Seniors

About our seniors work

Senior portraits, which for most people are the first photographs taken of them on their own as an adult. This is the set that goes on the wall, in the announcement, and on grandparents' refrigerators for the next decade, and the school's version is not it.

We build these around the person rather than around a location list. If it is sport, we shoot in the kit at the field. If it is music, the instrument comes. If the honest answer is none of the above, we pick places with different looks so the gallery has range: a prairie field, a brick wall downtown, a fence line at golden hour.

Timing matters more than people expect. Sunflower fields are worth about ten days. Fall color is worth three weeks. Snow is worth whenever it actually happens. Tell us what you are picturing and we will tell you the window it lives in, which is usually earlier than anyone plans for.

Two or three outfit changes across one session is the sweet spot. More than that and the session becomes changing rather than shooting.
