what to expect
your experience
This guide will paint the picture of what to expect when you invest in a session with me. You're investing in an experience designed to tell your story authentically and create images you'll treasure for years to come.
How it works
1. connect
Once you decide on your date and time during the booking process, you'll answer plenty of questions that give me an idea of who you are and what you're after. Within 48 hours, you'll hear from me and we will start planning.
2. create
Show up to your session and just be present. My goal is to create an experience and I'll be guiding you every step of the way. Within minutes you will feel comfortable and at ease while I bring your vision to life.
3. remember
Within 48 hours of your session you will be able to see beautiful images from your session selected for your preview. You'll be able to share your images with friends and family while you patiently wait for your completed gallery to be delivered.
From planning to memories, every step with intention
Professional photography isn't just about having beautiful images—it's about preserving a season of life exactly as it felt. The laugh you forgot about. The way your daughter looked at this age. The excitement of your senior year. The connection you share with the people you love most.
FAQ
Do I need to know how to pose?
Absolutely not. Most of my clients tell me they're nervous about being in front of the camera, and that's completely normal. I'll guide you every step of the way with prompts and direction that feel natural and comfortable. My approach focuses on movement, conversation, and genuine moments so your gallery feels authentic rather than stiff or overly posed.
What if the weather is bad?
If weather conditions aren't ideal, we'll reschedule for the next available date that works for both of us. I want your images to be worth the wait.
What if I have a specific vision or Pinterest board?
Add me to your board- or send me your inspiration! Sharing your vision for your session with me helps me understand the vibe that you're going for. Once I understand, I'll know the type of location and prompts to bring your vision to life.
can you photoshop me?
I lightly retouch temporary blemishes and distractions while keeping you looking like yourself. My goal is natural, timeless images—not overly edited ones.
"Jerri did an absolutely amazing job capturing not only beautiful photos but also my daughter’s personality, confidence, and excitement as she prepares for her senior year. From the moment we started, she made the entire experience fun, relaxed, and enjoyable.
The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined, and I am absolutely in love with every single one of them! Senior year is such a special milestone, and I am so thankful to have these memories captured so perfectly. I can’t wait to get more done and see what amazing things she has in mind.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, patient, and truly has an eye for capturing special moments, I highly recommend Jerri Sparks. Thank you for helping us celebrate this exciting chapter in such a beautiful way. We will treasure these photos for years to come!"
