What is a "Session Theme"?
Think of your senior session as different
“themes” or multiple “mini sessions”
1 Session Theme=
1 Location
1 Outfit
20-30 min session length
*Minimum of 10 photos from session
I take around 100 photos per session theme
A “typical rule of thumb in photography” is every
100 photos = 10 good photos
I cull the photos from the session, find the best ones, and edit them. You’ll get all the photos I edit from the session theme. You’ll definitely get 10 - if there are 20 awesome ones, you’ll get all 20.
Examples of "Session Themes"
- Water/Beach Photos
- Nature Center, Field, or Garden Center photos
- City Scenery photos
- Photos with a prop (like an instrument)
- Photos that showcase a sport
- Photos with dogs/pets
- Photos in car/truck
