JUNIOR: Senior year is almost here! You can apply to be in our prestige Senior Ambassador Program during the winter of your junior year. If you've been accepted into the program, you'll be photographed twice throughout January to June of your junior year. The first session will be in the indoor studio, and the second will be in the outdoor on-site gardens.

The Senior Ambassador Program is a fantastic way to earn rewards, exclusive discounts, and best of all; have your senior portraits done by the start of your senior year! (AKA #seniorsunday posts all year long!) If you're a junior, learn more by clicking here.
SENIOR: The time is now, if you're a senior, click here to contact us! Most school's yearbook deadlines are in early December. We strongly suggest waiting no longer than the end of October to have your portraits done. We can accomodate sessions scheduled later in the year, but the sooner the better.

If you want gorgeous outdoor portraits taken in our designer on-site gardens, we suggest scheduling during May through August for peak greenery and color! If you want the fall hues, the month of October is typically a good time to schedule a session.
