As soon as you know you want me to be your senior photographer, I recommend grabbing a date on the calendar.  I offer a limited number of sessions each month to give each Senior the attention they deserve. My summer dates fill up quick and I'm usually booked a few months out. 

Here's 3 Reasons to book your senior session early:

1.  BETTER CHOICE OF DATES

2.  MORE PREP TIME

3.  TIME TO RESCHEDULE, IF NEEDED

It's easy. You can fill out the contact form on the website. Email me @ michelle@michellebarclayphotography.com or call/text 256-417-0181. I'll send you my dates available to choose from and you'll pay your non refundable deposit to secure your date. 

Absolutely!  Amazing senior photos don't just happen.  As soon as you put your senior photo session on the calendar, the planning emails start hitting your inbox.  From the date you book until the day of your session, you'll receive a welcome packet complete with Session Prep magazine, with tips, tricks, what to wear guide, photoshoot checklist and questionnaires to help  plan the perfect senior session for YOU. About a month prior to your session, we'll have a phone consultation to discuss your ideas, and finalize all of the details.

 At MBP you do not pay extra for digital files included with your session. They are included in your session price. You do have the option to purchase more digital files and they're $15 each.

All MBP images are lightly edited  to remove any minor blemishes, small spots or scratches, small bruises, or single stray hairs. There is a charge for extensive retouching and you will be provided an invoice prior to retouching. Extensive retouching ex, wrinkled clothes, hair ties on wrist, removing unwanted items, tan lines, etc.

NO. Your session fee includes a limited print release. You are allowed to print prints up to 11x14 only. All other products would need to be ordered through MBP.  However I feel that you should have something to reflect back on during this special time in your child's life than just the digitals. I have several professional products to offer at affordable prices, and payment options to accommodate any budget. A 4x6 print starts at $6. Packages start at $250. 

No. I do not provide hair and make-up. However I do highly recommend it! Professional makeup artists have experience in makeup application for photography. They know how different makeup will appear on camera. They have high quality products in every shade imaginable. They know how to contour and choose colors that highlight your best features. They’ll have you feeling confident, beautiful, and ready to start your session with confidence. I have several artist I recommend and pricing starts at $85.

The weather is very unpredictable and I try to keep from rescheduling if rain is in the forecast. I will watch the weather the day of your session, keep in contact with you and make the best decision for your shoot prior yo meeting for hair and makeup. Don't worry if we have to reschedule we will get your shoot done!

I keep my sessions time based because not all seniors are alike. This gives you the opportunity to select what will work best for you. If you just want to have a short and quick session we can do that, and if you want to go all out I got you covered. The MBP Mini session pricing begins at $399. 

All photoshoots take place during the week in the afternoon/evening to achieve the best possible light. Weekend sessions are available for additional cost.  

Absolutely! If you have a favorite destination such as the beach, mountains or wherever your heart desires, contact me for a custom quote and travel plan.
