Your senior year is more than just a milestone—it’s a story. A story of hard work, growth, friendship, and all the unique things that make you you. It’s the final chapter of one journey and the exciting beginning of another. Senior portraits are more than just a photo; they are your legacy. They capture who you are right now, in this unforgettable season of life.

Here’s why senior portraits matter—and how I can help you capture all the moments with my unique Encore Sessions.

Senior Portraits Should Tell Your Story

Your senior portraits should go beyond a pretty smile and a cap and gown. They should reflect what you love, who you are, and what this moment in time means to you.

Do you play sports? Let’s get you on the field.

Love music? Bring your instrument.

Obsessed with your car? We’ll feature it in your session.

Passionate about art, books, or travel? Let’s incorporate it all.

Your interests, your style, your story. This is your chance to capture what matters most to you right now.

Get Your Friends Involved

Your senior year wouldn’t be the same without your friends, so why not bring them along? Group photos with your best friends can be a fun and meaningful addition to your session. Imagine looking back years from now at the people who made your high school memories unforgettable.

Whether it’s a casual hangout, sports teammates, or your closest circle, we can capture those friendships in a way you’ll always treasure.

Introducing Encore Sessions: Capturing the Whole Year

One of the unique experiences I offer is Encore Sessions. Your senior year is filled with big moments—not just one day. With an Encore Session, you don’t have to choose just one time of year or one outfit.

Here’s what an Encore Session can look like:

  • Summer Before Senior Year: Kick things off with a casual session in the sun, featuring your hobbies, sports, or favorite places.
  • Fall: Capture the rich colors of the season or document your sports season or extracurricular activities.
  • Winter: Bring in your cozy layers, holiday vibes, or even a snowy backdrop (if Texas decides to cooperate!).
  • Spring: Celebrate your final semester, cap and gown photos, prom attire, and college announcement shots.
  • Graduation: Document the final milestone with formal cap and gown portraits and maybe even a few photos tossing that graduation cap high into the air.

Encore Sessions allow you to tell your whole senior year story—start to finish.

It’s a complete, unforgettable collection of memories, not just a single day.

Why This Matters

When you look back at your senior portraits, you’ll want to remember more than just how you looked—you’ll want to remember who you were. Your passions, your friendships, your style, your journey. And you’ll want portraits that make sense for you now and look beautiful hanging on your family’s walls for years to come.

As always, I’ll be here to guide you through the entire process—from planning outfits and choosing locations to creating portraits that match your home’s style and truly capture your personality.
