Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most Sweet 16 packages combine an editorial portrait session with event coverage on the day of the party. The portrait session is typically photographed in the studio or at a curated location and produces the formal portraits — for invitations, save-the-dates, and wall art. Event coverage captures arrivals, the program, and candids throughout the celebration.

  • Sweet 16 dates fill quickly through the spring and early summer. Booking three to six months in advance secures the preferred date and leaves time for a pre-party portrait session and any custom invitation work.

  • Yes — and it’s strongly recommended. The pre-Sweet 16 portrait session is where the formal editorial portrait of the birthday girl is made, in a relaxed setting where wardrobe, hair, and makeup can shine. Day-of event coverage tells the story of the celebration; the portrait session is what produces the heirloom image.

  • Wardrobe is discussed in the pre-session consultation. Most Sweet 16 sessions include the formal party gown plus one or two additional looks that reflect her personal style. Hair and makeup are strongly recommended — referrals are available on request.

  • Yes. Day-of coverage is offered as a stand-alone or as part of a combined package with the portrait session. Coverage includes arrivals, the entrance, the program (toasts, candle lighting, dancing), and candids throughout the night. Specific timeline and coverage hours are quoted based on the venue and program.

  • Yes — many families do. The studio’s gallery turnaround on the portrait session is timed so the formal portraits are ready well ahead of any printed invitation deadline. Custom invitation and save-the-date design is available on request.
