You may have seen or heard me mention Boomerang Sessions. You could probably make an educated guess about exactly what that is, but instead of leaving you guessing, why don't I just tell you! Boomerang sessions are sessions that are added on to your senior experience session, designed to capture all the exciting milestones that happen throughout your senior year. These sessions are done with the specific purpose of added images to your album to complete your story.
Think about it, you have homecoming, prom, your 18th birthday, banquets, etc. And these are just the exciting events! There are also parts of your high school experience that you might really want to capture like a sporting event or maybe your instrument or the uniform, or a photoshoot with your best friends. Or maybe you just took your senior pictures earlier in the year and you want something updated. There are lots of reasons you might want to book a boomerang session! Here are a few ideas.
Cap and Gown Photos
I have a lot of clients that really want that cap and gown photo, something more exciting than the school yearbook photo. And lots of clients bring their cap and gown (or borrow one) to their senior experience session, which is totally fine! But there are a lot of clients that book in the summer and fall, when they don't have their cap and gown yet. Or even early spring clients that don't want to spend one of their outfits on the cap and gown. This is where the boomerang session comes in. We schedule their short boomerang session to capture those images.
College T Shirt
Again, this is something that will round out your senior year and you want it as part of your senior story. Most seniors don't know where they are going in the fall, so its harder to include that in their session. And lets be honest, sometimes people change their mind. You get accepted into multiple schools and making that decision can be hard.
Sports Photos
Maybe you play sports in school, or maybe outside of school and its a part of your life you want to capture. If it doesn't vibe with the location you choose for your senior experience session then a boomerang is right for you. The benefit of choosing this as an add on instead of just part of you session is that we can completely tailor the look of these photos. We could choose a location specific to your sport, like a football field or gym. And maybe you want the lighting to be more dramatic and intense. This gives me time to focus everything on this one look. And we can dedicate the full session to create a specific look for these images instead of spending 25% of your experience session trying to get these images.
Your car
Car people are car people, you know what I mean. For some seniors its a part of their identity, they love it like a child. And we should absolutely document that! So one day when your kids think there is no way you could have ever been cool, you have photograph evidence that you were.
Prom Photos
Prom is such an important senior milestone. Not only is it a blast, but you have scoured the metroplex for the perfect dress, and a cell phone photo just won't do. This is the perfect addition to your senior album.
Homecoming Photos
Everyone knows that Texans do homecoming big. The bigger the mum the better and I just feel like its something that should be documented beyond instagram. Your dress is adorable and that mum is something special.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. A boomerang session does not have to fit in one of these categories at all, these are just some ideas to get your wheels turning. Maybe you love wildflowers and want a spring boomerang, or maybe you got a new hair cut and color you want to add to your story. Boomerangs are completely up to you, you can add 1 to your session or you can add several, its however many you feel like complete your high school story.
The details
Ok, so you get the gist, short sessions throughout your senior year added on to your experience session. So here is all the information that parents want to know.
Boomerang sessions are 30 minutes and include 1 outfit. The cost for these is a $79 session fee and a separate order session is held just like with your senior experience session. The purpose of these sessions is to add images to your album and wall art collections, NOT to purchase an entirely new collection. Boomerang sessions can be booked any time after you have scheduled your senior experience session. Because we are adding images to your album, I will need to know if you are interested in a boomerang session so I can hold your album. Boomerang session are only available as an add on for existing clients, and are not available as a stand alone session.
So thats it! I hope you got your wheels spinning about all the great milestones you can capture your senior year.
