What Are Senior Portraits?

Senior portraits are a celebration of you and your accomplishments. Senior year means you’ve completed 13 year of classes and challenges; you’ve likely worked your tail off on a sports team or theater group, choir, or band. You’ve navigated growing up, friendships, and so much more.

The goal of your senior session is to capture the excitement of the future and bittersweet moments of closing this major chapter of your life. It's freezing that time between childhood and adulthood, where you’re on the edge of new beginnings.

Why Senior Portraits Matter:

  1. Celebrate Your Uniqueness: Senior portraits are the ultimate celebration of you. It's not about conformity; it's about showcasing your own unique vibe and what defines you. Whether you're a bookworm, an athlete, an artist, or a bit of everything, your senior portraits are here to celebrate it.

  2. Freeze Frame: Senior year is a life-changing journey. It's the year you discover who you are and who you want to become. Senior portraits freeze this time, capturing the best version of teenage you before you’re all grown up.

3. Art Featuring YOU: Senior portraits are a canvas for your story, an art form that sum up all of your high school experiences. Each photo is meant to tell tales of challenges, victories, friendships, and growth.

4. Think of Your Family and Friends: Senior portraits aren't just for you; they're a gift to your family and friends. They allow loved ones to witness your growth and accomplishments!

5. Empower Yo’self: Senior portraits empower you to express yourself. From choosing your outfits to deciding on the backdrop and location, each decision is an act of self-expression. It's about saying, "This is me, and I'm proud of it."

6. An Experience to Remember: Professional senior portraits become more than pictures. They are a full-on experience, where you get to celebrate yourself and what you have accomplished. I want your senior portraits to be as cherished of a memory as homecoming and prom.

7. A Gift to Your Future Self: I speak from experience when I say that years from now, the photos you take during your years in high school will be a cherished gift to your future self. It's a reminder of where you began, the dreams you had, and the determination that led you to where you are. Cue all the nostalgia!
