One of the most common questions I get from parents and seniors in Grayslake, Illinois and throughout Lake County is:
“How much do senior photos cost?”
And honestly—that’s a great question.
Choosing a senior photographer is about more than just pricing. It’s about the experience, the memories being captured, and having images that truly reflect this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.
Here’s a closer look at what you can expect when booking a senior session with Stacy Rae Photography.
What You’re Really Investing In
Senior photos aren’t just another item to check off your list—they’re a way to capture who your senior is during such an important season of life.
From planning your session to delivering your final gallery, my goal is to create an experience that feels:
- relaxed
- fun
- personalized
Whether you're in Grayslake, Round Lake, or surrounding Lake County communities, I work with each senior to create a session that feels true to them.
What’s Included in a Senior Session
When you book a senior session, you’re getting more than just time in front of the camera.
Every session includes:
- Guidance on outfits and styling
- Help choosing the perfect location in Grayslake or nearby Lake County areas
- A fully guided session (no awkward posing!)
- A curated gallery of professionally edited images
I’m here to make the entire process simple and enjoyable from start to finish.
Session Options
I offer a few different options depending on what you're looking for:

Shorter sessions designed for graduation announcements, party invitations, and celebrating this milestone.

When to Book
Spring is one of the most popular times for senior photos, especially for the Class of 2026.
With graduation getting closer, my April and May calendars are filling quickly, and I only take on a limited number of sessions to give each client the best experience possible.

I believe booking senior photos shouldn’t feel overwhelming or confusing.
