Client Feedback and Advice
- What prompted you to have this photo session? High school Senior photos.
- What do you plan to do with your digital photos? Create my high school grad announcements and probably some social media posts
- How did you choose your location for your session? I really like vintage and antique stores. When I was looking for a location I searched for unique photography locations. I also knew I wanted to wear my grandmother’s 70s wedding dress, so Sekrit theater felt like it had the perfect vibe to go along with it.Â
- What advice would you give to other High School Seniors planning a similar photo session?
It was pretty hot so I’d recommend waiting later into the fall if they want outdoor pics.5. Anything else you’d like to add about working with Stephanie Friedman Photography?ÂVery efficient, creative ideas for the pics, she’s good at giving you instructions for how to pose.Â

Stephanie Friedman first picked up a camera in high school, went on to study photojournalism at the University of Texas (Hook ‘Em), then worked as a photo researcher in educational publishing for over 20 years.
Besides all that, she’s been photographing Families and Seniors for the last 10 years. You can count on her to be communicative and organized before your session. She’ll help you feel relaxed and confident during your session. And you’ll have a smile on your face after your session once you see your new photos.
