating pictures you love. At Kelly Weaver Photography, we will help you feel completely relaxed. We do that by engaging you in the process.. even SHOWING you the images as we go!

Before your senior photography session, we will ask you a series of questions so we can create common ground and connect on a personal level. As we talk to you about your favorite movies, what SHOES you like to wear (yes, we can tell a LOT about you from your SHOES) and what you are excited about, you will start to relax…

We photograph quickly – no hours-long sessions – because our experience means we know what’s going to work. Just look at our Google reviews… many an initially-nervous person found a fun, pleasant experience with us!
