THE SENIOR EXPERIENCE

____________________________

The transition from high school to young adulthood only happens once.

It flies by so quickly and you don’t want to miss it!

High school can be overwhelming and your family is no doubt busy with extra curricular activities. It’s hard to know where to start with getting those senior pictures done.

Document these fleeting moments with timeless photos that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

You will enjoy your senior’s beautiful portraits on your walls in no time.

With a custom senior portrait experience, your son or daughter will feel confident and valued. I help them with what to wear, how to pose, and even make changing easy with a pop up tent and some cool towels for those hot summer days.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

Senior pictures are too important to leave to just anyone with a camera. Let's work together to create a portrait session to remember.  

As a ballpark estimate, most clients spend between $1800 and $4000+ on custom art products and digital images.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
