What to bring to your photo session
Bring the outfits you feel your best in. What’s your look? Is it Casual, Western, Contemporary, Sporty, Formal, Punk, or Goth? Whatever the look, it's yours and deserves to be captured! Don’t forget to bring everything to complete the look. Letter sweaters or jackets, trophies, medals, and musical instruments also make nice additions to a Senior Portrait. You can also include your favorite sports gear, maybe a uniform, cheerleading or dance ensemble. Toss in the appropriate props to complete the shot. If you have your cap & gown, bring ‘em along. We also welcome well behaved pets! If you bring your pet, please bring someone along to care for him/her while the rest of your photos are being done. Feel free to include your car, motorcycle, horse or other livestock in the Let's Go Wild or Way Out There packages. If you'd like to experience a night time photo shoot, or something using digital composition and special effects, go for the Way Out There package!
A Mother's Perspective
Dear d.a.,
I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I (and Sarah) enjoyed her Senior Portrait sessions with you. Being a parent of a senior girl of course I wanted this to be a perfect occasion and you did everything in your power to make it a reality for us.
What I really appreciated was the way that you made sure to include the shots that Sarah wanted and also the shots that her dad and I wanted. By the end of the shoot, Sarah was feeling like a super-model so no wonder the photos came out so wonderful. She was completely at ease!!!
I also wanted to thank you for taking such care when selecting the proofs and giving us such a wonderful selection to choose from, complete with “finish” ideas.
We are very happy with our “senior” photos and would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking at having photos taken.
Your talent as an artist is very apparent!
Sincerely,
Sandy Call

High School Senior Perspectives:
d.a russell is a great photographer to work with. At the shoot i was a little uncomfortable at first, but once we started rolling I just wanted it to go on forever. d.a has done both senior and modeling shoots for me. He's really a fun guy to work with; he's laid back, fun, talkative, and just wonderful to work with. It was like having a friend along. The poses are fun, the photographer is great and I just felt so comfortable. I don't know what else to say other than he was a great guy to work with as well talk to, and I'm happy that the pictures turned out great - I love the way they look!

We had a wonderful senior photo experience with d.a. He had a lot of great ideas and also was very open to us incorporating our own ideas. We laughed and just enjoyed the day greatly. We felt like we had known d.a. for years.
We were so happy with our senior photos and would definitely recommend d.a. to others.
