SENIOR

You Did the Work. Now, Let’s Celebrate!

Senior year isn’t just a milestone, it’s the closing of one chapter and the beginning of something entirely new.

You’ve spent years learning, growing, making friendships, chasing goals and becoming the person standing here today. That deserves more than a few photographs in a cap and gown. Your senior portraits should be nothing short of a celebration after years of hard work and a job well done.

Your senior session is designed entirely around you.

Your favorite places. Your style. The sport you’ve played since you were little. The instrument you never put down. The books you love, the car you saved for, the college you’re headed to, or simply the aesthetic that feels most like you. These portraits should make you feel confident, strong, and beautiful which is why many graduates choose me to capture them.

There is no formula your session needs to follow. We’ll create a session that celebrates everything you’ve accomplished while freezing who you are right now, before you’re on to the next chapter of your life. <3

FAQs

+ How long is a senior session?

Senior sessions vary from 15 minutes to 2 hour sessions. Every session is tailored to the graduate's tastes, hobbies, and personalities.

+ What should I wear?

My best advice is to dress to impress while also wearing what you feel most confident in! Choose clothes that make you feel like your best self because that will translate on camera! Depending on which package you choose, you'll have up to 3 outfit changes. Keep in mind hobbies and extracurricular activities that you would want to commemorate, too! (Example: If you cheer, match your poms to a 'fit, or if you play an instrument, bring it along for a few artsy images of you playing!) And, lastly, consider that part of your session can be used as professional headshots.

+ When should I expect my gallery?

Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks with a sneak peek on social media a few days after your session :)

+ How many images do I get?

Senior packages generally recieve 75+ edited images, Cap 'n Gown mini sessions recieve up to 20 edited images
