Senior FAQs

2. DO YOU TRAVEL FOR SESSIONS? 

A:  It is my assumption unless otherwise mentioned that your session will be held in Wilson.  However, IF it is able to work with my full time job, then yes! I have traveled to the North Carolina Museum of Art, to Beaufort and beyond.  If you intend to travel, this needs to be asked up front.  Mileage would be added onto your session fee at the NC 2025 State Rate of .70/mile

3. How many locations and outits can I have in my session? 

A: Locations depend on the session.  Travel time counts as time of your session.  So say you have a 30 minute session and wish to have the Botanical Gardens and Downtown Wilson.  You would only gain about 10 minutes of session time at the first location before we had to travel to the second location.  So I highly suggest 1 location in the Simple Location, 1-2 locations for the Standard Collection, and 2-3 locations for the Signature Collection.  Likewise, for the Standard and Signature Collection, you can absolutely stay in the same location! I have had many Signature (2 hour) sessions at the NC Museum of Art and seniors change from area to area!  You can have AS MANY outfits as you wish in your session.  Again, changing outfits will take a couple of minutes so keep that in mind.  

4. Where do I change outfits? 

A: Many seniors change in the car.  If a parent is driving, most commonly, seniors will change en route to the second location.  Some stay at one location and still change in their car! I also have a pop-up tent that I carry in my wagon that ensures privacy in very public locations. I just had a session in the gardens at Tryon Palace in New Bern and we changed outfits 3 times there as folks walked by! (picture of the pop up tent!)

5. When is my senior picture due? 

A: Again, this depends on the school! Many schools are going to only allowing the drape photos for your actual yearbook photos.  However, if you want to include some for a personal page, those deadlines and expectations vary from school to school.  Check with your school yearbook director for more information. 

6. how long until I receive my proofing gallery? 

A: With my sessions, I generally share a sneak peek within 1-2 days of the session!  I will cull through your images (narrow them down getting rid of anything that is not perfectly in focus or where you may be blinking) and I will deliver them to you within 2 days UNEDITED.  
From there you choose your favorite images based on your collection which I will edit and deliver within 1 week.  which will be delivered ASAP!

7. can I purchase more images than what came with my collection? 

A: Absolutely!  Additional high resolution digital files are $15/image OR the option of purchasing your entire gallery for a set price!
Easy peasy!

i have a question that
isn't listed - Help!

1. when do I need to book my session with CWCP? 

A: FULL disclaimer: Photography is not my full time job! I am a full time Minister of Music and Organist and keep regular hours, many of which are in the evenings.  Because of this, I take on a limited number of sessions each season based on my ability to balance my full time vocation, my photography business and being a mom of two young boys.  All this to day, I suggest 4-5 months in advance! I take retainers well in advance to ensure seriousness of booking and to ensure that I allow a number of sessions in a season.  It's never too early! I have retainers for seniors set to graduate 2 years from now!  

NO problem!  Let's get it straight!  Go ahead and submit a contact form and include your question in the form!  I will be in touch within 24-48 hours with an answer!

inquire and share your question

That's what this is all about, right?  Sharing!  Whether your goal is to share your images on social media for friends and family abroad, or share them with generations to come long after you, let the sharing begin.

i love helping you share your beautiful life!
