Let’s get Social!


 
Wausau, WI senior photographers share a review from high school senior portrait session.

“I remember being so nervous walking into the studio for the first time, but Butch’s effortless humor & Kelsy’s warm personality instantly made me feel at ease and allowed me to be my true self in front of the camera.”

- OLIVIA F0X

 

 

Hi, we’re Kelsy & Butch!


As a husband & wife photography team approaching our 18th year in business full-time, our goal is not only to create natural, beautiful images of our seniors. We’ll let you in on a little secret…

It is so much MORE than the photographs!

Every aspect of your senior portrait experience should be just that – an EXPERIENCE.

… One that you are over-the-top pleased with. One that leaves you so comfortable with us, feeling as though we captured everything that makes you, YOU!

… One that makes you smile just thinking back to your memories of the session!

… What are you waiting for?

We can’t wait to get to know you – reach out and let’s dream together!

NATURAL. EFFORTLESS. BRIGHT.

you!

What’s next?

  • Please say hello by completing our inquiry form, and we’ll share more session information via email within 48 hours!

  • When you’ve reviewed the senior session options in our Senior Magazine, it’s time to choose your Session + Date.

    We’ll have a parent sign the contract to complete your booking, and then your date is reserved.

    Next, the fun planning begins!

  • About a month before your shoot, we’ll invite you to fill out a pre-session questionnaire.

    This is also an exciting way for us to hear more about what makes you, YOU! It’s also where you can share all of your wishes for your senior photos – outfits, types of locations, etc.

  • After your questionnaire & outfits are set, it’s time to plan the details!

    We’re well-versed in locations that photograph well, and are happy to handle the exact locations once we know what TYPE of settings you love most (field, water, downtown, you name it!). If you’re hoping for a unique location like your family’s property, horse stables, etc, we’ll cover those details at this time too.

    If you’d like help with styling tips & tricks to make sure your outfits photograph well, we’re happy to chime in and talk outfits!

  • If you’ve chosen to have professional hair/makeup with your session, that’s how you’ll start your day – relaxing & letting the pro’s make you look your best.

    When it’s time to arrive to the studio,= we’ll welcome you in, get you all settled into your private dressing room, and review your outfits together. Then, it’s time to dive in with photos!

  • After your session we’ll be in touch via email to set a date for your in-studio viewing/ordering session. This typically takes place a few weeks after your photo shoot.

    Get excited because it’s is the ultimate way for you + your parent to see ALL of your images!

    You’ll pick out your favorites, revisit the options for taking your pictures home (print & digital options available), and place your order here at the studio.

  • If you choose to order a Collection with digital images, those will arrive via digital download within 6 weeks of your ordering session.

    As soon as your printed products are ready, we’ll set a time for you to pick that up at the studio as well!
