Your senior photos won't be like the traditional ones you've seen before. They'll be vibrant, artistic, and full of life, reflecting the energy and excitement of this milestone moment. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all sessions; instead, I tailor each experience to fit your unique style and preferences.
So, if you're ready to step in front of the camera as your true self, embracing every aspect of who you are, then you're in the right place. Let's create senior portraits that are as dynamic and unforgettable as you are.
Important note about the session fee: The fee covers the photographer's time and talent, including a 2-hour shooting window (allowing time for outfit changes) at 1-2 locations. Unlimited outfit changes for the senior are encouraged (3-4 suggested). Prints, images, and products are not included. The session fee is due at the time of booking to secure a session date.
- Unlimited phone calls/texts to help plan your session.
- Access to a what-to-wear guide and a curated Pinterest board for inspiration.
- I'm here to assist in the outfit selection process.
- A location guide to ensure we find the perfect spot to match your vibes.
- A Senior Questionnaire to deeply understand your preferences and goals for the session.
If you're in the Pittsburgh area and ready to explore my senior portrait packages, pricing, and the entire process, kick things off by completing the online contact form. Once submitted, you'll receive an automatic email providing the option to either book a session or schedule a phone call to discuss your specific needs further.
Once you're officially booked, the fun begins! As a Blu Hippo Photography client, you'll get exclusive access to a personalized portal filled with helpful resources—location guides, what-to-wear tips, and client questionnaires. This planning phase ensures your Pittsburgh senior photography session is tailored to your style and vision.
On the day of your senior session, we’ll meet at our chosen location in Pittsburgh or the surrounding areas and spend the next two hours capturing authentic moments and genuine expressions. Feel free to bring multiple outfits and share any creative ideas—this is a fun, collaborative experience designed to reflect you. Let’s make some senior photography magic together!
Around 10 to 14 days after our session, you'll receive an email announcing that your gallery is ready for viewing. This is the moment you'll witness the magic captured during our time together. Take your time to explore the gallery, relive the memories, and select your favorite images. It marks a pivotal step in our journey, as we work together to transform your vision into timeless and meaningful photographs.
If you're in search of the cheapest deal, I might not be the right fit, and that's okay. You deserve a photographer who aligns with your wants, needs, and budget. My passion lies in capturing families and seniors who appreciate the lasting value of meaningful, authentic photographs and creating outlasting memories.
