NOW BOOKING CLASS of 2025 FOR THE SPRING

and

CLASS of 2026 FOR THE SUMMER

HELLO SENIORS!

This year is going to be huge and we want to be part of it.

We want you to love your images so take a moment and check out our style. If you like what you see, then whatcha waiting for?? Let’s do this thing! When it comes to your senior portraits, we prefer to photograph you in the summer and early fall. This gives you as much time as possible to use and enjoy your senior images. Here is a little bit more about what you can expect with a MIKE + JULIE session. 

You're unique... shouldn't your Senior Pictures be too?

We love to see the authentic you. We live for genuine personality, and we won’t settle for your fake smile. That’s for sure. We live for real connections with the camera. One really cool thing about working with us is that we’re here to partner with you to create something distinct. We’re not the photographers for you if you want your senior pictures to look like everyone else’s. You’re not just anybody. You’re YOU. Let’s celebrate that by creating a set of images that showcases who you really are.

What's a senior session with MIKE + JULIE like?

Depending on which session you select, we’ll spend our time together at the Kansas City metro location(s) of your choice. We’ll work together with you to choose a location that has great lighting and the best spots to move around within. We will do a big mix of smiling/serious looks, all in an attempt to discover your most authentic expressions. We will DEFINITELY be capturing your personality. It’s priority #1 around here. Because you know what you want better than anyone else, we want to hear from you during your session. If you have an idea, share it! Let’s work together.

What happens after the session?

Once your session is over, the agonizing wait begins! Once we are done preparing your images and designs, you’ll cozy up in your favorite spot from the convenience of your home for your guided ordering session via Zoom. This is when you’ll see your images for the first time, as well as seeing your very own wall art and album preview. You’ll place your order at this meeting. PLUS… we promise to come alongside you to help you prepare for your ordering session, no worries.

How do I book/reserve a session?

Your session date is reserved once your portrait contract is signed and your session fee is paid.

When is the best time for my session?

Our favorite time of day to shoot is during the evening a few hours before sunset. It’s hands-down the most flattering light of the day!

What if I have to reschedule?

Payment of your session fee reserves that day and time for you, and you alone. So, when you can’t make it, no one else gets that spot either. But we totally understand that life happens. You get one complimentary reschedule for any reason. After that, if you still need to reschedule there is a $75 rescheduling fee.

What about props?

We want you to bring anything and everything that’s personal for you. Football, books, a piano, favorite chair, your very own artwork-WE LOVE IT!

Can I suggest some locations for my session?

Totally. In fact, that’s pretty much the best idea ever. We want to hear your ideas and go-to spots that you’re really excited about. The sessions that are the MOST fun are those where we get to explore a new space, somewhere fresh and unexpected. Somewhere all of your friends didn’t go. But, we also want to make sure it’s a good spot for shooting in. We’ll work with you to make sure your location makes your pictures look incredible.

What if the weather is bad on the day of my session?

Since we live in the midwest, where if it was sunny and 60 the day before, that means it will be windy and 30 degrees on the of your session-lol. If the forecast calls for unsuitable shooting conditions (rain/strong winds/snow/excessive heat), we will contact you the night before your session and see if it’s possible to make a call at that time. Often though, it’s a matter of waiting until those last few hours before to really know. If that’s the case, we will call you 3 hours prior to let you know our thoughts. If we postpone, no worries! We’ll compare calendars and come up with an alternate date that works well for both of us!

What if I am late to my session?

Well, stuff happens, we understand and it’s not a problem. We try not to book sessions back to back for just this reason, but often it’s a matter of running out of light. No light=no pictures. It’s just that simple. For that reason, if you are more than 20 minutes late we will automatically reschedule.

Do you offer hair and make-up?

Oh, heck yeah, we do. We have a few favorite artists who are here to make you look fabulous! In fact, check out our Deluxe Session. It comes with pro hair and make-up.

Can I get studio portraits?

Well, you can, just not with us 😉  Studio work is great and all, don’t get us wrong. We just like the freedom of a real environment and God’s light more. It’s actually an important element in what makes our style look the way it does.

Do you offer digitals?

Yep, we sure do. You can purchase one individual file, a bundle, or your whole session-perfect for Instagram and loading on your phone. You even have a chance to earn your digitals. But, that digital file sure won’t look as nice on your walls as a big, beautiful framed print though 😉
