Our pre-session consultation over the phone will give us the opportunity to discuss the locations and outfits that best represent your personality. Don't worry, you'll have the option to include more than 2 locations if you need it!
get prepared
Show up and just have fun! I will do all the hard work once you're there. We will visit up to 2 of your chosen locations and as many outfit changes as we can in the allotted time. The session will last about 2 hours, which will allow your senior to warm up in front of the camera and to capture lots of great images.
let's have fun!
Your memories aren't meant to live on your computer. Once your images are ready, we will discuss how to get your beautiful images turned into wall art, tabletop art, keepsake boxes, albums and more. Digital images are also available for purchase.
remember the feelings forever
Your images deserve to be displayed in beaituful ways.
If you are the parent of or the senior who is unsure about having your photo taken, please know I have worked with several seniors who were really hesitant before the session. It’s OK! One of the greatest compliments I’ve gotten from parents or other seniors is that they were so nervous before the session. But after meeting me, they immediately felt at ease and actually had fun during their session.

Having recently graduated a senior myself, I know the value of these photos. I love seeing them in my home every day. I can't wait to get started with you and plan your session!

Since you have at least one family member all dressed up, why not add everyone else for a family mini session? We can add the entire family at the beginning or end of the session to take care of all your family's photo needs in one day.

I know that choosing outfits can be tricky. I love it when clients send me photos of their outfits if they need extra help deciding. I also will send you a Style Guide with tips and tricks for how to prepare for your session, including what to wear.
What do we wear?
As a Columbus, Ohio senior photographer, I know that the weather can be unpredictable.
If the weather is not looking ideal for a session we will reschedule.
What if it rains?
In my experience, beautiful light is what makes a beautiful photo, even more than a beautiful location. My goal is for our session to take place at the time of day when the lighting is beautiful. And the location is second. With that in mind, I have a list of several locations to choose from. I love to accommodate special requests if you have one, as long as the lighting works at that time of day. A travel fee will be applied if outside of a 25-minute driving time radius from my home.
Do we get to choose the location?
Please fill out the contact form on my website. I will send you my Scheduler to make scheduling easy-peasy.
How do I schedule a session?
I will post a sneak peek within a week of your session to Instagram (instagram.com/emilysommerphotography) and to Facebook (Facebook.com/emilysommerphotography)
Will I get a sneak peek?
During my non-busy season (January through April), my typical turn-around time is 2 two weeks. During my busy season (May through December), my typical turn-around time is 4 weeks, although I will rush, rush, rush to get images for Christmas cards.
What is the turn-around time?
I will address any issues that I believe need attention. I will choose 10 images to fully edit if a lot of re-touching is necessary. Please pick out your 5 favorite images you’d like addressed in addition to the ones I already edited. If you would like additional images re-touched, there is a fee of $10/image.
Do you address issues such as acne and stray hairs?
Nope! No judgment from me. I am a mom of 4, and I know what it’s like to have kids that aren’t feeling it that day, don’t want to listen and make everything a little more challenging. I get it and have experienced those same things. I’ll do my best to help, but sometimes life is life. This is your family and documenting the crazy might be the best way to capture life right now.
What if my kids act up and don’t cooperate? Are you going to judge me?
Please contact me if you need to change your date. I am a human too, so I get that things happen.
What if I need to change my date?
You will not get every single image from our time because sometimes I can tell the smile isn’t genuine or the background wasn’t working. I choose the best images from our session that represent the formal and candid images.
Do I get every pose and background from our session?
I do not give clients raw images from our session.
Can I have the raw images from the session?
Your fee includes our session and a gallery full of beautiful, edited, high-resolution images.
What is included in the fee?
I love to see your prints off your computer and on your walls and displayed throughout your home. Your gallery is connected to a store that makes beautiful, archival prints.
Do you offer prints?
