Seniors

A keepsake showcasing your authentic self

1. BOOKING AND
PLANNING

Take pictures, take your time celebrating, take it easy for a while—and then get ready to take on the world! This is such an exciting season of life, filled with new firsts and big dreams coming true. My goal is to capture your natural beauty, make the entire experience fun and relaxed, and ensure sharing your images is easy and enjoyable.

Senior sessions take place about two hours before sunset, during golden hour, for the most flattering light. Your grad formal session can be scheduled either before or after graduation day. I recommend reaching out one year before your senior year to get on my grad formals list—you’ll be contacted as soon as my books open, which is the best way to secure your spot.

Don’t forget about your grad casuals! These sessions can take place in any month you choose. Whether you’re dreaming of vibrant fall colours or tossing snow into the air, be sure to book five to six months in advance to ensure availability.

2. SESSION DAY

This day is going to be epic! We’ll start the session with family photos, then it’s time to focus on you. Sessions have a super relaxed vibe because I want you to feel like yourself the entire time. Don’t worry about a thing—especially posing. I’ll guide you every step of the way, and before you know it, you’ll feel like a total natural. Be prepared for lots of laughs as I capture you in the most genuine, authentic way.

3. GALLERY
DELIVERY

An online gallery of your proof images will be delivered within two to four days after your session. This gallery allows you to sit down with your family and select your favorite images and place your order—all from the comfort of your home.

Once the early deadline is met, your fully edited, high-resolution images will be ready within four weeks. These final images will be delivered in an online gallery where you can easily download your photos and will receive a print release for all personal use.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience with Vanessa. She did a beautiful job of capturing my graduation photos & the moment. She created a comfortable environment by being very friendly & keeping the conversation going. She has a great eye for finding beautiful, picturesque spots to shoot. She has a very welcoming presence that made me feel comfortable throughout the process & not at all camera-shy. The final pictures were absolutely beautiful. The care and dedication Vanessa puts forth shows that she truly cares about her clients & her work. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Testimonials

Vanessa came to our farm on a cold & windy late afternoon in May to take graduation photos of Mikayla. Vanessa never once complained of the cold or walking through the pasture, tall grass, junk, or running around the entire farm. When we got back to town she went to the gym to snap a few there too! She was a trooper. She captured the perfect picture over & over! It has been exteremly difficult to pick a favourite or even five favourites. Vanessa has a bubbly, fun personality & a great eye for detail! Thank you Vanessa for the great job! LOVE, LOVE all the photos!
