Built for the Class of 2027
Premium senior portrait sessions deserve a premium platform. Online booking, multi-outfit packages, mobile family galleries, and album builders — all under one roof.
Why senior portraits are different
A higher-AOV adjacency to volume photography
High AOV per family
Senior portrait orders typically run $300–$1,500 per family. Lower volume per session, but each booking carries weight — and parents expect a premium experience to match.
Multiple outfits and locations
Studio looks, outdoor sets, and prop changes are the norm. Sessions span hours, not minutes, and the gallery needs to keep every look organized for the family to browse.
Premium retouching expectations
Seniors and parents expect skin, hair, and complexion work on every chosen image. Per-photo retouching is a high-margin upsell that families happily pay for.
PPS for senior photographers
Tools built for premium sessions and the families who book them
Appointments module integration
Seniors and parents book their session online with the Appointments module. Calendar sync, deposits, intake forms, and reminders are all included.
Mobile parent gallery
Parents do most of their selection work on a phone in the kitchen at night. Galleries are designed mobile-first with favoriting and sharing built in.
AI Retouching upsell
Standard AI retouching as a per-photo customer add-on. Roughly 90% margin and zero touch on your end — families opt in at checkout.
Multi-outfit packages
Build packages around outfit changes and locations rather than just print quantities. Group looks together so families can compare side by side.
Album & memory book builder
Auto-generated signature albums and senior memory books from the family’s favorites. Parents preview the layout before they order.
Family selection workflow
Parents favorite the images they want to consider, narrow down to album picks, and approve the final list — all from the same gallery, no email back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the Appointments module to run senior portraits on PPS?
You can run senior sessions without it, but most studios add Appointments because online booking, deposits, and intake forms eliminate hours of phone tag every week. It’s $35/month and tends to pay for itself in the first booking.
How does AI Retouching work as a customer upsell?
AI Retouching is a per-photo add-on that families choose at checkout. They pay a default of $5 per image (you control the price), the image is retouched in the background, and you keep roughly 90% margin. No Photoshop skills required on your end. The module is launching soon.
Can families pick their favorites before they order?
Yes. The mobile parent gallery includes a favoriting workflow so families can short-list images, narrow down to album picks, and approve the final list together — all from one shared gallery instead of email threads.
Do you handle albums and memory books for seniors?
PPS auto-generates signature albums and senior memory books from the family’s favorited images. Parents preview the layout in the gallery before checking out, and the file is sent to your fulfillment workflow.
