Ready to lock in your senior portrait date? Let's do this! Once you have locked in your date with a paid retainer and signed contract, you will receive your very own virtual Senior Style Guide as well as your senior questionnaire! This is where you will find everything you need to know about what to wear, how to prep and what to expect. Your questionnaire will teach me everything I need to know about you and your vision for your senior session, so that I can customize it just for you!
Booking and planning
02
it's shoot day!
The fun begins! After working together to choose the perfect locations and plan out the details of your session, we will meet on-location to begin your senior portrait experience. I will help you finalize your outfit choices and style your wardrobe to be picture-perfect before we start shooting. Then, we will spend 1.5-2 hours photographing at 2-3 select locations in 3-4 outfit changes. I will pose you and guide you throughout the entire session - no modeling experience necessary! Your only job is to have fun and enjoy the day!
03
social media sneak peek
Within 24 hours of your senior session, I will share a social media sneak peek for you to see and share! Then, it will be about two weeks until you receive your full senior portrait gallery online. I pride myself on these quick turnaround times - I'll never make you wait months to see your photos!
04
gallery delivery
After two weeks, your full online gallery will be delivered! Here, you will be able to download, share and print all of your fully edited, high resolution digital files. You will also have access to your very own mobile app where you can download your images directly to your phone. And, even better? Your gallery will be backed up online - so you don't ever have to worry about losing images! The hardest part will be choosing your weekly #seniorsunday post.
I'M RACHEL!
Now that we've gotten to know each other, let's dive into the good stuff!
My love for photography began with my own senior portrait session. It was the first time I’d ever had professional photos taken, and it completely transformed how I saw myself. That experience sparked my passion for photography, which grew in college as I explored it as a creative outlet while also indulging my love for scrapbooking (#millennial vibes). Capturing memories and telling stories through images has been at the heart of my journey ever since.
Today, as the owner of Rachel Davis Thompson Photography, I’ve designed a senior portrait experience that’s stress-free, fun, and all about you. I know how busy senior year can be, so I keep it simple with one all-inclusive package—no hidden fees, no complicated options, just a seamless process that lets you focus on feeling confident and celebrated. Your senior portraits should reflect this exciting time in your life, and I’d be honored to help you create memories you’ll cherish forever.

We will meet on-location on the day of your session to assist with styling outfits, prepping for the shoot and finalizing your wardrobe! You can bring as many pieces from your closet as you'd like, and I will assist you in effortlessly styling each piece to photography beautifully. You are also welcome to send me images of your outfits leading up to the shooting day - I'm happy to help as much as I can!
Hair and makeup is not included in the senior photography packages, but it is highly recommended. Upon booking, you will receive an informational email with everything you need to know about your senior experience, including hair and makeup artist recommendations to meet all style and budget needs.
Upon booking, you will also receive an in-depth senior questionnaire that will help me learn more about you and your vision for your senior portrait session. From there, I will work to find custom senior locations for your session in Corpus Christi and the surrounding area. We will lock in 2-3 locations and meet on-location at the first destination to begin your senior experience!
Of course! Your senior session with Rachel Davis Thompson includes photos with whoever is important to you! This can be your boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend, parent, sibling or even a pet! They are more than welcome to join us for the last 30 minutes of your senior session.
Your Rachel Davis Thompson senior experience will include up to 2 hours of shooting. If you choose to have professional hair and makeup, you can expect to add an additional hour onto the experience, but you will coordinate those times directly with the makeup artist.
