Senior & Grad Portraits

Senior and graduation portraits that feel like you, not a yearbook template.

For high school seniors, college grads and anyone marking a big finish.

We shoot in my studio or outdoors at a spot we pick together. I’ll guide every pose, so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.

Who I photograph

  • High school seniors who want photos that show who they are right now
  • College and grad school graduates, in cap and gown or without
  • Seniors who want to bring something that matters to them: an instrument, a sport, a car, a pet
  • Families who want a few shots together on the same day

How it works

1

Tell me about you

Your graduation date, the look you like and anything you want in the photos. That shapes where we shoot and what you bring.

2

We plan it together

We plan the spot and your looks on a shared Pinterest or Freeform board, then shoot in my studio or outdoors, ideally in the soft light before sunset.

3

Your photos

Your edited gallery arrives within 4 days, often sooner. Prints and albums come with select packages.

What to wear

Send me photos of your outfit ideas a few days before, and I’ll help you pick the ones that photograph best for your spots.

  • Bring two or three outfits: one dressy, one casual, and your cap and gown if you have them.
  • Solid colors and soft patterns photograph better than big logos or busy prints.
  • Pick colors that suit the setting: warm tones for fall leaves, light colors for summer greens.
  • Comfortable shoes for walking between spots, and the ones you want in the photos.
  • Bring the extras that make it yours: a stole, cords, an instrument, a jersey.
