Hello! We’re so glad you’re here. That means you’re thinking about your senior session — exciting! At JLP, every senior who books with us receives our exclusive JLP Senior Session Prep Guide mailed directly to you. This guide is packed with everything you need to feel confident and ready.
Senior Session Prep Guide: Timeline and What to Expect
Wondering how the whole process works? First, you’ll have a Zoom consultation, during which we’ll plan your locations and outfits. Then comes your big day—your senior session! About two weeks later, you’ll be invited back to view your images and start picking your favorite photo products.
If you want to learn more about what to expect from your session, check out our JLP Senior Photography Experience.
Style Tips for Your JLP Senior Session
Not sure where to start with outfits? Don’t worry! Our prep guide is filled with helpful tips on:
- Choosing a variety of looks and colors
- How to accessorize each outfit
- Shoes (pro tip: bring flats for walking, especially if you plan to wear heels!)
This guide will help you start thinking about your session style before our Zoom planning call.
Hair & Makeup Advice for Senior Session Day
To do or not to do professional hair and makeup? Our answer is a resounding YES! Why add stress on session day? Hair and makeup are included in our three-hour sessions. Our talented artist Angelina listens closely to you, ensuring you look and feel like yourself, just camera-ready.
