FEATURED SESSION

Senior Sessions

Senior year is a threshold. Still home. Almost gone.

These sessions are designed to capture who they are right now, not just what they look like in a cap and gown.

We focus on personality. On movement. On the natural rhythm of who they are when they are not trying to pose perfectly.

Each session is relaxed and guided. I offer direction when needed, but space for real expression. We move through locations with intention, letting moments unfold instead of forcing them. Laughter, quiet confidence, bold energy, softness. It all belongs.

Outfits are chosen to reflect their style. Locations are selected to match their story. The result feels effortless, natural, and distinctly theirs.

Because this is the last year before everything shifts.

Senior sessions are limited each season and often book months in advance.

These moments won’t last.

Document it while you can.

The quiet baby snuggles turn into rushed school mornings.
The kindergarten classroom turns into a college move-in day.
The dog who once outran the kids starts slowing down.

Most of the time, we do not realize we are in the middle of a chapter that will feel sacred later. We look at portraits all wrong. Photos are not about perfection in pretty frames. They are about remembering who you were in this season before it quietly changed. Because this version of your family won’t exist next year.

Photography Session Options

  • Signature Sessions

    Most popular session type.

    Some seasons deserve more than a quick snapshot.

    Signature Sessions are designed for families and seniors who want space to slow down and document this chapter with intention. Not rushed. Not overly styled. Just thoughtful, relaxed time together.

    These sessions focus on connection. The way your child leans into you without thinking. The way your senior stands on the edge of everything about to change. The way your family looks right now, in the middle of the ordinary days that will one day feel extraordinary.

    We move at an easy pace. There is room for personality, movement, and real interaction. Enough time to settle in. Enough time to capture what matters.

    Up to 45 minutes
    Outfit flexibility
    One thoughtfully chosen location
    Curated gallery of hand-edited images
    $500 investment

    Signature Sessions are perfect for families growing quickly and milestones that feel too important to rush.

    Because this season will not last forever.

  • Mini Sessions

    Short. Meaningful. Limited.

    Mini Sessions are offered on select dates throughout the year and are designed for families and seniors who want to document this season in a simple, focused way.

    These are not rushed assembly-line photos. They are thoughtfully structured 15-minute portrait windows created around beautiful light, meaningful connection, and the time of year we are in.

    Perfect for:

    Updating family portraits
    Capturing senior milestones
    Generational photos
    Seasonal keepsakes

    15 minutes
    10 hand-edited digital images
    Online gallery delivery

    Investment begins at $300 during off-season dates and ranges from $325–$350 during peak seasonal sessions.

    Each date is limited to six sessions. Once filled, they are closed.

    Because even the smaller chapters deserve to be remembered.

  • Custom Portrait Sessions

    Not every season fits into 15 minutes.
    Some chapters deserve more space.

    Custom Portrait Sessions are designed for families, seniors, and milestone moments that need intention and time. These sessions are planned with care and built around your story, your people, and the season you are in right now.

    We begin with a planning conversation. Location is chosen with purpose. Outfits are guided thoughtfully. The pace is relaxed. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced.

    This is where we capture the in-between moments. The way your teenager laughs when they forget the camera is there. The way your parents hold hands without realizing it. The way your family moves together when no one is posing.

    Custom sessions are limited each season to ensure every experience receives full creative attention.

    If this chapter feels significant, let’s document it properly.
