The Process
Welcome! Your senior photo experience starts here! Tour the studio and meet us.
You share your vision of how you want to display your story.
Decide on location, style, accessories, and props, and peruse products to help you envision what you might want from your session.
Meet us at the studio for final photo prep a few hours before your session.
This can include hair and makeup for the ladies and hair and skin touch-ups for the guys.
Final touch-ups to clothing with special attention to styling details and organization of props.
With you and your parent(s), photos start in studio or on location.
While having fun, you will experience a session that is about your style, your passions, your interests -- in short, your authentic self.
You and your parents come in for a personalized image reveal where you all choose favorites and place an order!
Deciding which products tell your story with the most impact is where we can help.
We've got you covered!
We will design your yearbook senior ad and, after proof-approval from you, submit it to the yearbook!
We also take care of all the little things, like yearbook headshot and senior photos for the graduation slideshow!
Senior year is full of amazing milestones, and we are your senior photographer for the year.
Collect and preserve your homecoming, prom, and graduation memories in your senior album.
All packages include these milestone sessions.
Wall portraits, designer albums, senior announcements, party invitations, photo gifts for family...
Once your items are ready, you can pick them up, or we can deliver them to you.
Wall groupings receive special attention - we'll hang them for you!
Senior Video
One of the most unique things about Jody Rael Photography is the video experience we offer. We have a full-time videographer on staff that attends almost all of our senior sessions and edits one of the most amazing and emotional videos about your senior. Below is a sample of a few of the Senior Highlights we share in the week following the session, as well as, a sample of our full Senior Video.

Experiences and Pricing
There are two parts to the investment of senior portraits. The session retainer, which is often called the creative fee, reserves the session time and covers the hard costs of the session. Additionally, a minimum product investment is held as a deposit for use during the ordering appointment. About two weeks after the photo session, you come back to the studio to view and order your portraits. You identify your favorite images and how to display them. The minimum product investment for these sessions start at $995 and applies to your portrait order.
