Your
Portrait
Experience
M Y P H I L O S O P H Y | My goal as a portrait photographer is to make it as fun and easy going as possible. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. When my clients feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, it results in genuine, joyful images! The images we'll create will be a huge part of the experience..... shouldn’t it be fun, enjoyable and natural? I think so! My goal is to not only capture memories for my clients, it’s to create an experience that they'll never forget.
T H E P R O C E S S | One way I ensure that you enjoy the BEST photographic experience possible is through forming a relationship. I try my best to make sure we are the PERFECT fit before officially booking. A client should connect with their photographer, trust their photographer and be EXCITED about the whole process with them! I keep an open communication before, during and after our session. This helps me to get to know you better and then I'm able to give a lot of feedback as to what locations, outfits, days and times would work best to make sure you look your absolute best amazing self! During the session I take A LOT of pictures! Sometimes thousands! I do this to ensure I get all of the possible angles to guarantee you will look your absolute best! After the session is where the real work for me begins, I narrow down all the best poses, we meet up and you get to choose your favorite ones. Once that's done, I get to work on the chosen poses and begin adding my artistic touches. This is a very tedious and time consuming process. Many images take longer than two hours each to complete. But, the results are magical! See the before and after below.
After all artistic editing is done, I send the images to you via an online gallery for your final approval. This is when you can tell me if you would like some changes done! I always work with my clients to make sure that they absolutely LOVE their pictures!

Why Invest?
Senior year of High School marks so many milestones! This is the first year when you become a legal adult. This may very well be the last year that you will have the same friends. Most likely this could be the last year that you live with your parents. Taking senior pictures is a great way to commemorate everything that you've experienced and to celebrate your future! Shouldn't you have the best photographer to capture all of it? I put my heart and soul into every single one of my images to make sure that you look your absolute best amazing self!

​
Digital Files
A few days after your photo session you will receive an online gallery with unedited images to choose poses from. Once you choose your favorites I will begin working my magic on them. All edits include smoothing of the skin, fixing fly aways, whitening teeth, brightening up eyes, removing objects that are distracting from the background.
You can request extra edits, such as thinning out body parts, adding volume to hair, fixing teeth and more.
My goal is to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the final results!
Weather
In case of bad weather and or natural disaster we will reschedule the session. I constantly check the weather forecast and will communicate with you well in advance with any concerns and changes of plans that may need to take place.
Locations
I'm often asked on what is a good location for photo sessions. I've decided to write a whole blog post with all my favorite locations. Here is a link: https://www.arinasizemorephotography.com/single-post/best-locations-for-a-photo-shoot-around-seattle-area
I'm also open to new locations as well!
My Shooting Style
I'm a very hands-on photographer. During your photo session I will give you lots of instructions on how to pose, model, where to stand and so forth. I will pay close attention to your hair, wardrobe, and positioning. You won't have to worry about a thing. I know all the right angles and poses!
Booking
Once I've answered any questions you may have and you've decided that the Portrait Experience is exactly what you’re looking for, the next step is to set the date and location of your photo session. Once that's settled, you will receive an e-mail with a link to pay your deposit and your portrait agreement. You will have three days to pay your deposit in order to secure your appointment.
Thank You!
I’m so glad you contacted me! I look forward to hearing from you! Be sure to visit the BLOG to view my most recent sessions!
