senior portrait collections

Sentimental. modern. THOUGHTFUL.

Hello high school senior! What a milestone time this is for you! I remember my high school days vividly and have recently experienced being a senior parent. I utilize my time with each senior to share love and praise. I begin each session by ensuring your comfort and explaining each step. My clients walk away feeling amazing with gorgeous images to share!

My seniors and their parents appreciate my gentle approach to photography. As a lifestyle and natural light photographer, my sessions are easy and a special memories of your senior year, even for the senior guys! I create both lightly posed and sweet in-between moments.  There's no big equipment or production, just me and a camera...okay and maybe a step stool since I'm only 4"11"!   ;)

After your session, I'll craft our experience into a stunning gallery of portraits. You'll receive images in both my signature warm color and black & white versions! You may print on your own or select premium heirloom prints, wall art, cards, albums, and more conveniently from your online gallery and easily shipped to your door.
