Welcome to being a CSP Senior! I am so excited to be your senior photographer and cannot wait to begin planning out your senior photos!
I know how long you have been waiting to have your senior photos done and want this day to be absolutely perfect for you. To make sure that you're prepped for everything, I have gone ahead and put together the CSP Senior Client HQ. Here you will find everything from where we will be meeting to questions you probably already have! Pair this with your Welcome Packet that you received in the mail and you'll be ready to go for your senior photos!
This is your day. Let's do this!

WHAT
TO WEAR
YOUR WARDROBE
​Planning the perfect wardrobe is extremely important to the outcome of your photos. You want your outfits to reflect you and your personality, but you also want to make sure that they are tied together to help create portraits that you are going to love down the road.
For your wardrobe, please pick out 4-5 outfits AT THE MINIMUM! Honestly, if you don't know what to bring, bring your whole wardrobe! It is better to have too much than too little.
Avoid bringing clothes that are all white or black and make sure that you're bringing clothes that are different from one another. Even though it may be a white dress and a white top, when we photograph you, it will look like you're wearing the same outfit in a lot of the photos.
I love color, but not too much color. This means to avoid bringing clothes that are neon/fluorescent colored since this will reflect light in an unflattering way. If you're not sure what colors work best for you, use the skin tone guide below! When picking your outfits, try to follow this as closely as possible to make sure that you love your photos and everything translates perfectly on camera!
Every senior should bring these items: Dark wash jeans and shoes that are easy to walk in (flats). We will be walking a lot and dark wash jeans pair well with everything!
When you're done, please text me photos of your outfits laid out on the floor! You don't have to be wearing them since this is just to give me an idea of how the colors will look with the locations I will help you pick and make sure that you have enough variety that we can create some amazing portraits!
SHADES FOR EVERYONE
YOUR COLORS
No matter your skin tone, these colors will look great on you! These will be flattering when paired with your eye and hair colors no matter your complexion!

IMAGE PREVIEW
YOU ARE ARTWORTHY!
Approximately two weeks after your session we will have your Image Preview & Ordering Session! This is when you get to see your images for the very first time!
During this time, we'll sit together to LIVE DESIGN all of your products. What this means is that I will help you design exactly how your albums and wall art collections will look so that you know how everything looks before it is even sent off to my professional print labs!
Since this is the one time that we are together to order your products, it's crucial that everyone who wants a say in the decision making process is there to help! This is when we'll be placing your order and picking which products work best for your family.
Payment is also due this day. If you need a refresher on pricing, you can view the pricing in the Senior Pricing Guide that you received in your welcome packet.
Once we've finished your Image Preview, I will finish designing all of your archive quality photo products, make sure everything looks perfect and get them sent off to the lab! After they have come back from the lab, I'll check one more time to make sure everything is flawless, package them up in the signature CSP wrapping and email you letting you know that your photos are ready!
At CSP, we believe that your images shouldn't just sit on your phone or a USB drive collecting dust and that you should be displaying them for everyone you love to see. Portraits document who you are as a person and that's why at CSP we want to make sure you're remembering those moments by offering custom wall art options for every client!
When you choose a wall art collection, we will design each piece to make sure it's optimized for your space as well as making sure everything looks great together using live design software, so you can see your space come to life.
If you believe you will be choosing a canvas or wall art collection, please make sure to have the spaces where you envision installing them measured so that we can best design the collection to fit perfectly in your home.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
HOW MANY OUTFITS SHOULD I BRING?
Please bring as many outfits as you think you might even possibly want to use during your session! It’s better to have too many than too few. We usually get through about 4-5 outfits, but sometimes more!
​
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
While summer sessions are rarely rained out, if the weather is looking bad, I will let you know that we’re rescheduling to a better, sunnier day!
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Yes! And it’s encouraged!! It’s always more fun when you’re with your best friend and then we can grab some best friend photos.
I'M NOT USED TO HAVING MY MAKEUP DONE PROFESSIONALLY...SHOULD I WORRY?
You absolutely shouldn’t worry! If there’s anything you don’t care for, please let the makeup artist know. They are super nice and want you to love your makeup and will not be upset!
