On the contrary, starting Vim with -S will source your vimrc first; but
then it will proceed with your session file, which may override anything
your vimrc has set.

You may use sessions without running :mksession -- a session file is
just a Vim script sourced after your vimrc, usually to set up your
windows and tabs and such. You can create one by hand, e.g. as

cd ~
e file1.txt
new file2.txt
new /path/to/file3.txt
lcd %:h
tabnew /someotherpathto/file4.txt
tabnew file5.txt
tab help
tabnext " wrap around to first tab
wincmd w " wrap around to first window

You can even name it ~/Session.vim, then "vim -S" or "gvim -S" will run
it; and they will use all the settings of your vimrc too.

Best regards,
Tony.
