In-Person Consultation At My Studio In Vass, NC
At Jamie Loomis Photography, we believe in the power of personal connections. Our in-person consultations are more than just meetings; they are opportunities to understand your unique personality, interests, and style. Through face-to-face discussions, we aim to build a rapport, ensuring that your senior photo session is not just a photoshoot but a tailored experience capturing the spirit of who you are. This initial meeting allows us to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and lay the foundation for a stress-free and personalized session that truly reflects your individuality.
If you are not sure of your vision - no worries - 95% of people walk in and are unsure of specifics they would like.
We will begin by finding out more about each other. I will ask you questions about your senior year, interests, hobbies, and style. This will help us uncover what makes you YOU and what is most important about this chapter of your life. These details will help us create meaningful and personalized senior photos.
Usually, this conversation will spark at least one thing that is important to you. It may be an outfit you want to wear, a sentimental item you want to include like grandma’s handmade quilt, a location that is important to you or one you have been dreaming of, a Pinterest inspiration photo with the vibe you love, fun props, furbaby or bestie you would like to have photos with. This begins the planning process. From here we build our plan for locations, outfits, what to include, and any special requests.
2. Choosing The Right Senior Photo Locations
Your senior photos should be as unique as you are, and choosing the right location is the first step in crafting a story that's exclusively yours. Whether you're drawn to the rustic charm of a country setting, the vibrant energy of city streets, or a perfect blend of both, we will find a location that resonates with your personality and style. Picture strolling through the historic streets of Southern Pines or Sanford, capturing the fun vibes of Raleigh and Fayetteville's city streets, enjoying the beautiful gardens in Pinehurst and Chapel Hill, or having fun at local flower farms in Vass and Cameron, or spending golden hour at one of the fields in Broadway. And yes, I'm always ready for a road trip to capture your story, no matter where the road takes us.
3. Wardrobe Selection Tips
Let's talk outfits! Curating the perfect wardrobe is essential to ensure you look and feel your best. I'll provide tips on selecting outfits that complement your chosen location and reflect your personal style. Whether it's the rustic charm of one of our local boutiques, trendy finds from vintage shops, or your go-to look from your favorite store, we'll ensure you look and feel amazing.
4. Personal Touches
I know the importance of feeling comfortable and celebrated during this milestone. My approach is all about creating a fun and relaxed environment where you can truly be yourself. One of the top ways to personalize your senior photo experience is by adding personal touches. Let's infuse your personality into the photoshoot! From incorporating your favorite flowers, favorite accessories, and sentimental items to showcasing your interests with personalized props, we'll make your session uniquely yours.
