What's Included in a KBP Senior Portrait Session?
One of the most common questions I get from seniors and their parents is: "What exactly do we get?" It's a great question — and at KBP, the answer is a lot more than most people expect.
Here's a complete breakdown of everything included in a KBP senior portrait session.
It Starts Before Your Session: The Planning Consult
Before we ever pick up a camera, we sit down together for an in-person planning consultat the KBP studio in Ashland, Virginia. This is where we map out your entire session — locations, outfits, timeline, and any special details that make your portraits uniquely yours.
This is always a step included in portrait session planning, but at KBP, it's one of the things our clients say makes the biggest difference.
The 128-Page What to Wear & Color Guide
Every KBP senior receives our 128-page What to Wear and Color Guide — in both digital and print format. It covers everything from color combinations to outfit styling to what to avoid on camera.
You'll feel confident and prepared before your session even starts.
Professional Hair and Makeup — Included
Yes, really. Professional hair and makeup is included with every KBP senior session — no add-on fee, no surprise charges. Our artists know exactly what photographs well, and they'll make sure you look polished, natural, and completely like yourself.
This is one of KBP's most talked-about perks, and it's something very few studios in the Hanover County and Richmond area offer as a standard inclusion.
Style Partner Discounts
KBP partners with three local boutiques where KBP seniors shop at 15% off for their session outfits. Details are shared at your planning consult.
Your Senior Portrait Session
On session day, you'll have multiple outfit changes and location options — all planned out in advance so the day flows smoothly. Kristie works with every senior to bring out their natural personality, get them comfortable in front of the camera, and create images that actually look like them.
Sessions are relaxed, fun. Most seniors tell us they were nervous beforehand and had the time of their life.
Yearbook Sitting and School Submission
Every KBP session includes a complimentary yearbook sitting and direct submission to your school. We handle the submission process so you don't have to.
The Design Appointment
After your session, you'll come back for a one-on-one design and order appointment with Kristie. This is where you'll view your images for the first time, choose your favorites, and decide how to display them — wall art, albums, digital files, and more.
This appointment is designed to make the process easy and enjoyable. No pressure, no rush — just you, your images, and a plan to display them beautifully!
What Does a KBP Senior Session Cost?
Sessions begin at $975. Most KBP clients invest $2,500+ in their full experience — from wall portraits to digital files. Every investment is discussed openly at your consult and design appointment, and we have options at a range of levels.
