One real session

How it went for Mackenzie.

Every session runs the same way. Hers was a Whole Thing, shot across two days about two weeks apart: the sportrait half at Waverly, then the senior half at Ives Run.

The shoot starts before shoot day.

The prep lives in a link you open on your phone. By the time we meet, the decisions are already made.

  • You walk in ready. No guessing what to wear or bring.
  • You chose your shots. Camera minutes go to shooting, not deciding.
  • Parents chase nothing. The release and the retainer live in the link.

I was blown away when I saw my photos. You can clearly see AC took his time on every photo and took pride into every aspect of editing.

Regan T., Bing Kickline · Dance Media Day

A.C Media is one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. He takes time to make sure everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, as well as gives pose suggestions. It is clear he does his research before his sessions. Hands down some of the best media day pics I have seen.

I felt comfortable and confident that the shoot was going to turn out great. He puts in quality work and effort and will deliver the best quality he possibly can.
