Senior Portraits: Fun and Personalized Sessions for Real, Awkward Humans

Candid laughing moment from a senior girl session in Rocky Mount VA

Capture the Confidence and Quirkiness That Makes Them Awesome

My job is to make the session easy, fun and completely stress-free—so you get kick-ass, meaningful photos that actually feel like them.

My Specialty: The Teenager Who Hates Posing

I specialize in awkward humans. If your senior is camera-shy, unsure what to do with their hands or just flat-out not excited? Perfect! I don't use stiff poses. I use action and direction (and maybe a few bad jokes) to get genuine laughs and real confidence. You'll end up with honest portraits that look incredible because they feel authentic.

Here It Is, The Moment You Have Been Scrolling For:

💥 How Much Is It Gonna Cost Me? 💥

Senior Year is a Money Pit. A Seemingly Endless Money Pit.

But also one that's so worth it because it only happens once in your child's life!

So let's keep the investment simple and honest. I'm a photographer, not a salesman—so you get clear, transparent pricing up front. No pressure. No upsells.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Choose the session that fits your senior’s needs—from quick & simple to full-on creative experiences.

✅ Every package includes unlimited outfit changes so they can showcase their true personality.

✅ Prints, albums and wall art are available so you don’t just end up with digital files lost in your phone.

The Anti-Anxiety Plan: A Simple Path to Epic Photos

Booking senior photos should not be overwhelming! I've made the process so simple and fun, you'll wonder why you stressed in the first place. Here's how we skip the awkwardness, step-by-step:

1️⃣ Step 1: Determine Your Level of Awesomeness

Not every senior needs the full model-for-a-day treatment! Choose the session that matches your time and your desired budget.

2️⃣ Step 2: Choose Your Backdrop (I'll Guide You)

Don't stress about location hunting! I'll guide you to the perfect spot—dramatic mountain views, artsy downtown or a green-field vibe. It'll be meaningful and not boring.

3️⃣ Step 3: Plan the Looks (Be Yourself and Most Importantly, Be Comfortable!)

No limits on outfit changes! Bring the casual, the dressy and yes, even that favorite hoodie they refuse to part with. I'll send tips to ensure they feel confident—not coordinated.

4️⃣ Step 4: Just Show Up and Be You. Forget the Posing!

I’ll guide them with simple prompts and fun tasks. I aim for real moments—not models. Even the reluctant ones end up having a blast.

5️⃣ Step 5: Pick the Keepers & Print!

I'll help you select your favorite images for durable prints, albums and wall art. You'll actually get to enjoy these photos every day—not just on a hard drive.
