SENIOR PORTRAIT SAMPLES
a.k.a. #seniorpictures & more details below
I too, used to be that “friend with a camera.” Grateful for a few, okay shots, from a half day out… Today - The technical and aesthetic aspects are completely second nature … muscle memory that allows me
to be fully present to capture the TRUE YOU. Poses and expressions that compliment all shapes & personalities. I won’t likely be your cheapest option but can guarantee to deliver heaps of great options, in less time and at a sensible price. (all prices listed under services) I prefer turning those prior-sibling experiences into great ones for you!..

Want a senior portrait that actually looks and feels like you?
Not stiff. Not awkward. Definitely not cookie-cutter.
I get it — it’s awesome to support a friend who’s getting into photography.
That was me once, "practicing" on my classmates.
It wasn’t until years later, after entering professional portrait competitions, that I realized how much I didn't know back then: how to pose people naturally, how to balance light, how to actually bring someone's personality to the surface.
A nice camera can capture a face.
Experience captures a person.
It took years of studying, failing, learning, and mastering things like:
Keeping the sky blue and your face perfectly lit.
Showing the real color of your eyes, not hiding them in shadow.
Blending flash and natural light for images that feel alive, not staged.
But honestly? The best part wasn’t the awards.
It was when parents started saying, "You didn’t just show me what they look like. You captured who they are."
That’s when I knew I'd found my real job.
For 20 years, I was the official photographer for the Portland Rose Festival Court — an honor I’m still proud of.
Today, I'm just as excited to help you create portraits that your future self (and your classmates at your reunion) will be proud to see.
Because 20 years from now, when you slap that nametag on your chest, you’ll want it to show the real you.
Ready to create something better than basic?
Let’s make a portrait that lasts.
