GRACIE’S GUIDE
This Guide is exclusive to my Senior Clients.
I’m here to help you plan the perfect session & prevent stress & regrets!
Be True To You
Don’t be too focused on what others are doing for their senior photos.
We’re all about standing out & staying true to YOU!
FOR THE BEST PHOTOS!
Try to avoid sugar & caffeine the evening before your session. Good sleep improves mood & reduces nerves. You have a fun filled day ahead of you & need energy for the best photos.
Sleep!
Wear nude colored strapless, comfortable, & seamless undergarments. Nude body suits or slips for see thru dresses.
Undergarments Matter
Support
System
Anxious? Bring a hype girl, family member, sibling, or fur baby along to calm any jitters.
(A supportive & positive person who will lift you up during photos. )
Stay hydrated & eat before your session (when you feel your best, you look your best!)
I’ll have snacks & water on me in case.
Self Care
STYLING WOMEN FOR CONFIDENCE ⁕
STYLING WOMEN FOR CONFIDENCE ⁕
You are welcome to upgrade your package before your session date, the sooner I know the better. Don’t be afraid to dress up! You can never be too overdressed ! I like to spend about 30 minutes per each outfit to keep things fun.
If you booked in 2025:
2 Collections
The 1st collection has up to 3 outifts
the 2nd & 3rd collection have up to 4 outfits
OUTFITS
Cap & gown doesn't count as an outfit. We will do those during the very end of your session if you would like some taken for memories. They look best with mini dresses, skirts, & heels. If you have a hard time choosing outfits just let me know & i’ll help you mix/match & narrow down options.
Things to keep in mind: Your outfit will appear 1-3 shades brighter after editing.
Fave Shop Recommendations
Can I take pics of my child too while you photograph them?
Absolutely! Please allow some space for the first 5-10 minutes to help them build confidence. Once you see them breaking out of their shell. Thats when I recommend you jumping in!
You are welcome to get your shots in too during these special moments.
LOCATIONS
Travel costs are included in my senior sessions (Classic & Diva) to ensure that you get one of a kind photos with variety!
Clients are responsible for venue fees. Unless Gracie photographs 2 seniors on the same day in the same city she will cover both of the Seniors venue fees.
When hiring on makeup artists & hair stylists i’m very picky. It reflects the quality of my portfolio & the experience for my seniors .
I have a handful of girls I use each year that I trust. I’m not a fan of heavy foundation. We prefer a glowy youthful look with cluster lashes to accentuate the eyes.
If you are wanting to do your own makeup & hair or have someone you trust. That’s totally fine. Blemishes must be covered to prevent them showing up in camera. If needing concealer spot correcting for blemishes please let me know in advance so I can help.
Dewy/Glowy foundation is not recommended for outdoor Louisiana shoots. While they look beautiful in person, they become extra shiny in the heat and humidity. Photographing more oily than radiant.
Matte, semi matte, & satin foundations finish work best.
Please do.
-Wear small minimal patterns/florals, or solids.
-Paint your nails a neutral color, unless you are color coordinating to an outfit. (for example black, blue, white etc can draw your attention away from you & your outfit.)
-Pack protective footwear just in case for nature areas. (rain boots/cowgirl boots)
-Wear dainty jewelry. The more minimal, the more you can wear. Bring your accessories/shoes so we can switch out for more variety.
-If you love statement pieces, bold shoes. hats. Be sure to create balance from head to toe.
-Bring flower petals/sprinkle candy/champagne/sparklers/ or bubbles for fun shots!
-Reschedule your session with me if are ill. I will be more flexible with my schedule for you.
Please don’t.
-wear large bulky patterns unless balanced from head to toes
-wear tight shoes & uncomfortable clothing
-wear something that doesn’t feel like you.
-bring confetti/glitter that isn’t ecofriendly.
-wear thick eyelashes or chunky mascara
-wear chunky wedges
THE PROCESS
THE SESSION
I enjoy playing upbeat music & helping clients pose so there is never a need to be nervous or feel unprepared. I'll change my settings to look best with the lighting so your images are consistent. I'll be with you encouraging you! If there are any types of shots you have in mind feel free to incorporate your ideas too.
AFTER SESSION
I'll begin sifting through your best images. My selections are based on the most flattering angles, lighting, & facial expressions. Once I choose my faves. I’ll tweak the lighting & color tones to be balanced, & then create custom filters/presets that suit your gallery & your skin tone. I’ll send your gallery to you to make your selections for professional retouching. You will be able to download your entire gallery & your favorites (depending on collection 10, 20, 40) will be retouched for the purpose of being printed.
THE DELIVERY
3 weeks from your session date I'll deliver your retouched gallery unless a turn around upgrade was purchased & confirmed. Your gallery will be online for 2 years, unless another session is booked and added to your gallery. If you lose your link. No Worries! Text 337.502-7188 & i'll send another one your way.
