"CAN I BRING FRIENDS OR FAMILY TO MY SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSION?"
Yes, if you need a little help with hair, makeup, wardrobe, props, energizing, etc. Everyone is welcome as long as you agree. Chances are I will put bystanders to work holding umbrellas and reflectors, though, so be warned.
As far as including family in picture-taking in front of the camera, I have found it to be distracting from the senior portrait to try to photograph family and senior portraits during same session. I can schedule back-to-back sessions (take all senior settings for private session first and then family joins in after senior session is complete). It is charged as two separate photo sessions. Discount pricing is available.
