THE GUIDE 01

WHAT TO KNOW


805 senior portraits DETAILS



Everything you need to know to feel confident and prepared for your senior session.

01. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?

The earlier, the better. Senior sessions are photographed on Fridays and Saturdays, and dates are limited. If you need a yearbook portrait, we'll plan your session with enough time for your school's submission deadline.

02. HOW DO I BOOK?

Start by getting in touch through the contact page. We'll talk about what you're looking for, choose your session, and find a date that works.

03. WHERE WILL WE SHOOT?

805 Senior Portraits photographs throughout San Luis Obispo and California's Central Coast, including Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Arroyo Grande, and downtown San Luis Obispo.

Your location should feel like you — beach, downtown, something a little unexpected, or a mix of both.


04. WHAT ABOUT MY YEARBOOK PHOTO?

Yearbook submission is included. We'll make sure you have an image that meets your school's requirements while still feeling like you.

05. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Bring clothes you actually love wearing. We'll talk about wardrobe before your session and choose pieces that photograph beautifully and work with our locations.


06. WHAT IF THE WEATHER DOESN'T COOPERATE?

Central Coast weather has a mind of its own. If conditions truly aren't going to work for your session, we'll choose another date.

07. WHEN WILL I SEE MY PHOTOGRAPHS?

Your finished photographs will be ready approximately 2–3 weeks after your session. Each image is carefully selected and individually retouched before your gallery is delivered.

08. CAN MY FAMILY ORDER PRINTS & WALL ART?

Absolutely. Your family can order fine art prints, wall art, albums, and additional photographs from your senior session.

09. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Once you're ready, get in touch. We'll choose your session date, talk about what you're looking for, and start planning your shoot.
