INVESTMENT GUIDE
Did you know that Displaying photos in your home strengthens a person's confidence, AND provides a sense of connection & belonging?
&
I have personally been through this bittersweet senior experience myself with my oldest child, so I fully understand how EMOTIONAL the senior year experience is for you as a parent — don't you just want to hold them tight, go through baby photos all day and freeze time?
Well, since we've got to let them fly, the next best thing is to keep the memories on hand for us to lovingly admire. When my son was in college, I found myself picking up his senior album on our coffee table more often, and slowing down when I climbed the steps to look at his confident smiling face and beautiful eyes looking back at me.
I have your best interest at heart, so trust me when I tell you that having beautiful images in your home of this joyful chapter of life, is not "too much, too extra, not necessary". I know you want the digitals too, because this is the age we live in, but nothing comes close to a tangible print. Together, we'll work to personalize the perfect collection for your family.
Dear parents,
xo, Maria
Every product I offer is luxury quality; printed using the most premium fine art paper and materials. The images of your senior in their most confident self, will always look stunning, unique, and will last a lifetime. I invite you to go through this guide and envision your senior's images in print format to adorn your home. Enjoy!
Fine Art Quality
The Luxe Album has been a client favorite for years! This beautiful luxury album is a hand-made heirloom piece. There is no need to settle for just a few prints or a selection of digital images that you may never get around to printing. All your favorites in one place.
The Luxe Album is custom designed to fit the unique story of your amazing day.

The Luxe Album
- Lillian
"I'm so thankful we gave Maria complete freedom to design my daughter's album. She was able to select the best photos and create such a cohesive design. She knew exactly what we needed and made the entire experience stress-free and so enjoyable"

Engagement sessions are the perfect time for a hair and makeup trial! Professionally done hair & makeup last longer than typical hair & makeup. They also tend to hold up better for humitiy and wind.
We think it’s so important that you look and feel your best for your engagement photos - and if you’re planning to do a hair & makeup trial anyways, the engagement session is a great time to test how your hair & makeup look on camera.

There will probably be times during your session when we’re shooting your hands holding or the engagement ring on your hand - which means it’s a good idea to clean up your nails before your session (this applies to the guys too!).

You can’t go wrong with a suit and tie. Consider pulling out that suit you had to wear last time you were a groomsmen!
Layer with a blazer and a fun tie - you can even wear jeans with this look.
Bowties are always a good idea.
Be careful not to choose a pattern that is too small - it may accidentally make your photo look a little too busy.
Softer, pastel colors tend to photograph better than bright colors - especially since bright colors could reflect on your skin.
Cozy sweaters layered over button ups are a great way to stay warm and stylish during the cooler months.

Luxe USB drive
for safekeeping your digital images
I have carefully hand edited each of your images to my unique artistic style and have created a beautiful collection of photos from your session. Although I am a firm believer in printing your images and creating beautiful photographs to hold in your hand and adorn your home, I also understand that you want your collection of images in digital format.
For years I have trusted my professional photo labs to print the best possible rendition of these artistic images on fine art papers, finishes and always retaining the tonalities and clarity I have intended. I am not able to guarantee preservation of print quality for images that are not printed through my professional services.
USB drives are included in the top collections and include all your digital images!
the Phone App
CARRY ALL YOUR PHOTOS WITH YOU!
This is definitely a senior fave! Do you want to be able to show your friends and family your epic photos? Well, this is a treat! You can carry around all your awesome photos from your session in your back pocket! This unique mobile app is your online gallery containing all of your photos, so there is no need to have your photos downloaded and taking up a ton of space on your phone! One click and there they are!

walks on the beach hand in hand
In spite of the heat, we’re big fans of summer sessions! Because of the later sunset, sessions sometimes begin as late as 6pm. If you’re taking your engagement photos during the summer, we recommend bringing extra makeup and a few towels to make sure you stay fresh throughout your session.
