SENIOR PORTRAITS - FAQ

We recommend booking senior pictures as early as possible, especially if you want the best choice of dates, seasons, and locations. Many families book months in advance so we have time to plan the session and create an experience that feels thoughtful and personal.

Most Distinction Photo families invest between $2,000 and $4,000 in their senior portraits and artwork. Final pricing depends on the session you choose and what you want to take home.

The best outfits are the ones that feel natural, flattering, and true to your senior’s personality.

We help guide wardrobe choices so the final images feel personal, polished, and not like everyone else’s.

If you want more detailed outfit guidance, you can read our full What To Wear For Senior Pictures guide here.

It helps seniors feel more confident, look polished on camera, and relax into the experience without the stress of doing everything on their own.

Your Premiere Viewing Session takes place within two weeks of your senior portrait session. This is when we’ll present your images, help you choose your favorites, and guide you through options for artwork, albums, announcements, and anything else you’d like to create from the session.

Because final decisions are made during this appointment, we ask that all decision-makers be present. Ordering appointments typically last 1 to 2 hours, so it’s best to come prepared to give the process your full attention. If possible, we also recommend arranging childcare for young children so the appointment can feel relaxed and focused.

If you’re planning to purchase gifts or send announcements, it’s helpful to come with a rough idea of what you may need. 

All orders ar ready 6-8 weeks after date of purchase.

We do not keep any image files that have not been ordered; therefore, non-ordered images will be removed from our sytem immediately following your ordering session and will not be archived.

Images that have been ordered will remain in our system for one year.
