Frequently Asked Questions

01. When is the best time to book a senior portrait session?

We highly recommend scheduling your session the summer before your senior year begins. Once school starts, schedules can be hectic and finding the time to get it done can be troublesome. Our fall semester dates book well in advance so waiting until the last minute might cause you to miss the opportunity to be photographed by us. If you schedule in the summer and you can check one big thing off your senior year “To Do” list.

02. How do I book a session with you?

All it takes is a phone call and to schedule your pre-session consultation at the studio. We plan out your session with you in person! You will tour our studio, and see all of our high quality print products.

03. What is the pre-session consultation?

We will meet face to face at our studio and plan out your senior portrait session with you in detail. We will select the perfect locations, discuss your outfit choices and give you some great tips on how to prepare for your special day so it is totally stress free. You’ll also get the opportunity to view all of our high quality products which are on display and see exactly what you will get when you place your order. Styling assistance is included in your session!

04. Do we shoot in-studio or on-location?

Both! We have an climate-controlled 3900 sq. ft. studio and HMUA area for indoor shoots. We can discuss what shoot location(s) might fit your personal style best at your consultation. Oread Studios gives you a lot of variety in your images!

05. Do you offer hair and makeup (HMUA)?

Absolutely! We work with several very talented HMUA and can arrange for that to be an economical, but important part of your day. It is important for you to look perfect for the shoot and that is a very fun addition to any photoshoot. Depending upon your shoot location and session length, we may choose to have HMUA on-location for part of the day.

06. Is retrouching included?

Expert retouching is included with every session and is completed on all of your delivered images. We use techniques which maintain skin texture and only retouch blemishes or discolorations which are not part of the permanent you. We also include you in the retouching process and use your feedback to update any edits as needed when needed. It is not often that we have to revisit an edit, but actively invite you to provide your approval before we deliver a final edit.

07. Can I bring a friend?

Of course! While we won’t make BFF shots the center of our session together, we welcome shooting a few images which capture your amazing friendship. A friend shoot would be considered a session extra and we are excited to talk with you about your ideas!

We also offer periodic days where we open the studio for a period of time for friend shoots. This is where you can bring a freind (or a couple) and have a quick and fun session together. You would simply pay for any images you choose to have printed and no session fees are required.

08. Can I bring a pet?

Just like above, we are always happy to help you capture the images YOU want. We have shot many sessions with pets of all kinds. Just know that we can't guarantee it will always work out. Pets have minds of their own and sometimes, they simply decide today is not their day to have a photo taken. Ha!

09. Do you offer digital images?

All of our packages offer a certain number of what we call, “social media” images. These are images which are formatted for web use with the correct size and color space to show correctly on any web page. All that we ask is that you give credit to @oreadstudios when doing so. We also offer a package in which you can purchase some or all of the edited digital images from your session which must be bought in conjunction with a print package. Please inquire if this is something which interests you.

10. What type of payment do you accept?

While cash or check is preferred, for your convenience, we do accept all major credit/debit cards. We also offer a 90 day payment plan.
