Everything You’re Wondering About

Why do I need to come in to view my gallery in person?

Let’s be real: have you ever looked at photos on your dad’s Android? Or your boyfriend’s iPhone with True Tone on and brightness at 5%? It's wicked. That’s exactly why I insist on in-person gallery reveals. The screen you view your photos on matters a lot. I want you to see your images the way they’re meant to be seen—accurate colors, perfect skin tones, and no surprise shadows. When you view your photos in my studio, you’ll know exactly how they’ll look printed, posted, or shared with friends and family. No funky filters, no screen confusion—just your photos, exactly as they should be.

Why do your packages include fewer images than others?

Because we’re doing more than handing over files—we’re curating an experience. While other studios may show you just a highlight reel, you will see your entire fully edited gallery. Yep, no matter what package you choose, you’ll get to view every edited image from your session and choose your absolute favorites to take home. It's not about less—it’s about making sure you get exactly what you love.

What are pop-up sessions and are they included?

Yes, they’re included—and they’re one of the best parts of being a Poetic Poppy senior. Pop-ups are quick, styled mini-sessions held a few times during the school year. Think: a cozy fall shoot, a cap-and-gown moment, or a glam holiday vibe. They’re perfect for switching up your feed and celebrating senior year all year long. No extra cost, no extra pressure—just bonus memories.

What makes booking with Poetic Poppy different?

Let’s cut to it: you’re not just booking senior pictures. You’re booking a vision, a vibe, and someone who knows how to make your session feel like you—not just a Pinterest board. I don’t do recycled locations, cookie-cutter poses, or heavy editing that doesn’t even look like your real skin tone. I’m an experienced educator in the photography space, which means I bring industry-level quality and attention to detail to every session. I know what works in front of the camera and how to bring out your confidence behind it. This isn’t about trends—it’s about timeless photos that still feel fresh, fun, and uniquely yours.
