Atlanta Senior Portrait Photographer

Senior portraits built around who you actually are

For seniors with something to say, and parents who want to remember exactly who they were at 18.

This is the one set of portraits that’s allowed to be entirely about you: what you’re into, who you’re becoming, and what you want people to see when they look at you.

Let’s make something that’s actually yours.

Senior Portrait Photography

The Investment

Your Session

Every senior session starts at $750. From the first planning conversation to the final pose, every detail is handled: concept development, a dedicated one-hour planning session, location scouting, prop sourcing, and hair, makeup, and wardrobe guidance built around your interests. Up to a four-hour experience, all of it shaped around who you are.

You show up. I handle the rest.

The session fee covers the experience itself. Digital files and artwork are chosen after your Reveal, so you only invest in what you love. The session fee is your only commitment up front.

Your Artwork

Your portraits are printed and finished by my partner labs in Italy on archival materials made to last for generations: folio boxes, albums, collages, and wall art. The kind of piece that stays on the shelf at home long after you’ve moved out.

After your Reveal, choose a curated collection or build your own. Collections start at $1,500, and most families invest between $1,500 and $3,800. Digital files are included with every purchase.

The Senior Portrait Experience

Step 1

Inquiry Call

We connect over Zoom so I can learn about you: your interests, your personality, what you want these portraits to say. It’s also a chance to make sure I’m the right fit for your vision.

Step 2

Custom Proposal

Every senior is different, so every proposal is too. I’ll build a custom quote based on our call, tailored to your specific ideas and goals.

Step 3

Contract & Invoice

Once everything looks right, you’ll sign a contract and pay a 50% deposit to lock in your date.

Step 4

Planning Meeting

We spend an hour getting every detail sorted: wardrobe, styling, hair and makeup, location, and props. The goal is to walk into shoot day with nothing left to figure out, so we can focus entirely on creating something that’s actually you.

Step 5

Shoot Prep

I’ll send over parking instructions and practical tips, like when to get a haircut and how to prepare your wardrobe. We’ll also gather any location permits or props we need ahead of time.

Step 6

The Session

After hair and makeup, we get to work. I’ll guide you through every pose and expression, and because we shoot tethered, you’ll see the results in real time and can tell me if something needs to shift.

Step 7

Culling

I go through every frame and pull the best of the best, so you only see the strongest images.

Step 8

Proofs & Ordering

I’ll walk you through your images live over Zoom at your private Reveal appointment, and you’ll choose your favorites and order heirloom products like albums, wall art, collages, and folio boxes during our call. After that, I get into the detailed editing: skin, stray hairs, clothing, every small detail that needs to be right.

Step 9

Delivery & Close Out

Your finished images arrive in your private gallery, ready to download and share. If anything needs a final adjustment, just ask. From there, your artwork goes into production and ships straight to your door.

You can also watch the video below to see the process in action!

Frequently Asked Questions

Senior sessions start at $750 and include concept development, a planning session, hair and makeup, and up to a four-hour experience. Collections start at $1,500, and most families invest between $1,500 and $3,800 in finished artwork.

Preparation starts with figuring out what you actually want these portraits to say about you. After booking, you’ll get guidance on wardrobe, location, and timing so shoot day feels calm and intentional.

For a deeper walkthrough, How to Prepare for Your Photo Session: A Complete Guide covers the process step by step.

Yes. Almost every senior feels this way walking in. Posing and expression are fully guided so you look natural and like yourself.

If this is a concern, Quick Posing Techniques for Great Pictures is a good place to start.

Your wardrobe should reflect your interests and personality. During planning, we’ll talk through colors, layers, and outfit changes so everything works together and actually represents you.

You may also find What to Wear for Your Portraits: Tips helpful while preparing.

All selected images receive professional color and exposure adjustments. Detailed retouching happens after you choose your final images during your Reveal appointment, with the option to request refinements so the result feels right.

If you want more detail on this step, The Image Editing and Delivery Process explains exactly what happens.

Proofs are typically ready within about one week. Final retouched images follow about a week per ten images selected. Printed product timelines vary: folio boxes and albums generally take about a month, while collages and wall art take about three weeks.

The most you ever risk is the $750 session fee. You’ll see every image on a large screen as we shoot and can request adjustments to posing, expression, or lighting as we go. Nothing else is purchased until your Reveal, and if nothing speaks to you, you don’t buy anything. After delivery, you can request up to three rounds of refinements on purchased images.
