Session Types
Class of 2023 Portfolio Sessions
Portfolio sessions describe the type of photography you'll experience during the time the photographer and subject (that's you) work together to create your portraits. Just as an actor or model will have a portfolio of their work - showing a variety of moods and expressions, these sessions are designed to give you a variety of images to select from.
Gray's Mountain Studio will only do 30 sessions per year (combined Image Portfolio, Senior Portfolio, and Model Portfolio sessions)- max. We realize that, with this limit, not everyone will be able to have images created at Gray's Mountain Studio - but it ensures every senior that does - will have images that are unique, fun, and full of creativity. The old saying, "You snooze..." applies here. So select your portfolio session and give us a call.
Basic Portfolio Session
This is a half-hour session including 16 images to select from. We have found this session to be popular with seniors that want great portraits, but don’t want to spend a lot of time in front of the camera. You’ll have time for up to two-three outfits. We recommend that you bring between 4 and 5 outfits and let us help you select the two or three we’ll use for your session.
Your investment: 45 minutes of Camera Room Time and a $135.00 Session Fee
Image Portfolio - Our Most Popular!
This is by far our most popular senior portrait session - giving you 24 - 32 images to select from. With up to an hour and a half of camera room time to create a variety of images, this session gives us the ability to create several different looks with a variety of outfits. The studio’s outdoor area is included in this session – you decide on the mix of studio and outdoor images - some seniors like all in the studio, some like most outdoors, and others like an even mix. If you’re looking for variety, creativity, and fun – this is the session for you. To get the most out of this session, bring between 6 and 12 outfits and we’ll help you select the best ones for your session.
Your investment: One and a half hours of Camera Room Time and a $165.00 Session Fee
Senior Portfolio - Add a Unique Twist to Your Session
As the name implies, this session is for those interested in some serious photography. If you’re looking for a session packed with clothing changes and a variety of different looks, this session gives it all to you. To create the 40 images, this session will take about three hours. Part of your session will be an On-Location Session – you can choose one of the six location settings that reflect your personality.
Your investment: Two Hours of Camera Room Time plus One Hour On Location and a $270.00 Session Fee
Model Portfolio Session
This session is for the senior that wants it all. The Model Portfolio is for the senior that wants to get into modeling or just feel like a model during their session. We’ll start with a planning session to map out the session – from the studio images to your outdoor location. In the planning session, we’ll also discuss clothing, style, and type of images that will show all aspects of your personality. You can have the entire session done at the studio or do a combination of the studio and two On Location sites. Due to the amount of photography, this session will be photographed on two separate days – studio one day and On-Location sessions on the second day. We’ll create 60 images from the sessions for you to select from when placing your senior portraits.
Your investment: Four Hours of photography time and a $360.00 Session Fee
On-Location Portfolio
Take advantage of the great outdoors or other portrait locations that you’ve always wanted to be photographed at as part of your senior portrait experience. We’ll travel up to a half-hour from the studio to photograph you at the location of your choice. Not sure of where you’d like to be photographed? No problem, we have selected areas that we can recommend to make your session unique. The session will take about an hour and will include up to two outfits. Because we’re on location, plan to wear one of your outfits to the location. That way you only have one clothing change while on location. This session can be added to any of the senior portrait sessions.
Your investment: 45 minutes of On Location Time and $135 Location Session Fee
