Senior Sessions

Your senior year is a special one and one filled with bittersweet emotions. It becomes a year of further defining who you are and who you will become. It's holding on to friendships that you've had for 13 years and looking forward to new relationships in the future. It's being thankful to your parents for all they've done and the sacrifices they've made for you.

 

It's a year of lasts.

 

It's a year of tears.

 

It's a year of joy. 

You will test the boundaries while clinging to the safety of home. 

You'll realize you don't know everything. 

Some days you'll be counting down the days until graduation. Other days you'll long for the simplicity of year's past. 

As a mom of a senior, you look at this young adult and still see her first ballet lesson, the first time he picked up a baseball bat, and remember all of the phases of her life as if it were yesterday. You've always heard the caution of "don't blink" but you did. You have experienced "the days are long but the years are short..."

 

You hope and pray that all that you've done is enough, yet you look at your child with all of the pride and love in the world, knowing that at the end of this school year, your life will change. It's now time to celebrate this milestone in his life and yours!

 

Senior pictures aren't just about a picture to put in the yearbook; senior pictures capture your child in the phase of life right before they enter the real world; a moment just like all of the others, that you won't ever get back.

Session sessions can be anywhere from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. You'll receive an online gallery of 75+ images to choose your favorites. 

FAQ:

When should I schedule my senior session?

• The most convenient time is the summer before or the fall of your senior year.

Can I include my sports, hobbies, or my pet?

• YES! I will help you plan a session that is uniquely YOU!

Can we split the session between two locations?

• Yes, one of the senior session options allows for 2 locations.

What if I don't know how to pose?

• If you know how to stand and sit, you know how to pose! I allow all of my clients to fall naturally into poses and then tweak when needed. I don't want you to feel awkward or make you do something that is not you. 

How is your senior experience different?

•  Your senior year only happens once, and your photos should reflect more than just what you look like—they should capture who you are.

Every senior session is completely customized to you. Before your session, we'll talk through your style, interests, hobbies, favorite locations, and the vision you have for your photos. Whether you're an athlete, musician, artist, outdoors enthusiast, or simply want a modern, fashion-inspired session, we'll create an experience that feels authentic to you.

Don't worry if you've never been in front of a professional camera. You don't need to know how to pose or what to do—I guide you through every step of the session so you'll feel comfortable, confident, and have fun along the way.

My goal isn't just to deliver beautiful images. I want you to leave your session feeling seen, celebrated, and confident. Years from now, I want you to look back at these photographs and remember exactly who you were during one of the most exciting seasons of your life.

I'm interested in scheduling!
