Capturing Your Senior’s Personality, Style, and Story
It feels like just yesterday they were taking their first steps — and now, here they are, preparing to take their next big one. Senior year is such a special chapter, and your portraits should reflect everything that makes this season unforgettable. The Senior Signature Portrait Session is designed to create timeless images that capture your senior’s personality, accomplishments, and spirit in an authentic, beautiful way.
Sessions take place either in my cozy Fisher studio or at one of my favorite outdoor locations, carefully chosen for soft, flattering light and natural backdrops. With plenty of time built in, these sessions are never rushed — giving room for outfit changes, genuine laughter, and those quiet, meaningful moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
Your investment includes the full session experience and your complete collection of hand-edited images, delivered in a private online gallery with full printing rights. More than just photos, these portraits are lasting memories of who your senior is right now — before they step into their next adventure.

Senior year moves fast — and sometimes, you just need a simple, beautiful way to capture this incredible season. The Senior Short & Sweet Portrait Session is designed for busy seniors and parents who want a fresh collection of timeless images without committing to a full session.
Held in my cozy Fisher studio or at one of my favorite outdoor locations, these sessions are up to 30 minutes and allow for one location and up to two outfit changes. The focus stays on what matters most — genuine expressions, natural moments, and portraits that truly reflect who your senior is right now.
Your session includes 10 hand-edited images of your choice, with the option to purchase additional favorites if you’d like. Simple, intentional, and stress-free, the Short & Sweet session is the perfect way to celebrate your senior’s milestone year while keeping the investment light and the experience enjoyable.

To reserve your date, we'll need a contract as well as a retainer. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know!
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, I take photos for a living and even feel like a deer in the headlights when I'm in front of the camera.
You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and I coach you through images, you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. I'm well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.
We're Awkward and my kids don't sit still.
No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule - usually 2-3 hours before you're scheduled session time.
.
Often, when we're scheduling your initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format.
How will we receive our photos?
Absolutely. Well‑behaved pets are welcome—just make sure to keep them on a leash. Most of my outdoor locations require pets to be leashed (but don't worry, we can take it off for a few pictures if you trust your pet not to run away. Also it is a good idea to bring a dedicated handler so we can give your furry family member breaks while we capture the rest of your portraits.
Can we include our family pet?
