The Senior Experience

Thoughtfully designed, beautifuly remembered

Senior sessions are relaxed, thoughtfully planned, and tailored to reflect your teen’s personality. Most sessions last one to three hours with multiple outfit changes, allowing the time and flexibility to create a beautiful, varied gallery. With guidance on wardrobe and carefully selected locations, every detail is handled so your senior can simply show up, feel confident, and enjoy the experience.

What To Expect

Our session flow from start to finish

Senior year is a milestone unlike any other, and the portrait experience should feel just as meaningful as the season itself. From the moment you reserve your session to the day your finished artwork is placed in your hands, every step is thoughtfully designed to feel guided, personal, and effortless.

The STUDIO

Where the magic comes together

One of my favorite parts of this process is inviting families into the studio to view their senior’s slideshow and choose heirloom artwork together. It’s relaxed and unhurried, and it gives everyone a chance to really feel the weight and beauty of this season. For many families, it becomes a moment they remember long after the photos are taken.

 We chose Leah when

 we saw her photography in the home of a good friend and knew immediately we wanted the same kind of pieces on our walls. Then we picked up the album on their coffee table and that sealed it. We love our daughters album so much, it's a piece I look at daily now that she's at college.

Heirloom Products

All of our product collections include finished art work

My senior sessions are designed around storytelling and created to live beyond the screen; printed, held, and cherished for a lifetime. Every session leads to an in-studio viewing and ordering appointment, where portraits come together as intentional, heirloom artwork.

I personally design every album and finished piece that leaves my studio, layering images and details that reflect who your senior is in this moment.

Locations

Urban 

My urban locations are chosen for their layered textures, striking color, and architectural character. These thoughtfully scouted spaces allow me to tailor the backdrop to your senior’s style for portraits that feel current, artistic, and full of personality.

Over the years, I’ve curated a selection of lake and river locations that deliver stunning images no matter the season. I know these spaces intimately from where to shoot to the exact time the light turns magical so your session feels relaxed and beautifully executed.

Choosing the right location is about far more than a beautiful backdrop. It involves timing, light, accessibility, crowd levels, travel flow, and how each setting photographs throughout the season. The locations featured here are some of my most requested and trusted, but they are only a starting point. With years of scouting behind me, I guide every family to places I know photograph effortlessly so you can relax and trust the process.

Lakes & Rivers

The Columbia River Gorge

Flower Fields and Gardens

I’ve spent years refining a collection of extraordinary locations throughout the Columbia River Gorge, including hidden viewpoints, quiet trails, and lesser known scenic overlooks. I know exactly where to go, when the light is at its peak, and how to create images that feel both iconic and deeply personal.

Each flower field and vineyard I photograph has been carefully selected for its beauty, light, and seasonal color. I closely track bloom timing and return to the locations that consistently photograph best, ensuring your session is planned when the landscape is at its absolute peak.
