What Makes YB Seniors Different?

next perk

Before we ever take a photo we provide our seniors and parents with access to our Client Hub - a collection of articles, lists, tips, and our What to Wear Guide. We cover everything, so there is no last minute panic packing or choosing outfits! Young & Brave Seniors are confident and prepared for their session.


And we can shoulder as much or as little of the planning process as you like. We can completely take care of it for you, or work with you to plan the perfect session for you and your senior.

Pre-Session Planning & Prep

#2

Professional Hair Styling & Makeup

Before your senior's session, our hair and makeup artists will meet them in our studio and take care of everything. They can do whatever your teen wants, even if it is a minimal, "natural" look.

We want to make everything as easy as possible for you and your senior, and not having to worry about hair or makeup really makes getting ready so much more stress free.

#3

The Graduation Gala!

Every year we celebrate our seniors with a graduation party! It's a formal event where they can dress up one more time and have fun with their friends - or even make new ones! We have DJs and caterers that we work with for good music and great food!

This is a Young & Brave Seniors' exclusive event! We send tickets to all of the seniors that we have worked with over the past year, and we even give away prizes! It's a lot of fun!

Upleveled Custom

Custom Art & Album Delivery

Fill out our contact form and let us know who you are and what ideas you have for your senior's shoot! We will send you the full details including available packages.

Once you know which package you are interested in, we will send you an invoice for the session fee and a contract. After those are taken care of we will reserve a mutually agreed upon date on our calendar for the session.

This is where the real fun begins! After the date for the shoot is set, we will send your teen a welcome packet in the mail as well as an email with next steps. They will also get access to our Client Hub, which has LOTS of information to help them prepare.

As we get closer to the date of the shoot, we will reach out to schedule an in person or FaceTime planning session where we can discuss outfits and locations. You can be as involved as you want to be in this part of the process - we can do it all or work with you!

The day of their session, your senior will arrive at our studio approximately one to two hours before their session for hair and makeup. As soon as they are ready they can change in our studio and the shoot begins! 

We encourage all of our moms to attend the shoot, but we understand if that just isn't possible. Your senior is also free to bring a friend if they like. There will always be at least two employees of Buie Photography at each shoot. Usually there are three of us - two photographers and one of our assistants. We are a whole hype squad by ourselves!

After the session your senior will receive a package in the mail with a some goodies as well as a copy of our "Gradalog." As soon as we are finished editing the photos, we will reach out and schedule a date for the photo debut & ordering session.

Albums, photo books, and custom printed art will arrive 4 - 6 weeks from the date they are ordered. Digital files will be delivered via a download link on the day of purchase. Congratulations! You have awesome photography to enjoy for a lifetime!

Photo Debut

&

ordering

About two weeks after the shoot it will be time for your senior's photo debut and ordering session. This is where you will get to see all of the photos for the first time!

We will set up a time for you to visit our studio, when we can go through each photo and help you pick your absolute favorites! Then you decide which you would like to purchase and how you would like them printed, i.e. individual prints, photo book, graduation announcements, etc. 

You will have a chance to see samples of everything and we can even start designing albums and photo books with your input.

Questions

How can I book you for my/my teen's senior portrait session?

When should I book my/my teen's senior session?

When should we have the actual shoot?

Do you include digital files with the session fee?

What is your cancellation/reschedule policy?

What if the weather is bad and we can't shoot outside?

What if a parent cannot attend the shoot?

Do you offer payment plans?

Do you travel?

Can I/my senior bring a friend or a pet to the shoot?

Reach out to us through our contact form and let us know that you would like to book! Once we decide on a package and date, we will send you a contract and invoice for the session fee. It's that easy!

Senior photography season is typically the summer before senior year. However, depending on which season you prefer, you may need to consider a shoot that is earlier or later in the year. 

Digital files are not included in the session fee. After your/your senior's session we will host you for a Photo Debut & Ordering session in our studio. All of the edited photos from the shoot will be available to purchase in either digital or printed format. Albums & Books also include digital files with purchase.

If the weather makes it too difficult for us to shoot on location we can either move the entire session into our studio or we can reschedule to a mutually agreed upon future date.  Usually we will know at least a few days in advance, but in this part of the country the weather can change last minute so we stay prepared with a backup plan!

If a parent cannot attend the shoot with their teen we evaluate on a case by case basis. Typically we will proceed with the shoot if the parent is ok with it AND if both of us and an assistant can attend the shoot. If only one photographer is available and a parent cannot attend we usually reschedule the session. We have made exceptions though, so if something comes up please reach out and let us know!

Yes! We travel all over and we love it! There is no travel fee for a shoot that takes place within 80 miles of the 71270 area code. Outside of that range fees will be determined on case by case basis, however they generally constitute a one night stay in a local hotel and a small stipend for gas.

Yes! 100%! We love when seniors incorporate their pets into their shoot (ask Cara Beth about her senior session, lol) and we always encourage our seniors to bring a friend!

Yes! We absolutely offer payment plans and we do it all the time! We are very flexible in that regard. We can determine a schedule and amount at the Photo Debut & Ordering session.

If you need to cancel your/your student's session 3 or more days before the shoot the session fee will be applied to a mutually agreed upon future date on our calendar. In the event of cancellation 2 or fewer days before the shoot or a "no show" the session fee is retained in consideration of our time. However, should the latter situation arise we certainly encourage you to reach out to us, we understand that life happens!

We usually book sessions about a month in advance. The timing can vary, however. Fall tends to book up much farther in advance than Summer or Spring. Once the time changes and the days get shorter, our availability tightens up considerably.
