Oh hey there Senior!
Let’s celebrate who you are, the hopes and dreams you have your crazy-bright future, and everything you love with
senior pictures that make you feel amazing!
It is my goal that all your uniqueness is preserved in fun and creative portraits that will stand the test of time. A session with me is so much more than smiling at the camera — together we will explore, laugh, and tell the story of you through a gallery of stunning images!
"Tisha was a joy to work with for all my kids senior pictures -- she's not just a horse photographer y'all!"
Chances are you have been looking forward to your senior year for a little while now because this is the year when the spotlight is on YOU. For this reason you shouldn’t settle for anything less than EXTRAORDINARY for your senior portraits. A session with me includes…
Personalized Experience
Photos with me are an experience completely tailored around you and everything you love. With over 15 years of experience behind the lens, I am confident in giving you an experience that will be a highlight of your senior year.
All-Inclusive Packages
Every package includes hand selected digital images that are fully retouched and delivered to a private online gallery for your enjoyment along with a limited print release and credit to get your favorite images turned into work works of art.
Professional Print Products
As much as I love seeing your flaunt your images on social media, where they really shine is in print. Whether it’s a canvas on your wall or an album on your coffee table, I promise only the best quality.
What to expect with me at you photographer…

After we get your session officially on the books, we start planning your session together. A questionnaire and planning guide will find it’s way to you by email to help me get to know you better and the vision you have for your senior portrait session.
As the session gets closer I will check in with you to make sure planning on your end is going smoothly and we will finalize any last minute details like your locations and our start times. Any time throughout, I am always available for questions and concerns....even if it is texting me from the dressing room while shopping for the perfect outfits for your session. The week before your session you will get a reminder in your inbox about the session and then on the night before or the day of your session you will get a text reminder from me to finalize time, meeting place, and any weather concerns if any.
-
On the day of your session we start by going over a plan for our time together and I will go through the wardrobe you brought to help finalize what outfits you will wear and when. I may also take a little time to also explore the location so I can determine what areas will make the best environment for the vision you have for your senior portraits.
During your shoot I will guide you through posing and interacting with your props so that you look natural and comfortable at all time. Sometimes things may feel awkward but trust the crazy lady holding the camera, she has your back and won’t make you look a fool! I want you to be really comfortable all throughout the session so if having a friend and hype girl there (other than me hyping you up) I highly suggest inviting a bestie to crack those jokes and bring out those REAL smiles. Expect to have FUN because I am not someone that does serious well.

After your session, I go to work obsessing over every detail so that the gallery you receive is everything you dreamed of. Every image you get back is hand-edited with care and because of that the editing process takes up to 5 weeks. I edit sessions in order of when they are photographed and because my work suffers if I jump around between sessions, I only edit one session at a time so I don’t typically give sneak peeks until I have started editing your session. Once your gallery is perfected and ready to share you will receive an email with the link to your online gallery along with download instructions and your print release. Your release allows for you to share digitally however you wish as well as print on your own up to 8x10 size. Larger prints, wall art, and albums can be ordered through your gallery or directly from me or you may purchase a full print release of your images if you desire to print on your own. Ordering prints through me and the professional print labs that I am partnered with guarantees you the best quality to display in your home.
“Tisha has done all my kids senior photos now and we truly loved working with her and the photos are exactly what we wanted.”
packages ranging from $400 - $1,900

I always suggest 2-3 months in advance is best to not only secure a date on my calendar but to give you time to prepare. June-October are the most popular months so I suggest if you would like one of those to snag them by April. Yearbook and school deadlines may also effect when you want/need to book by. I do release some last minute openings on social media but they do go quick!
-
Because I only deliver a gallery of finished, hand-edited images the editing process may take up to 5 weeks however I am willing to work with deadlines if you need photos by a certain date. Depending on the requested turnaround time, rush fees may apply.
-
There is no distance I won’t go for an epic photo session! Travel fees apply outside of a 50 mile radius of 50138
-
A non-refundable deposit is required to hold your session on my calendar along with a signed session agreement and it secures you a make-up session in a timely manner in the event we need to reschedule due to unfavorable weather or uncontrollable circumstances. Deposit fees are $200+ depending on your session location and package selection. This deposit goes toward your total session investment.
-
YES! After the initial deposit is made your invoice link is always open for you to make custom payments anytime before your session. If your balance is unable to be paid by the time of the session I am flexible in working out a payment arrangement that spans farther but please note that no photos are edited/delivered until the session fee is fully paid.
-
Yes! I have an add-on option to allow your session time to be split over multiple dates. It is very popular for my seniors with livestock and horses or those that just want a mix of two seasons in their photos.
-
Yes! There is an add-on option to the packages that allow for some dedicated family portraits the same day as your senior booking.
-
Yes! If a studio portion of photos is something you desire please make me aware of that ad we can secure studio time as well for your session. There is a studio rental fee of $75 required if adding the studio onto your session and studio set ups are only available in Des Moines.
-
I completely understand that mother nature has a mind of it’s own and for that I only book limited number of sessions each month so there ample dates available for rescheduling. Because the forecast can change a lot over just a few days I don’t make any final call on weather until we are within a day or two from the session.
If your session is over 200mile from my home zip code I do ask that you are available the day before and after your session if possible for possible weather changes.
-
In the event that the client needs to reschedule for any reason a notice of 2 weeks is required for any non-emergent reasoning to avoid forfeiting the deposit. Reschedules must happen within one year of the original session date, failure to reschedule within one year will result in termination of contract and I retain the non-refundable deposit.
In the event that client wishes to cancel session for any reason, a Cancellation Agreement must be signed and I retain the non-refundable deposit. Item description
-
YES! Show those images off!! I just ask that you do not add any filters or do additional editing to the images that would change the integrity of the art I created for you.
Please take a good look at my portfolio and make sure my editing style fits what you are wanting for your finished photos so no additional edit is needed
Also when sharing online, a shoutout is always much appreciated. :)
-
I completely respect my clients wishes and work with several clients that wish to have their images kept offline. When you are signing your session agreement there is a section regarding this and you can select to keep your photos totally private.
-
As much as I would love to provide you with the highest quality of print products through my partnered professional labs, I do not require you to purchase from me. The print release included in all packages allow for you to make your own prints up to an 8x10 size with an option to purchase a higher resolution release if desired to do your own printing.
Please note if you choose to print the photos on your own I cannot guarantee the quality of prints you receive as most consumer labs use lower quality paper and inks which effect the print quality.
