Senior Magazine

When you send us a message through the website or instagram, we send you the coolest digital magazine full of all the information about your senior session, what to expect, pricing, and more! We also have an app version so you can easily share with your parents.

Book Your Session

Once you’ve booked with us, you will be able to pick a session date and secure it as well as schedule your fashion consultation meeting. You will also receive a fashion consultation questionnaire full of fun questions to help us start planning during your meeting! 

Welcome Packet

You will receive the most fabulous envelope in the mail once you’ve booked! Inside you’ll find a wealth of information to help you get ready for your session from what to wear, grad announcement samples, clothing store discounts and everything in-between!

This packet will help you plan your outfits and even help you dress for your body type so that you can look your absolute best for your senior portraits! It will also give you all the details you need to show up prepared the day of your session!

Fashion Consultation

During your fashion consultation, we will plan your perfect session and use your questionnaire answers to get to know your personal style. We will also have you bring all your favorite clothes and sort through the best options for your session. You will also be able to go through our Style Closet and try on whatever you like. You can add to your outfits or use everything from the closet for the session.

We will talk about locations, colors, clothes, hair, makeup, and everything else you can think of. This is also a great time to go over the whole process, and help you feel at ease about every step. 

Session Day

Yay! It’s finally here! Darling & Dear seniors usually begin about four and a half hours before the sun sets. At that time you will get your hair and makeup done and we will go through your wardrobe one more time and make sure everything is ready to go! 

And when it comes to your locations, get excited! We will go from awesome location to location photographing you in all different kinds of light and poses! We plan the time perfectly so that it’s over as the sun starts to set! 

(Optional) Ordering Session

As soon as all of your beautiful images are edited, we will come back together for your ordering session! We will start our session off by viewing your photos in a beautiful custom senior video that highlights the best parts of your experience. Then we show you all of the products we offer, and you can touch and feel them all you want! We want you to fall in love with your products before you make any decisions. 

During your ordering session, you will be able to order any of the custom products you’ve been eyeing and we are there to help you decide what photos or framing will work best. We can also help you piece together gallery groupings or show you what size would look good in certain rooms. The best part is that we can change it right there, so there’s no guessing what your product will look like!

We also have special print collections available during your session based on what is most popular among our seniors. This is the only time you can take advantage of these great deals, so make sure to invite your friends and family to come along too! 

If you opt out of the Ordering Session, your online gallery of images will be sent to you via a link in a text and email.

Product Pick-up

Immediately after ordering, we process your payment and your order is on it’s way! Once it arrives to our studio, we will go over it with a fine-tooth comb to make sure it meets our high standards! When everything is ready, we will package it in our signature boxes and bags and you will receive an email letting you know that it is all ready to be picked up!
