Booking senior photos is a big milestone not just for your senior, but for you as a parent. At Brittany Hanson Photography (BHP), the senior photo experience is designed to be organized, stress-free, and meaningful, while still being fun for your senior. This isn’t just about pretty photos, it’s about creating an experience your senior will remember long after graduation.

Here’s a full look at what parents can expect from the BHP Experience, from the first inquiry to final image delivery.

Step 1: Inquiry & Booking – Clear, Simple, Stress-Free

For transparency, all of my packages, prices and what they include are available on my website. I know everyone wants different things out of their session and has different price points they are comfortable spending so no time is wasted when all the information is available to you up front.

After selecting a session, booking is completed online with a signed contract and retainer. From there, your date is officially reserved, and the BHP Experience begins.

Parent perk: Clear communication and organized systems so nothing falls through the cracks.

Step 2: Pre-Session Planning – We Plan, So You Don’t Have To

This is where BHP truly stands out. Every senior receives guidance before their session so they feel prepared and confident. After booking you’ll receive an email with a link to a private page on my website that houses prep guides, outfit guides and a way to book our pre session consultation. I strive to everything set in stone at least two weeks prior to your session.

Parents and seniors can expect:

• Outfit guidance and styling tips
• Location recommendations around Olympia and the surrounding areas
• Help choosing a session vibe that fits your senior’s personality
• Clear expectations for timing, weather, and logistics

Seniors are encouraged to be involved in the planning process, which helps them feel excited and invested rather than nervous going into their session.

Parent perk: No guessing, no last-minute stress, and no wondering if you’re doing things “right.”

Step 3: Session Day – Confidence Over Posing

On session day, the focus is simple: helping your senior feel comfortable being themselves.

Your senior does not need modeling experience. Every session includes:

• Natural posing guidance (no stiff or awkward poses)
• Encouragement and hype to build confidence
• A relaxed, fun environment where seniors can just be themselves

Parents are always welcome to attend sessions, especially at the beginning, but many seniors feel most confident when they can relax and trust the process.

Parent perk: A confident senior who actually enjoys the experience.

Step 4: Image Selection – No Overwhelm

After the session, images are professionally edited and delivered in a proofing gallery. From there, you’ll select your favorites based on the package you chose.

You’ll receive guidance on:

• Choosing images for graduation announcements
• Selecting photos that work well for prints and wall art
• Making sure you have images that reflect your senior’s personality, not just trends

Parent perk: A simple, guided process instead of hundreds of images to sort through alone.

Step 5: Final Gallery Delivery – Photos That Feel Like Them

Your final gallery includes timeless, personality-driven images that celebrate who your senior is in this season of life. These images are designed to:

• Look beautiful now
• Still feel meaningful years from now
• Represent your senior authentically

This is often the moment parents realize the experience was about more than photos, it captured confidence, growth, and a major life transition.

More Than Photos: The BHP Difference

The BHP Experience is intentionally designed to:

• Build confidence in seniors
• Remove stress for parents
• Create images that feel genuine, not forced

From start to finish, you can expect professionalism, communication, and an experience that honors how important senior year truly is.

If you’re looking for senior photos in Olympia, WA that feel personal, organized, and unforgettable – the BHP Experience was created for you.
