How do I book a session?
Awesome! Just shoot us an email and we will get the process rolling!

How far in advance should I schedule my session?
The sooner the better! We take a limited number of sessions each year so we want to get a date locked in for you before we fill up!

What is your editing style?
We edit and enhance your images to be as beautiful and natural as possible! What this means is that we edit to show off your stunning self as perfectly as we can! We do blemish removal and fix anything that is temporary! The poses and angles that we use flatter to begin with so you will be looking your best!

Will you give posing suggestions? I am nervous!
First of all, don’t be nervous! You are going to have a blast! This is not a depressing fashion shoot but a super fun, comfortable photo shoot! There will be much laughing!

Who should I bring with me to my shoot?
We love having moms, dads, good friends, or anyone that you are completely comfortable with in normal life! If you would rather fly solo, we are totally cool with that too!

What should I wear?
Since this session is about showing off YOU and your amazing personality, you should dress in what is comfortable for you. Dressy casual is usually the name of the game for most seniors!

What does “location(s) of your choice” mean?
This means that we are flexible and will shoot anywhere in a 30 mile radius of Blaine, MN at no extra cost! Locations further away from the cities can definitely be worked out at additional cost!

I am a young lady! Should I get my hair & makeup professionally done?
Yes! We work with very talented hair & makeup artists and offer this as a discounted add-on! If you have a hair & makeup artist that you want to work with, great!

When will I get to see my images?
We have a 4 week turn-around time… but we promise to throw a sneak peek your way! 🙂

I know we are not required to print through the Black Diamond Senior Photography but can we?
Definitely! You can actually order prints directly from your online album!

Invitations! I’m overwhelmed, can you help me print these?
Of course! We partner with one of the most well known invitations companies and all you have to do is let me know which image you want to use and you will have access to the full Minted.com printshop!

If there is bad weather on the day of my shoot what happens?
We are happy to work with you to reschedule your session and make something work well as a replacement date!

Where do I change my clothes?
If your shoot location has a bathroom, that will be our best option! But since many of our sessions take place in locations that do not have bathrooms nearby (park reserves, etc.), be ready to turn your car into your personal dressing room!

How do I receive more info?
