We open up booking for senior portraits February 1st, 2020 for 2021 seniors. Photos by Ciera takes on limited seniors to ensure that each senior receives the attention necessary to tailor their session to their own personality and style! Unfortunately once all of our dates are booked, we are booked for the year. 

Through your online gallery, you are given print release rights to the digital images delivered. From there, you are able to download your digital images and order prints through our professional lab. The professional quality prints, canvases and products are all at a low cost to allow our seniors the opportunity to have lifelong keepsakes! You have the option to print your images elsewhere with the print release, however, we cannot guarantee the color and quality from any other lab. 

ABSOLUTELY!! We want you to share your photos - EVERYWHERE! Post your favorites every #SeniorSunday on Instagram, have Mom post on Facebook so they can brag about their beautiful child, etc. We just ask that you tag and/or mention us so your friends/family know who took the photos and hopefully book with us in the future! 

During the planning process, we send every senior a link to our personalized Style Guide. Here you will find tips on picking any amazing location that fits your vision, what types of clothing to wear, what colors look best on camera and all of the details to prepare for your session! For senior girls, we have a range of dresses/outfits for you to look through and borrow from our Photographer's Closet as well!  

Yes! We highly recommend that you have one person come along to your session. We normally suggest that it is either Mom, Dad or one close friend. This year, we are limiting it to only one person to tag along per session.

We have examples of each season above for you to decide which type of session you are looking for! All seniors will have the opportunity to join our complimentary fall session in October so they are able to have 3-5 individual images + additional friend/group photos taken if they attend - which is why we have only 1-2 full senior session dates available per year. 

Any senior who books prior to March 31, 2020 will be invited to attend our complimentary senior sessions - we have one in October 2020 with the pretty fall colors and one in May 2021 with your cap & gown! In addition to your full senior galleries, you will receive 3-5 individual digital images plus fun group shots and photos with friends from each event. For this year, our Fall session will take place on Saturday, October 17th (with a rain date of the 18th). Our Cap & Gown date is TBD depending on when each school receives their graduation attire. 

We watch the weather VERY closely leading up to all of our sessions - but weather can change fast! If it it scheduled to rain, we will be in contact with you. We normally wait to reschedule due to weather until the day of and keep 1-2 other date options available within that season for you.
