We take so many pictures these days. We’re all walking around with a camera in our pocket, we snap selfies, post silly filters on social media and capture our lives more than any other generation. And even with all these images, your senior pictures are a special time to celebrate and capture you.

All sessions start in my studio located in NW Portland, about 20mins from Beaverton with easy parking. This is where we’ll get your professional hair and makeup done, take a few studio shots, and then head off to your location!

Before your shoot we’ll meet over coffee or zoom to get to know each other and for me to learn what is important to you. How do you want your images to feel? Do you want friends, family or even a pet to be part of your special day?

Each senior will have a custom-designed photoshoot that will reflect who they have been as a teen and a bit about who they are becoming. If you are into theater, we can go downtown, if you have your own edgy style, let’s head to a super cool graffiti wall in Portland. Or maybe you imagine your images of just you in a field of flowers? We can head to the Rose Garden, a lavender field or even the dahlia farm. Do you have private property or a private stable that you really want to have images taken there? I’m so game!

What’s Included:

  • Pre-shoot meetup or zoom to plan your dream shoot
  • What to Wear Guide with tips for everything from outfits, accessories and props
  • Location Guide to plan your dream photoshoot
  • Style zoom a week before your shoot to go over outfit choices

  • 1-2 locations around Portland
  • Unlimited outfits (typically 4-6 with props and accessories)
  • Posing guidance through the whole photoshoot
  • After your photoshoot, we’ll zoom to see all your images
  • 2-3 weeks later I’ll deliver your collection to your home
  • Fall of senior year I’ll connect with you to send in your yearbook image

FAQ’s

In the Portland area, you want to book your senior pictures for the summer BEFORE senior year.

We do this for 2 reasons… it’s the BEST weather we’ve got and your yearbook submission will be due sometime in the fall.

Every year I get a flood of emails the first week of school. But by then it’s too late. I’m usually fully booked for seniors by the beginning of August.

Reach out to me through Get Info For Your Photoshoot and be sure to select your senior class. You’ll get an automated email with all the details and a link to the Senior Portrait Magazine.

That email will have details for booking. Usually, you’ll reply and let me know you’d like a date in August, for example, and I will let you know which dates are still available.

I want you to see yourself in your images so I like to keep my editing natural for you and true to life colors.

Everyone has a different comfort level with editing so I will talk to you about how much editing you’d like to see in your images. Every finished image gets my portrait edit. This includes brightening eyes, whitening teeth and removing anything distracting from the image.

Senior portraits are an investment. The session fee and collections can be found in The Senior Portrait Magazine and be sure to book before June 1st if you’d like an opportunity to save.

You aren’t alone! This can feel like a big deal and it’s one of the reasons you should book with a photographer that has experience with senior pictures. These are more than just “pretty” pictures.

I can only book a limited number of seniors because I take time to get to know you. This is how we’ll design your custom shoot to fit who you are and what you want to capture. Even if you don’t know what that is yet, we’ll figure it out together!

Of course! I offer all the digitals in the top and middle collections. Flip through The Senior Portrait Magazine to see the full price list and collections that are offered.

I LOVE finding locations that will give your images the look and feel that you’re going for. I’ve lived in the Portland area my whole life so I know a ton of spots that are great for pictures.

Every session starts in the studio in NW Portland and from there, we’ll go to the spots we’ve decided on in advance. I don’t have set locations that every senior goes to, it will be unique to you and what you want from your images.

Want a country rustic look? Or graffiti and the city as a backdrop? Or both? We’ll plan for that!

This is one of the top q’s from every client so I’ve got you! You’ll get a What To Wear Guide that helps you figure out what to choose from your closet or what to shop for.

And a week or so before your photoshoot we’ll do a quick zoom to chat about your outfits, accessories and props so you feel confident about your choices!

The Senior Portrait Magazine is a digital magazine with all the details about a senior portrait session with Anna Graf Photography.

You’ll find images, the booking timeline, testimonials, the full pricelist, and what to expect. I highly recommend going through it with your parent to ensure I’m the right photographer for you.

You’ll get a link to The Senior Portrait Magazin when you inquire at Get Info For Your Photoshoot and select your class.

To capture this time, you need an experienced photographer

One that will help prepare you for what to expect, what to bring for your photoshoot, to help you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, how to pose, and to select timeless pieces of wall art or albums with your gorgeous images. Photoshoots with Anna Graf Photography are completely custom. We’ll work together to design your DREAM photoshoot and have a fabulous day together!

    You might be wondering…

    Let me know you want to book and I’ll send over the link to the calendar with available dates.

    This will take you through the standard contract that needs to be signed by a parent or guardian. If you are under 18 you cannot sign the contract for yourself. It will then have you pay the session fee. Once both are taken care of, you’re booked!

    The session fee doesn’t include any images or products, that will be decided on and purchased after you view your images at your Digital Reveal and Ordering Session.

    Of course! Professional hair and makeup are included in every senior session. But if you’d prefer to not have hair and makeup let me know so we can better plan your session.

    I’ll tell you this when we’re meeting to plan your customer shoot, but EVERY senior gets at least one new zit the day of their shoot.

    Don’t worry about it at all. One-click and it’s gone from your images. If you have more cystic acne and would like it removed from your final images, just let me know when we talk about how much editing you’d like. It’s not a problem at all.

    Love it! One of the q’s I ask when we’re planning your photoshoot is if you’d like to include any special people in your session. Then I’ll add them into your custom timeline so you can let them know when and where to show up.

    This is how we can include your important people and pets but still keep the shoot all about you!

    Depending on the time of year, your final edits can be done within a week or if it’s my busy season it can be up to a month. Another reason to get your senior pictures done in the summer, you’ll have them for #seniorsunday when school starts!

    As soon as a week after your photoshoot we can schedule your Digital Reveal and Ordering Session. This is when you’ll get to see all your images and place your order. You’ll want to have your parents and all decision-makers available for this zoom meeting.

    These images will have some minor adjustments, but all of the final edits will happen after you select your favorites and place your order.

    Every school has a different deadline and process for submission. Most schools will let you know the first few weeks of school. I will have your deadline on my calendar and will follow up with you a few weeks before the deadline.

    I will submit your image for you and copy you on all communication so you know it was sent in on time. I always suggest checking in with the yearbook staff a few weeks after the deadline to ensure they got it and have your name correct.

    Every May I offer Cap and Gown Mini Sessions for my seniors and it’s a great time to order Graduation items as well! Offer a range of custom grad cards and yard signs to celebrate your accomplishment!

    I offer all of my senior clients the opportunity to set up a pre-payment plan for their collection.

    You’ll decide which collection and let me know if you’d like to pay biweekly or monthly. Most parents choose this option to make this experience more affordable and you’ll get some extra perks as well!
