Senior Portraits Built Around Who You Actually Are

Senior Portrait Photographer in Atlanta


Not the line at school. Not the same five poses every senior in your class will have.

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

Let’s make something that’s actually yours.

A SENIOR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE Built For You

Most senior photos check a box. Cap and gown, a few smiles, done by lunch.

This is different. If you’re looking for…

  • Portraits that reflect your actual interests: the sport, the instrument, the craft, the thing you can’t stop thinking about
  • A creative, collaborative session where your personality shapes every decision, not a preset pose list
  • Finished artwork worth keeping long after your senior year ends

Then you’re in the right place.

The Investment

Your Session

Every senior session starts at $500. From the first planning conversation to the final pose, every detail is handled: concept development, a dedicated one-hour planning session, location scouting, props 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.

Please note: the session fee does not include digital files or products. Those are purchased separately afterward, so you only invest in what you actually love.

Your Artwork

What comes out of this session isn’t a file that sits in a folder until graduation, then disappears. It’s archival-quality artwork, custom-crafted by my exclusive partners in Italy: folio boxes, collages, wall art, and albums built to last well past senior year.

After your reveal, choose from curated collections or build your own. Most clients invest between $1,500 and $3,800 in finished artwork, with collections ranging up to $5,200. Digital files are included with every purchase.

Minimum Product Order – $1,500

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. You’ll review a curated set, not a flood of near-duplicates.

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.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!

Mike is an absolute blast to work with, and is so talented! He takes the extra step to make your photos exactly how you want. I had some senior portraits done and he took the time to answer any and all questions I had, talk me through each shot, and made sure everything was looking good behind the camera.

He has an eye for intricate details, gives great ideas and suggestions, and that really shines throughout his work! I’m so incredibly pleased with how my images came out.

Run, don’t walk, to book your photography session with Mike!!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Senior sessions start at $500 and include concept development, a planning session, hair and makeup, and up to a four-hour experience. Most clients 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 everything feels intentional rather than rushed.

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, not stiff or staged.

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, not just look nice in a photo. 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.

During your session, my camera connects to a laptop so we can review images together in real time. You’ll see exactly what we’re capturing and can request adjustments to posing, expression, or lighting as we go. After delivery, you may request up to three rounds of refinements on purchased images.
