    Style + Location Planning

    Your session starts long before the camera comes out. We will work together to design a completely personalized experience that reflects your vibe — whether that’s sleek and modern, boho and sunlit, bold and urban, or soft and natural.

    Together we will:

    Choose outfits that highlight your personality and flatter you on camera.

    Mix textures, colors, and layers to add visual depth

    Match your wardrobe to the perfect locations — think golden fields, vibrant murals, downtown architecture, rose gardens, custom studio sets or quiet tree-lined paths.

    Confident + Guided Posing

    You don’t need to know how to pose or be a professional model! These are your senior portraits!

    I have 15 years of expertise and now teach other Senior Portrait Photographers how to pose their clients!

    From the moment your session begins, I’ll guide you with easy, natural direction that helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're outgoing or shy, you’ll feel camera-ready! I’ll coach you through every pose, angle, and expression so you look and feel amazing.

    We’ll work together to:

    Highlight your best angles with natural, flattering movement

    Use subtle adjustments to bring out genuine emotion and energy

    Create a mix of posed and candid moments that feel effortless and you

    There’s no stiff posing, no awkward smiles — just a relaxed, encouraging vibe that helps your confidence shine through.

    Because when you feel good, you look incredible — and the camera sees it all.
