When a client returns after 9 years (nine!) and is practically a different person….

In the case of Paxton, he really was a different person! When I first met him he was a spunky little kid. Aww, check out his family portraits from all those years ago —

And now, when I met up with Paxton and his mom for his senior portraits, I couldn’t believe my eyes! Like I said, a whole different person! He was taller than me, to start with!

We went to the same spot where we did his family photos. (Sniff.)

Here is Paxton, all grown up and ready to graduate from high school! Congratulations!

Not Into Photos? No Problem. Here's Why Senior Portraits Are Still Worth It

Let’s be honest, not every senior is counting down the days until their perfectly planned portrait session. Some are all in, others are kind of meh, and some would rather do literally anything else. And that’s okay. (I’ve seen it ALL!)

But here’s the thing: senior portraits aren’t just about the photos. They’re about taking a moment to recognize who your kid is right now — before the cap and gown, before the next big chapter, before they’re officially off and running into their future.

Even the most camera-shy senior walks away with photos that feel real and honest — not forced, not overly posed. Just… them.

WHY DO SENIOR PORTRAITS MATTER?

PARENTS
This is your chance to pause and see your senior through someone else’s lens — literally.

You’ve seen them grow up day by day. A professional portrait shows them in a whole new light (with genuine expressions, I promise).
You’ll have something tangible to hold onto when the college dorm or military enlistment suddenly feels way too far away.

SENIORS
They may not say it, but they do want to be seen for who they are.

A low-pressure (and quick), guided session helps even the most reluctant senior feel comfortable and confident.
It’s a rare opportunity to just be themselves — no school dress code, no sports uniform, no expectations.
Don’t forget, they need a portrait for the yearbook!

THE FUTURE
You might not realize how meaningful these photos are… until much later.

These are the photos you’ll dig out for family parties, wedding slideshows, and portrait walls years from now.
They become part of your family’s legacy — a visual reminder of that final chapter of childhood.

So whether your senior is all-in or barely willing to show up, trust that I will make it easy, relaxed, and fun.

Ready to book? Whether you’re looking for a quick, no-fuss Express Session or the full senior portrait experience, I’ve got options to fit every personality. Let’s make something they’ll be proud to look back on.
