High School Senior Photos

High school senior photos are a great way to celebrate graduation from high school! Focused on the senior, this session is completely customized to his or her style, interests, and tastes. You’ve worked hard for four years and it’s finally time to celebrate crossing that finish line. First, we will make a plan for the session during our consultation. We will chat about what location makes the most sense (nature/park, urban, buildings, city, grunge). What type of wardrobe will you wear? From formal to casual, we can get it all! And finally, what do you want to do with the images after the session. Do you need wall art? Many seniors and their families opt for the custom album which includes at least 25 images. We will make a plan and get to know each other. When the session comes, it’ll be just like a walk in the park!

Recent Sessions

Some seniors do their photo sessions in the Fall and some do them in the Spring. Either time is fine but you’ll want to do them early if you want to include a shot in the yearbook. Otherwise, we can do them in the Spring and just enjoy the session. My session with Tori was so much fun! She had a few outfits and the location was perfect. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and it all was amazing! Trevor’s session happened to be on a cloudy day with drizzle off and on. But we had a great session and ended up finding some balloons that matched his school colors along the way. What a great find!

The #1 thing I hear from seniors? “I don’t know how to pose.” 👇🏻

Good news: you don’t need to. That’s my job. 🤍

You don’t have to practice poses in the mirror or spend hours saving inspiration on Pinterest before your session. I’ll guide you through where to put your hands, how to shift your weight, when to move, where to look—all of it.

We’ll mix the classic poses with sitting, walking, twirling, laughing, and plenty of movement so your final gallery has variety without feeling forced.

Save this Senior Girl Posing Guide for a little inspiration, but remember: the best poses are the ones that still feel like you.

🎓 Class of 2027: Senior season is here! If you’re ready to start planning your session, head to the link in my bio to book a consultation.

You’re not supposed to know what to do in front of the camera—that’s my job. 🙌🏼

I’ll tell you where to put your hands, how to angle your body, when to shift your weight, where to look, and yes… I’ll probably demonstrate it myself first. 😂

Good posing isn’t about memorizing a bunch of complicated positions. It’s about making small adjustments that help you look confident, approachable, and like yourself.

And if you want a little head start before your next headshot or branding session, I put together a free guide with 5 Power Poses Every Professional Should Know.

These are simple poses you can use for professional photos, speaking engagements, events, or anytime a camera gets pointed your way.

📸 Grab the free guide through the link in my bio—and save this reel as proof that you will never be left standing in front of my camera wondering what to do with your hands. 😂

I’ve been a photographer for a long time, and somewhere along the way I realized the photos are only part of what I get to create. 🤍

I get to help someone who hates being photographed finally feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I get to help business owners show up confidently for the brands they’ve worked so hard to build.

Yes, I make photographs.

But I also get to create confidence, connection, and something worth holding onto.

And I think that’s a pretty great way to make a living. 📸

Ready to create something of your own? Whether you need updated headshots, fresh branding photos, senior portraits, or family photos, I’d love to have you in front of my camera.

If your team is constantly changing… this is worth knowing. 👇🏼

Group photos can be one of the hardest things to keep updated—especially for businesses with high turnover, growing teams, or people who aren’t always in the same place at the same time.

That’s where a group composite comes in.

Instead of trying to coordinate everyone for one big photo, I photograph each person individually—so you get cohesive, professional headshots—and then build the group image from there.

The biggest benefit?

When someone joins or leaves your team, you don’t have to start over. We simply update the composite—no need to reschedule a full team session.

It’s a much more flexible (and realistic) way to keep your team looking consistent and up to date.

If your team photos have been on your to-do list, this might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

🤝🏼 Meet Danielle Woods

Danielle is a powerhouse in the world of HR technology—helping companies around the globe turn HR into a high-impact, value-driving part of their business. As a Global Director of People Technology and Workday strategist, she’s led digital transformations across 40+ countries and supported companies through major milestones like M&As and IPOs. 🚀

This is Danielle’s third branding session with me—and that’s something I always love to see.

Because your brand isn’t static. As your business grows and evolves, your visuals should reflect that.

For Danielle’s last two sessions, we worked in a professional studio setting. This time, she wanted something more relaxed and personal—so we turned her home into the backdrop.

And that shift matters. Your photos should match not just what you do, but how you show up now.

Updating your branding isn’t about starting over—it’s about staying aligned with where your business is today.

Danielle, thank you for trusting me (again) to capture your brand. 🤍

2027 graduates… this is your moment. ✨👇🏻

Senior year comes up faster than you think—and before you know it, calendars are full and you’re trying to squeeze something in last minute.

The best sessions happen when there’s time to plan.
Time to choose the right location, the right outfits, and create photos that actually feel like you.

Every senior you see here had a session that was intentional, relaxed, and built around who they are.

That’s what makes the difference.

If you’re part of the Class of 2027 (or the parent of), now is the time to start thinking about your session.
