At Sonney's Photography, we want to provide you with great portraits and the best experience when you're here for your senior portraits.  We provide many different session choices for you to choose from.  

You will leave with your proof book the same day you're photographed!  Same day proofs! Approximate wait time is 20 minutes.  If you don't have time to wait, you can pick them up later or have them mailed to your home.

Before your portrait session:

• Check to be sure your outfits are clean and free of wrinkles and put them in a garment bag.

• Do your nails (clear or neutral colors work best)

• Guys, be sure to shave the night before.

• Limit exposure to the sun a few days before your photo session to avoid sunburns or tan lines.

• Avoid getting a new hairstyle or cut right before your session.

• Select a familiar style you know looks good.

What you should bring to your portrait session:

• A few extra outfits (although you may not wear every outfit, it's always good to have several available)

• A mix of casual and formal clothes.  We suggest wearing your yearbook outfit.  You will have your own dressing room to put your belongings and check hair & make-up.

• CD's or MP3 player to play YOUR music on our sound system during the session.

• Matching shoes (for full-length poses)

• Instruments, sports equipment, letter jackets, uniforms, pets and any other props that show who you are.

• Make-up, hair supplies, and accessories.

• Friends and parents (to help you and even join in for a few poses if you want)

• Session fee. Check, money order, personal check, Visa, MasterCard or Discover.

• If you wear glasses, keep in mind that because of their reflection and magnifying characteristics, they can distort the eyes of the subject. Glasses that darken in brighter light also pose a problem. An easy way to solve this problem is either not to wear them or ask your optician loan you a similar frame, but without lenses.

Portrait Session Time:

• In case of rain, keep your appointment.  We'll still take your indoor poses and reschedule your outdoor poses.

• Be sure to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your appointment time to complete paperwork and get settled in.

• After you’ve checked in, get ready to experience a portrait session that is ALL ABOUT YOU.  Your will have the complete attention of your photographer.   We will suggest some posing and background ideas, but don’t hesitate to ask questions or tell us what YOU have in mind . We want you to have a great experience and make lasting memories of your senior year.

• Some poses may feel a little awkward but our experienced professional photographers know what will look great in your finished portrait.

• We will take approximately 6 poses per outfit. 

• Depending on the session you've selected, expect to spend an between 30 minutes to 2 hours at Sonney's Photography.

• Most importantly, relax and HAVE FUN !

After your portrait session:

• Before you leave your portrait session, you will receive your proof book, price list and ordering instructions.

• If you are unable to wait for 15-20 minutes after your session to receive your proofs, they can be picked up at a later date or mailed to you.

• You will need to select the pose that you want to appear in your yearbook. We'll take care of sending your choice to the school.  You won't have to do anything else!

• Be aware that your proofs will not be cropped or retouched. Your finished portrait order will be retouched to eliminate blemishes and soften lines.
