Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sessions include senior portraits, milestone portraits (sweet sixteen, quinceañera, bat/bar mitzvah, confirmation), teen modeling portfolios, and standalone editorial teen portraits commissioned as gifts. Every session is tailored to the teen’s personality and the final use.
-
Both work well for teens. Studio sessions have a controlled, editorial look and are efficient on time. On-location sessions across Long Island’s North Shore give a softer, more environmental feel and often suit seniors looking for a few distinctly different looks.
-
Most teens arrive feeling that way. The session begins with conversation, not posing, and the first round of images is built around movement and natural body language rather than fixed poses. The final portraits look confident because the teen became confident during the session, not because they were asked to perform for it.
-
Wardrobe is discussed in the pre-session consultation. Most teen sessions include multiple looks — a polished outfit, something casual, and something that reflects the teen’s actual style.
-
Either works. Many parents stay for the first portion of the session, and many teens feel more at ease when parents watch from a distance or step out entirely. The session is structured to accommodate both preferences.
-
Plan on 60-90 minutes. Senior sessions with multiple locations and outfits may run longer and are quoted individually.
-
Item descriptionr best results, seniors should book in the spring or early summer before their senior year. This avoids the fall backlog at most studios and gives time for the session, gallery reveal, and any wall art or album product orders before graduation.
