Your style, your hobbies, your quirks. This session is all about you, and there's no one else quite like you.

A gift for your family

Years from now you'll flip through these with your own kids. Every session includes real prints, because your parents are old school (and they're right).

Picture this

Here's what your session actually feels like.

Tap through it, start to finish.

01

You pick the vibe.

After you book, I send my session guide with outfit ideas and tips. We pick a spot that feels like you, whether that's the lake, the football field, the meadow behind your house or your favorite dirt road. Not sure about an outfit? Send me a pic and I'll tell you honestly.

02

The awkward part lasts about two minutes.

We walk, we talk, I ask you about your life and probably say something ridiculous to make you laugh. You never have to know how to pose. That's my job! I'll tell you exactly where to stand, what to do with your hands and when to look at me.

03

Then we make it yours.

Throw the football. Sit on the hood of your Jeep. Bring your bestie, your horse or your dog. Change into your jersey or your cap and gown. This is where your session stops looking like everyone else's.

04

The glowy ones.

I time sessions for the softest light of the day, right before sunset. This is when you'll get the photos that end up as your profile pic, your grad announcement and the canvas above your parents' fireplace.

05

The text you send your mom.

Your full gallery lands in your inbox within two weeks. Download your favorites, post away and order your included prints right from the gallery. Then get ready for a lot of "omg you look so grown up" comments.

Real seniors, real personalities.

Football fields, Jeeps, the lake, a whole lot of laughing. No two sessions look the same.

Things you might be thinking

Let's talk about it. Flip each one.

"I'm so awkward in photos."

Real talk

"I'm so awkward in photos."

Almost everyone says this! I'll guide every single pose and keep you laughing, so you never have to wonder what to do.

"I have no idea what to wear."

"I have no idea what to wear."

You'll get my guide with outfit ideas, and you can text me a pic of anything you're unsure about.

"Will these actually look like me?"

Real talk

"Will these actually look like me?"

That's the whole point. Your spot, your things, your people. Bright, natural and true to you, not a filter.

If the weather isn't cooperating, I'll make the call ahead of time and we'll find a new date together.

Alyssa Flores, senior photographer in Chester

hi, I'm Alyssa!

Hey senior!

You might know me as one of the Ayers girls.

I grew up right here in Chester and graduated from CHS. I went to school for photography, became an award-winning wedding photographer and have taught over 100 photographers how to grow their businesses.

Now my family and I are back home, and I'd love to photograph you before you head off on your next adventure.

High school mentorship

Love photography? Let's build your business.

A couple of times a year I take on a high school mentee. No experience needed, just a drive for photography and entrepreneurship. If it weren't for my mentors I wouldn't be where I am today, and now it's my turn to give back.

What you'll learn

A client experience that leads to referrals

To apply, email me why you'd like to be chosen. Tell me who you are, what you love and any experience you have (photography or otherwise).

Good questions.

When will I get my photos?

Your gallery is delivered within two weeks of your session.

How many photos will I get?

It depends on your session length, but you can expect about 40 edited images per hour of shooting.

Can I post them on social media?

Yes please! I just ask that you don't add filters or re-edit them. Tags are always appreciated!

Can I print them myself?

You can! Just choose a quality lab and make sure they don't auto color correct. You can also order prints right from your gallery.

Do I own the rights to my photos?

You'll get a print release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you can't do is sell them as stock photos.

Do you retouch?

I do light retouching on every image, like a blemish or a stray hair. Bigger edits can be added for an extra fee.

Class of next year

Let's make your senior pictures the best ones in the yearbook.

Fill out the form and I'll get back to you within 24 to 48 hours. Parents, you're welcome to fill it out too!
