Working with seniors

is my favorite! I love it, I really do.

I love it, I really do. It is such a remarkable time in their lives. I love documenting the budding confidence of these young women (and men!) as they come into their own and are just starting to realize their place in the world, their calling, and the impact they want to have. My job as a senior photographer is to let their personality shine so they can look back on these photos years from now and remember, almost viscerally, this transition period in their lives-full of joy, curiosity, and hope. The photographs will also be treasured by family and dear friends, many of whom likely had a big role in their lives until this point and will continue to be a source of great support. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the look in a parent's eyes as they beam with what I can only imagine is the most bittersweet feeling, one of pride, happiness, but also a touch of sadness and apprehension as their daughter or son embarks on this new journey. Documenting this time of transition is a way to celebrate their accomplishments thus far and the many that are to come. I work to ensure this celebration is fun and entirely tailored to the individual that they are!
