Seasonal PNW Timing & Light

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about locations, outfit changes, timing, and weather terms.
When is the best time to book senior portraits?
Most high school seniors schedule between August and late October of their senior year. This allows plenty of time to review galleries and submit your chosen portrait before school yearbook deadlines (which often fall between late October and December).
Do you format my photo to meet my high school's yearbook rules?
Yes! Just let us know your high school (Seattle Public Schools, Bellevue, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, etc.). We deliver a dedicated file cropped to exact yearbook dimensions (usually vertical 2:3 ratio), required resolution (300 DPI), and file naming guidelines, alongside your full-resolution collection.
How many outfits can I bring?
Every session includes one outfit and outfit guidance. Longer or more involved creative sessions can be discussed as a custom quote.
What if the weather is bad on our shoot day?
Pacific Northwest weather can be unpredictable! Overcast skies act like a giant softbox and create stunning, even portrait lighting with no harsh squinting. If severe rain, high winds, or unhealthy smoke occur, rescheduling terms are set out in your portrait agreement.
How quickly do I receive my finished photos?
You'll receive 3 sneak peeks within 24 hours after your session ends. Your complete private online gallery of at least 20 high-resolution, retouched digital images is delivered within 14 days, with full print release and digital download rights.
What if I feel awkward or don't know how to pose?
Almost all seniors feel nervous before the camera! My approach is entirely prompt- and movement-based rather than stiff poses. We walk, laugh, adjust outfits, and chat, keeping your expressions natural, relaxed, and true to your personality.
