1| Airbrush makeup is the lightest & smoothest foundation in the makeup industry. It’s so thin that it looks completely natural without having a waxy build up like regular makeup can. You want to make sure your face isn’t packed with regular foundation and take away from your natural beauty.
2| This flawless makeup gives you a matte poreless finish so you never look shiny.
3| There is a HUGE difference in “every day makeup” and “camera ready makeup.” The products we use are specifically made for the camera.
4| Education is key! Using a professional who has been taught by industry experts in camera ready makeup will ensure that the right products are used for your skin.
5| The last thing you need to worry about is your makeup wearing off during your senior portraits! Airbrush makeup will last until you wash your face.
6| Because of its flawfless finish, it is the only techniche used with high definition cameras. Airbrush makeup provides a camera-ready texture.
7|Airbrush makeup is the best and most natural way to cover scars, blemishes, redness, rosacea, acne, and uneven texture.
8|Rachel can use WATERPROOF makeup so that your face will be flawfless frombeginning to end. Sweat, humidity, water, and heat will have nothing on your super fab face!
9| Take the stress out of getting ready and let a professionally trained makeup artist do what she does best.
10|Airbrush makeup is what the bridal, model, and senior industry use. Youdeserve the very best for your face when it comes to your senior portraits. Don’t settle for anything less!

your storyTell us who you are? Bring along
your uniform, ball, fishing pole, sports equipment, guitar, skateboard, golf clubs, etc. to tell your story. Choose an outfit to best represent who you are and what you’re into most.
dress upAAre you ready to be photographed like your on the cover of GQ magazine? This may be suspenders and a bowtie, chinos and a button up for a relaxed look, a suit with tie (or no tie) or with just a vest. There are so many options and I can’t wait to see what you come up with! A cute cardigan and and t-shirt with jeans may be your kind of dressy and that’s great too!

STREET STYLE
Showing variety and your different pepersonal styles are so important when
taking senior portraits! I love to see guys run with this category! Trendy to you may be a bright and fun print, summer linen button up, a polo, or a plaid shirt left open to show your favorite t-shirt. It could be your favorite shorts or skinny, straight, or ripped jeans. It could also be straight, or ripped jeans. It could also be your favorite pair of joggers styled with
your sneakers!
trendy
Besides track pants or gym shorts, what are you most comfortable in? Think
about what you’d wear on a first date to the movies or going out with your
buddies. This may be shorts and a cute vintage tee or jeans and a henley.
everyday casual
Guys & Girls: If you wear glasses, mostopticians are happy to remove the lenses from your glasses and replace them after your photography session. Thiseliminates any possibility eliminates any possibility of glare or reflection in your lenses and allows your eyes to really shine through.
And more important than anything, BE YOURSELF!!
Blemishes are very easy to touchup and you don’t need to be concerned about them. However, if you’re concerned, airbrush makeup is for guys too. Think about all the men on TV who put
makeup on everyday!
I PROMISE NO ONE WILL BE ABLE I PROMISE NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO TELL! Your appointment will be done in
a private room. If you’re at all interested, talk to me about it during
your pre-consultation.
If you plan to get a haircut before your senior portrait session, I recommend doing it several days in advance.
Hands and nails should be clean and groomed.
Facial hair must be neatly groomed. Touching up a scaggly beard or mustache is difficult, even for mustache is difficult, even for experts.

Riley Craig

Chloe Adams
I was very relaxed with Julie and I think that is why my pictures turned out so well. I got to know her during the planning meeting so it wasn’t awkwaplanning meeting so it wasn’t awkward at all. I gave Julie a couple different ideas and she took them and ran with them. I couldn’t be more happy with my pictures!!!

DEARParents,
Congratulations on being a senior parent! This will be one of the most exciting years of your child’s life and I am so honored that you are considering Julie Scheuler Photography to help you document this amazing time! I hope you have found the information in this magazine to be helpful and educational as to the process of the Julie Scheuler Photography senior portrait experience!
II use the word “experience” because I offer so much more than just your average photo shoot. When you book your senior session with Julie Scheuler, you can expect custom senior pictures that are authentic, fun and absolutely beautiful. Your child is one-of-a-kind and the pictures should reflect that. I love working closely with my seniors, giving direction through the posing process, ensuring that every shot is natural, yet perfectly composed.
I began my photography career in 2002 when I started working with I began my photography career in 2002 when I started working with young children. In 2011, I started photographing families and seniors and that is when I quickly realized how much I love to work with this age group. It is now my #1 focus.
TToo many young adults suffer from lack of confidence today and it’s amazing what gorgeous images can do for a child’s self esteem. To show them how beautiful and perfect they are and to build their confidence before entering the “real world” is the reason behind why I do what I do.
I know you can choose anyone to be your child’s senior photographer, my hope is that you will choose me!
Sincerely,
Julie ScheulerJulie ScheulerJulie Scheuler
