Thank you so much for visiting, showing interest in my work, and considering booking your 2022 Senior portraits with me. The Seniors of 2022 will be my ninth class that I will have the honor of creating Senior Portraits for.
Class of 2022, please do not hesitate to book! My session dates for the classes of 2014 through 2021 have all sold out and I cannot thank our community enough for the support! This season I plan to have about 20 weekend session date openings and only 30-40 total session openings. I will also have weekday sessions available on Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings.
Please review all the information on this page regarding investment rates, inclusions, contractual details and more. Once you are ready to discuss booking, or have further questions please contact me for details. Deposits are now being accepted as reservations to choose specific session dates on a first come first serve basis.

Additional Considerations
2. I can offer several free public photo location options for your session in New Iberia. If you choose a location that has a fee you are responsible for paying that additional fee directly to the venue. If you have a different location you would like to use, please let me know
3. Fees for Hair and Makeup Professionals for service in the salon or on set are separate and are paid by the client directly to that vendor.
4. I am an outdoor, natural light photographer. Mother Nature is my studio and we may be at her whim for a usable day. The color and quality of the light and the amount of natural light available on the day of your session will set the color grading tone of your images. We will closely monitor the weather and I will make suggestions based on the information we have available at the time and in most cases it will be your final call on whether to proceed or reschedule if the weather is a concern. Days are left open each season specifically for this. Weather concerns may include forecasted or actual rain, gusty wind, too cold, too humid, poor light quality due to heavy cloud cover or recent rains that left wet locations. Also, due to the COVID-19 environment any symptoms or recent exposure can require a reschedule. I will not be wearing a mask and do not expect you or anyone in your party to if they do not want to. I will do my best to minimize touching and to social distance as possible based on your comfort level. If your session day must be postponed due to weather or illness you will be rescheduled to the next available session day (weekend or weekday as available) that fits both of our schedules.
5. In order to secure your spot on the calendar a session dependent $50 or $100 booking retainer deposit is required and dates are not held until that is received.
6. All images in your gallery will be “artistically edited” meaning your images will have a cohesive look based on the light available at shooting time and they will be technically adjusted for color, cropping, exposure, clarity, temperature balance, shadows, highlights, minor surface blemish removal, realistic teeth whitening etc. Premium retouching for more specific issues like tan lines, extensive acne, excessive fly aways for hair, realistic figure slimming, possible digital braces removal, etc. may be added onto any image for an additional fee.
7. A few more consideration when booking with me. Honestly, if you are just looking for a button clicker on a nice camera, I may not be your girl. If you are looking for someone to just recreate other photographers Pinterest poses, I may not be for you. If you are looking for someone who is beginning portfolio building, looking to work for experience, willing to work for exposure or someone who is not a legal, tax paying, insurance carrying business, I am not for you. But, if you are looking for someone who truly loves working with this age group and will always find a way to make even the most hesitant teen loosen up and feel comfortable, someone who makes sure to build their confidence and get real smiles, someone professional who invests in our community, gear and education, someone who has shot hundreds of sessions and understands posing and light, someone who values their own artistic eye and creativity and truly considers what she does an art...a gift, someone you can trust to deliver clear, beautiful images to help you and your child remember this time in their life...well then I just may be your girl! :)
The AKSP Advantage
I know that you have lots of choices when considering who to work with for this milestone moment in your life and I am honored that you are considering me! Now that you’ve looked through my portfolio to see samples of my work on my home page, including 2021 Seniors showcased on this page, and you’ve seen my competitive pricing there are a few more things for you to consider when making your decision.
Knocking on wood here, but my sessions are generally returned to you in two weeks or less! I know you are excited to see your images and (barring extenuating and rare circumstances) I won’t make you wait any longer than possible to enjoy your images!
I work with a professional, high end, full beauty Retoucher to make sure you look like the best version of yourself! We make sure that retouching looks real and never like over blurred or plasticized skin, orangey or blue skin tones, over whitened teeth or glowing eyes. I insist that skin still looks like beautiful skin with natural texture but we make sure to expertly remove those temporary blemishes, smooth uneven texture, soften slight wrinkles and naturally whiten teeth and make sure your eyes look natural and beautiful.
Do you hate buying something only to see it go on sale later? Well, me too! You will never see a better value on my 2022 sessions as you do at the time of booking so you do not have to worry about waiting for a sale to book and risk getting leftover dates or seeing the session you had at any better rate.
When I post sneak peek images from sessions the comments from friends almost always include something along the lines of “Oh wow, I love all of them so far, how will you ever pick??” That is where my clients can relax and smile because they don’t have to pick! I have a no image left behind philosophy and you will get all of the images that are included in your package. So no worrying about loving an image but not being able to afford it after the fact, no worrying about if you don’t buy additional images will they be deleted, no worrying about a small sitting fee in the beginning and a big bill at the end to actually get your images, no worrying at all. They are all yours!
Your session includes the download of digital images that I choose as your best of the best images from your session which can be viewed as film negatives were pre-digital age. You will be able to share online and via email. You will be able to print what, when and where you want. For your convenience, I will also pre-upload your entire gallery to my recommended online consumer printer at www.MPIX.com. They often run sales and it is easy with all of your images loaded to make your choices. Photo collage graduation announcements are a popular alternative to the traditional formal invite and wallets and can easily be ordered.
Ordering prints from my professional lab is also available direct in your gallery on my site and is as easy as online shopping.
I also know that this is a milestone event that everyone feels pressure to get right. I want to make sure you feel prepared and comfortable going into your session so I will work with you to guide you in choosing your outfits, give you tips on how to prepare your hair, skin, and nails and assist you in rocking your personal style and looking your best. You will be prepared and confident!
Print Options
Digitals images are convenient, easy to share and if stored properly can be accessible for a long time for reproduction and sending to friends and family and they also give you the freedom to print what, where and when you want.
After your session and when you receive your images digitally I encourage you to make sure that you get some printed as well. Prints are what we love to thumb through over the years and display to bring us joy daily.
You will have several options to get your digital images as prints:
1. Purchase images as popular print items direct from your gallery on my site through my professional lab
In AKSP online gallery print prices:
2. Order print items through me and my professional lab by submitting your order via text, phone call or email. Payment for direct orders is expected a the time of the order. All items will have the addition of sales tax.

Additional Options
3. For your convenience, your gallery will also be uploaded to a popular consumer printing lab site, www.MPix.com, and you can make selections and order from there. They often run great sales and 4x6 start at just .29
4. You may download your files and upload them at any photo lab of your choice with your print release. I cannot guarantee image, paper or color quality from any lab orders other than my own.
5. Photo Graduation invites and thank you cards are a great idea and greatly appreciated by the recipient. You will fins lots of easy choices on mpix.com
