The Formula for a PERFECT Senior Picture Session
Are you a high school junior or senior getting ready for your senior portrait session and dreaming of perfection? You’re in the right place! Senior pictures are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate YOU, and the right photographer can make all the difference.
At Mariela Ryan Photography, we’ve perfected a formula for an unforgettable senior picture session. Here’s how we help make every step seamless and stress-free!
1. Pre-Session Prep: No Guesswork Needed
Questions like What should I wear? What nail polish looks best? How can I prep my skin? can feel overwhelming—but we’ve got you covered!
When you book with us, you’ll receive detailed resources, including checklists, color guides for your skin tone, tips for glowing skin, and where to shop for the perfect outfits. We’ll guide you every step of the way so you never feel stuck or unsure.
2. Wardrobe Help: Your Style, Elevated
Picking the right outfits can be tricky, but our fashion consultations make it easy! Bring all your outfit options, and we’ll help you choose the best looks, down to the accessories. By the end of our consult, you’ll know exactly what to wear, how each look fits into your session locations, and how your hair and makeup will complement each outfit.
This is your time to shine—and we’ll help you pull it all together with confidence.
3. Stress-Free Prep: Leave It to the Pros
Who wants to worry about hair and makeup on session day? Not you! That’s why our senior sessions include professional hair and makeup services.
Our stylists create a flawless, photo-ready look that lasts, and we offer on-location touch-ups to keep you looking fresh from the first pose to the last. Say goodbye to sweat, smudged makeup, or flat hair—we’ve got you covered!
4. Personalized Poses and Locations
Your session should reflect you! That’s why we select locations based on your style preferences during a pre-session consult. Love urban vibes? Let’s hit the city. Prefer natural backdrops? We’ll find stunning outdoor settings.
We’ll also guide you through poses that feel natural, capturing your personality and showcasing your unique mannerisms for authentic portraits.
5. Organic Edits: The Real You
Say goodbye to overdone edits! We believe in enhancing your natural beauty, not erasing it. Your freckles, pores, and true skin tone will shine through.
You’ll never see unnatural filters, overly bright teeth, or "reshaped" features in our photos. Our organic retouching process keeps your images timeless and true to who you are.
6. Luxe Senior Products (Not Just Digital Files!)
Your senior portraits deserve more than just a spot on your phone. With our luxe and elite packages, you’ll receive a stunning regal fusion album. Imagine flipping through a professionally designed collection of your favorite images—it’s a keepsake you’ll treasure forever.
Our clients often gasp when they see the quality and beauty of their albums. Trust us, you’ll want one for yourself!
