WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I really enjoyed working with Bessie. She was very fun and has a great personality. Bessie helped us pick a beautiful spot to take the pictures. I wanted fall pictures and in the end all the pictures that were taken were stunning. I strongly recommend working with Bessie if you are looking for a good local photographer."

"As a mom of two boys, I had to convince my sons of the importance of senior pictures. Bessie made them feel comfortable, captured the boys' personalities very well and was very efficient and creative during the session."

"I loved working with you, Bessie! You truly care about giving us the best possible experience. You're wonderful to work with, and you have a great eye for photography..."

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

ABSOLUTELY!! I use the studio primarily for high school seniors and headshots. I have everything you need for the best yearbook photo! Backdrop, drape/tux, mirror for the perfect hair!! I even take care of sending it to your school. All you have to do is make sure you know when the deadline is.

I AM NOT COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, WILL YOU HELP WITH POSING?

YES, of course! It’s my favorite part and so much fun, your nerves will only last for seconds when we start, I PROMISE! We have fun and I use your own natural body movements and incorporate that into poses you see on insta and your friends pictures!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO HAVE MY SESSION…

OOOOH, let’s figure out some of your favorite places to be and match your outfits to spots that will bring out your personality! I have TONS of spots and will help you pick!

CAN WE RESCHEDULE?

Yes. We will reschedule for weather or illness. There is a fee if you cancel just because…We can even set up a makeup date just in case during the busy seasons.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?

You should book or start to connect the Spring of your Junior year, at the latest once school is out in June. Even if you don’t want your session to be until the fall, we need to schedule it because the fall leaves dates book up very quickly and there is only time for a handful.

CAN I SHARE TO SOCIAL MEDIA?

Yes!! You will get digital size sneak peaks right after your session and can share them without modification to your favorite places.
