The first step in the process is to work together to select your ideal date! Once your date is selected, a signed contract and session fee of $250 secures your date on my calendar.
Given the beautiful colors and temperate weather, spring and fall are the busiest times of year for senior photos in West Virginia. If you’d like a session during one of those times (ESPECIALLY if you want a weekend spot), please get in touch as soon as possible!
Beautiful photographs can be made in any kind of weather, but I understand that there are some downsides to being photographed in the pouring rain or the freezing cold. I can and do reschedule sessions for inclement weather, but am also happy to use your home or one of my favorite indoor locations if sticking to the scheduled date is a priority.

THE PLANNING PROCESS
The day we've all been waiting for!
Your Job: Stay relaxed. Get yourself pampered with hair and makeup or whatever helps make you feel confident and ready to rock your session. I know it's easy to say, but try not to stress and rest assured that you are in good hands with me.
My Job: Keep an eye on the weather. Be at your location on time, with fresh batteries, extra memory cards and a head full of ideas and inspiration. I'll be there to laugh with you, help you feel confident in your poses and bring out your true personality and style.
Sessions usually last approximately 45 minutes up to an hour. If you want to incorporate multiple locations or just have extra time for additional looks, you have the option to add an additional hour to your session.

"There were so many awesome pictures that I had a hard time choosing a few for prints and announcements. (A great problem to have.) Lori is friendly, professional and so helpful with the ordering process. I highly recommend Lori Pickens Photography... you won't be disappointed!"
"Lori did an excellent job with my son's photos! The pictures were unique and great quality."

You might be worried, what if I tell me friends, but I still can’t send you any referrals? No big deal! You just pay for your session as you would any regular photo session, but you still get all the perks of being one of my reps.
For every friend that books a session with me, you get a $50 credit! If enough of your friends signed up for their senior pictures with me, you could actually get your session completely for free!
you will receive a custom photo session. Plus, you can change outfits and locations as many times as you’d like within your selected session time frame. I am happy to plan outfit ideas and session details with you, to make the session really fun and unique to you and your personality. Along with your session you will receive a fun gif and also a phone app with your favorites to make sharing and showing off your images super easy!
As a rep, you simply show off your images to your friends and tell them about me and your experience with the session.
As a member of my team...

Do I choose the session locations or do you have places you suggest?
I love to make senior sessions special and all about you! So if there are places that are near and dear to your heart, or a fun place that you and your friends hang out and you want to always remember, I am happy to go there. If not, I have a ton of places around town that I love! I usually have my seniors text me pictures of their outfit choices, and I can suggest places that would look great with those.
Can I change clothes?
You can change clothes as many times as you’d like within your selected session time.
Do you offer hair and make up?
Yes! I work with a great group of Hair and Makeup Artist that will help to make you look and feel your best! This is an additional fee of around $75 that you pay directly to the HMUA.
What happens if I tell my friends, but no one books?
No big deal! You just pay for your session as you would any regular photo session, but you still get all the perks of being one of my reps.
There are lots of reasons you might be interested in an alternative to the full session. Maybe you have reluctant teen that wants to keep his session short or even better you want to be able to book multiple sessions with me throughout the year to capture your senior in different seasons or add on a quick cap and gown session. I'm happy to offer a mini session any time. They follow the same structure and collection process listed above, but with a shorter session time and a lower price point.
