What will you walk away from Senior year with? What is the final product of all the papers, tests, dances, experiences, memories…? …. YOU are!
Senior year is so special because it’s the final year of your youth - you’ve accomplished so much and changed so much over the last twelve years to become YOU…what will you have to show for it that really truly represents WHO you are?
When you meet new people, what do you want them to know about you? That you got straight A’s? That you had perfect attendance? That you won six medals in track? Those are all great accomplishments and they're important...but they don’t tell people what you’re actually like as a person! That's why your senior photos should be treated as a special occasion - a celebration of you and your unique, beautiful personality and style! Your photos should stand out - just like you do - not be a cookie cutter copy of everyone else's. Keep scrolling to see why I am YOUR best choice when it comes to your senior photos!
One of the biggest questions I get from my clients is...how will I know what to do and how to pose?? And I always say - leave that part up to me! Your shoot will be totally laid back, not rushed and fun! I meet with all of my clients over zoom or in person so I get a feel for your personality before we even start shooting so I'll know best how to make you comfortable at your session! Laughing, dancing, and goofing off are highly encouraged!
For your official senior photos, it's important that they stand the test of time. Nothing will age your photos more than trendy filters and "artistic" edits. Those are great and fun for your everyday instas, but classic is the way to go for your senior portraits! I keep your photos as true to life as possible so you'll still love them twenty years from now! And with 15 years of experience, I am skilled at removing stray hairs, skin blemishes, clothing wrinkles, etc - all without ever leaving any trace that they were ever there and without making your skin look like plastic!
The first thing my clients tell me after their shoot is over is how much fun they had! So many seniors go into their photo session nervous and worried (totally natural!) but after a few minutes, they're warmed up and having a blast! I'll never make you feel awkward, uncomfortable or bored! We'll have fun exploring the fun locations we picked out, playing dress up and listening to music while we shoot too! Bring your mom or your bestie - the one person that makes you feel amazing and it'll be an experience you'll cherish forever!
When it comes to choosing a photographer, it's important to know how knowledgeable and skilled your photographer is! Experience makes a HUGE difference in the quality of your photos and when it comes to photos as important as your senior session, you definitely want to hire someone who knows what they're doing!
Do they know how to pose you? How to use photoshop effectively? Know how to help you relax and how to capture those natural smiles and expressions? How to use lighting and where to place you in locations so you look your best and your photos aren't boring?
Would you go to a pizza place for tacos? No! That's why it's best to go to a photographer like me that specializes JUST in seniors - not newborns, weddings, kids, etc. and that's hard to find! I focus my entire business on teens and making you feel comfortable, gorgeous and confident!
I can proudly say that with over fifteen years of experience photographing seniors, years of formal training and workshops as well as college photography courses, I can assure you you're getting the best in the business when you book me for your senior session! :)
Your senior photos aren't just any other photo shoot! Not only do you want to look your best for the camera, but one of the most fun parts of the experience is getting glammed up! Our hair stylists and makeup artists are amazing and will give you an AMAZING boost of confidence and you'll walk into your shoot feeling like the STAR that you are! But no worries - they can style you as natural or as artistic as you want so you still stay true to your own personality! They'll even come along to your shoot to do a second look so your photos have even more variety! And most importantly, they know how to make your hair and makeup stay put and looking great for your whole shoot!

"Kelly made me feel so comfortable and calm during my senior pictures and helped me pose without looking “posed”. She listened to what I wanted to get from my pictures and made it happen. She hadn’t taken pictures of “action golf shots” before but my pictures turned out AMAZING!"
