Early Commits Link:
This link is live until April 1st, when the general application link will go live. This is year 2 of early commits link and it has proven to be so useful for families that need to have the first choice of summer and fall dates due to their athletes busy schedules and pure lack of time.
This link is also only for guests who know they are going to book. If you are new to me and still have questions on collections, investments and offering please do email me at purperatyelphoto@gmail.com and I will be happy to email you or set up a time to chat so you are able to take advantage of early booking as well.
Some fun new offerings this year at Purpera Style are:
Same week image and ordering review. All sessions shot Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be available to view on Saturday of the same week or Sunday evening (appointments will be scheduled for early viewing on the day your senior session is scheduled.)
Ordering Sessions: This scares most guests, however you will be armed with all the information before your senior session so the planning, budgeting and stress of an ordering session will be removed. We will build your dream session and then provide you will the most beautiful ways to display them for keepsakes. If you are a guest that does not live in state, we will provide a order appointment via video call. Your products will be ordered the next day and have a 7-10 day creation and delivery time.
The Shattuck Group Session - This was created out of the past season for my prep-school and Jr, AAA players have so little time and some fly in for their sessions and have a 72 hour window for photos. This is a group session that fit my guys like a glove and happened multiple times this past 2025 senior season. It is for groups, teams and multi senior pairs. Friends and teammates who have limited schedules to book separately.
Some offerings that are remaining the same are:
My HMUA remains Shelly Hogan, she is the owner of The Blackstones in Stillwater MN. You may finder on Instagram @creationsbyshelly. Some benefits to working exclusively with a HMUA is timing. Shelly books a year in advance with weddings and she works for my guests tirelessly on her day off, fits them in between her own guests and is available to travel and be with us on the day of. My guests LOVE Shelly. All of my guests, ones who do not wear any or a lot of makeup, athletes and my guests who wear hair and makeup regularly. Shelly plays up your beauty but you still feel like yourself.
Grit & Grace sessions. These sessions are for all who are looking for a summer\fall split session or a senior session\sports\passion session combination. For early commits you will have your choice of dates and months for your split session.
Fall Senior Mini Sessions. The link for these go live the last week in August and fill up quickly. Some things to think about if you feel this is for you. These are held in Stillwater MN only. They are offered on Tuesday and Thursday weekdays only (unless we have to make a exception due to weather) There is one location out of 3 offered. The session is 35 min. long and we are able to work out a couple looks for this session.
This is going to be an amazing season, I am excited to get busy with a new crew and watch how 2025-2026 unfolds.
