Better Together

Friendship-core Senior Portraits

This year I’m offering duo and trio sessions that are built around the people who made your college years what they were.

Multiply the fun and get group photos, and solo portraits!

How it Works

  1. Let’s get acquainted!

    I’ll send a questionnaire that will help me tailor the shoot to your group. Done before your bagel pops out of the toaster.

  2. Prep for the shoot

    My pre-shoot guide helps you feel confident and prepared, so you actually enjoy the experience. We'll chat via phone or text (whichever you prefer) to make sure you’re all set. I will map out our locations beforehand so the sessions goes smoothly.

  3. Shoot Day

    I’ll take care of the direction so you can relax and be yourself. You don’t need to quietly wonder “what should I do with my hands?”. I got you.

Hey, I’m Elin

and I will hang off the edge of a building to get a new angle for you.

We’re a good fit if:

  • You want photos that reflect your personality in this era of your life.

  • You want to share the experience with your friends

  • You want something beyond the basics.

  • You want to feel guided and enjoy the process.

FAQ

Will it be awkward? I don’t know how to pose.

I don’t expect you to know how to pose and I understand that not everyone feels natural in front of a camera. I aim to get you in good light, and capture the authentic, natural moments. I will guide and direct the shoot every step of the way, giving you prompts and adjusting as needed.

When will the photos be ready?

You can expect your gallery within 2 weeks. “Rush” is available for an additional fee of $75.

Do you provide RAW files?

No; you will receive professionally retouched, completed images.

Keep in mind…

  • The closer photoshoots get to graduation dates, the busier campus gets. This means that we may have to wait our turn for popular campus spots which will eat into photoshoot time. For this reason, you may want to book several weeks or before graduation, or in the days after the ceremonies are complete.

  • 60 minute sessions can cover up to 3 nearby locations, while 90 minute shoots will allow us to move around campus more.

  • Events around campus may impede or limit our shoot. Please be sure you book a date that an event is not scheduled.
