WELCOME! Thank you for inquiring with Photo Designs by Meegan. I am HONORED and humbled you are considering my studio for your senior photos! Senior year is an important milestone in your life. It is busy, exciting, scary, and exhilarating. It is a time in your life when you are on top of the world and may be ready to leave the nest. However, you stil l feel the tug of home and all things familiar. Let me help you capture this special moment in time!

Why choose Photo Designs by Meegan to capture your special

year? I am passionate about capturing a confident you! You are

unique and one-of-a-kind. Each of my seniors feel special. No two

sessions are alike. You are not a number to me and I only

photograph a few seniors a month so I can focus on the details of

your shoot. My SENIOR EXPERIENCE includes a consultation to plan

the details of your shoot from outf its and locations to accessories

and style. Your session will be fun and focus on the details we

discussed. Last, your REVEAL night will showcase your awesome

images and we'll order what you want to commemorate this exciting

time in your life. I look forward to working with you to make this

wonderful t ime in your life even more special!

Thank you,

Meegan

Once you?ve chosen me to photograph your big year, I will send you a Senior Questionnaire to complete. This will tell me about you and what makes you unique. Then, we?ll have a pre-consultation appointment and go over the details: outf its, accessories, looks, and location. Your big day will soon be here and we want to be well prepared!  

A great resource for ideas is Pinterest.   There are thousands of senior photos on it.  I will have you create a personal Pinterest board with 10-12 pins that describe you and have you share it with me. These can be colors, quotes, hair, make-up, other senior photos, etc. This board should show your true personality and will give me a good idea about who you are and what you are looking for in your shoot. We will go over it during your pre-consultation appointment. I will also bring studio samples with me to show you the amazing products I offer. This will help you decide what is most important to you on your reveal night.

This is what the fuss is all about! Your shoot will be 2-3 hours in length. We want to have plenty of t ime to get the best shots without being rushed. We'll shoot your session 3-4 hours before sunset to ensure the lighting is perfect. If you prefer to have a professional make-up artist design your hair and make-up, I can help arrange that service for you for an additional fee.

Be prepared to have fun during your shoot! You may feel awkward the f irst couple minutes but once you?ve relaxed, it?s all fun from here! I will take all types of shots: full body, ¾ body, 1/2 body and close-up. I will do this in every outf it. Posing is important and I will guide you through it with tips on where to put your hands, how to stand, kneel, sit, etc. We will incorporate props we discussed at your pre-consultation and create a style that is uniquely yours!

If your parents or a friend would like to come along, that is great. I allow 3 guests to tag along. They will help with wardrobe changes, snacks, water, and also help me out when needed. Everyone will have a blast creating this once-in-a-lifetime memory!

What to Wear - Dos and Don'tsDeciding what to wear for your session can seem overwhelming. Following these

simple tips will help you chose the perfect outf its for your senior session with ease! 

DO- Choose several outf its you feel conf ident in. Choose dresses, pants, shorts, sweaters and tops that mix and match. We want to have an ample amount to choose from at each location.

DON?T- Be boring. Don't wear dull clothing or an outf it of all one color. Stay away from all black or all white.

DO- Wear functional clothing and nude undergarments. You will be posed in lots of dif ferent positions and we want you to feel comfortable in all your poses.

DON?T- Wear logos or cleavage-baring tops or blouses. We want to draw attention to your beautiful self and want to accentuate the positive in all your photos.

DO- Layer. The more layers the better.  Sweaters, scarves, necklaces, hats, sunglasses, fun light jackets and other layers create visual interest and add texture throughout your pictures.  They?re a great addition.

DON?T- Be afraid of bold colors and patterns. Plaids, polka-dot, f loral and stripes can be overwhelming but mixing in a few patterns here and there is another great way to add some interest to your photo session.

DO- Pay attention to your shoes. Shoes matter!  Feel free to bring a few pair of shoes to match each outf it. We can change them up as the setting allows. Shoes make great props too! Also, bring along a comfortable pair of rain-boots or tennies for walking through water or on rough terrain.

THEN WHAT?

About two weeks after your shoot, I will meet you for your Reveal Ordering Session. You and your family will be dazzled by a beautiful slide-show of your photos! Then we will go through the photos one by one and we will choose favorites and order the albums, wall art, grad cards and other products your family wants of your session. Products will be delivered about 4 weeks after ordering them. Since I bring the Reveal night to your home, we can look at wall art placement and I?ll give ideas for what will look good where. It?s a wonderful service my boutique provides because no one wants beautiful images in a drawer. We want to enjoy them every single day!

The collections on the following page have been put together to give you the absolute best quality products for the best value.  Those collections are available on reveal night only!  No need to worry if the products in the collections don't f il l your needs.  All products are available a la carte as well and are 20% off on reveal night!

The goal of the reveal night is to f inalize your order so we can get your prints and products to you as soon as possible. To help make this stress free it?s a great idea to take a look through all of the dif ferent products and collections so you can go into the reveal session with an idea of what might work best for you.  Once you?ve seen your images that may change but it?s always good to have an idea when we get started.

When all the fun of the reveal night is over, you?ll have a short wait before you?ll have your wall art in your hands!  Digital f iles purchased will be made available within the f irst week and you can expect to have your prints and products in hand in about 4 weeks.  When everything is in we?ll schedule a time that I can hand deliver your amazing products to make sure it gets there safely!

Why long last ing archival qual ity albums and products?

Before becoming a professional photographer, I had a business helping families organize and preserve their family photos in archival quality boxes and albums. I've seen f irst hand photos stored improperly, unnamed and forgotten. Through my business I was able to give those photos meaning and bring them to life for families. We don't take photos to leave them in a drawer, on a computer, or on a dvd. We take photos to preserve memories of our l ife and need them to be out where we can celebrate them everyday. Albums and wall art change lives. They build confidence in kids and adults, show love in families and brighten our day.

My job as your professional is to research and offer the best products on the market that will maintain their longevity to last for generations. I have spent countless hours researching professional labs and products and bring you the best I can f ind at a fair price. I offer a large variety of products and know there are many more out there. If you f ind something else you'd like, please let me know and I will quote a price for it. I stand behind all my products and guarantee them from manufacturing f laws.

On the following pages you'll f ind my Reveal ordering session collections and A La Carte Product offerings. Please take some time to go through them and choose a collection that is right for you. Each is unique and they build upon each other. Most products are also offered individually. Collections are ONLY available at the Reveal Ordering session and have the best value, up to 50% off. You'll notice I have two prices on the A La Carte menu. All A La Carte items are 20% off during the Reveal session. Please let me know if you have questions!
