How Long Do Individual Photo Sessions Last?

Session length can vary depending on the type of event or sitting. Below are general time estimates to help you plan.

Session Timeframes

• School & Youth Sports Events

  Most students and athletes are in front of the camera for approximately 1–3 minutes.

  • All-Star teams or some Varsity teams may take 3–7 minutes and may include multiple photography stations.

• High School Senior Portraits

  Sessions usually last 20–30 minutes.

  This allows time for outfit changes and movement through multiple photography stations.

  College Cap & Gown Sessions

  These sessions generally take 10–20 minutes, depending on:

  • The type of sitting selected
  • Whether an outfit change is included
  • If retakes are needed during the session

*Please note that these timeframes are estimates and may vary based on event flow and individual needs.
