I always look forward to early spring at the studio, because it’s senior portrait season! I started out just doing newborn photography before I branched out into other types of sessions, and it still sometimes surprises me just how much I enjoy working with teenagers. It really is so much fun!

Ariel’s Senior Portraits

Ariel's mom really wanted a session to capture her beautiful daughter’s last year of high school. This is such a perfect time for portraits, whether you intend to use them as graduation invitations, gifts for family, or just personal keepsakes.

Kids at this age almost aren’t kids anymore! They’re right on the cusp of adulthood and so many new adventures are right around the corner. As a mom, I feel like this transitional stage contains so many emotions, and it’s a season of life you won’t want to forget!

The Perfect Look

We decided to do a signature collection for this senior session so that Ariel would have the option for more outfit changes. We used a few different selections from my client closet to create the perfect look for her: a couple of elegant black dresses and a rainbow tulle gown.

I try to make the photoshoot experience as fun and relaxing as possible for all of my clients, and one way I’ve found to do that is to take the stress out of figuring out what to wear. If you’ve got something from home that you love, fantastic! But if not, I have a studio wardrobe you are more than welcome to browse through. I’ve got a beautiful variety of dresses so you’re pretty much guaranteed to find something you like!
