Senior year is a special time. It’s not just turning a page in life, but a pivotal page that needs to be captured. I love images that tell a story and show off personality. I’d love to highlight you or your senior.
I run my senior sessions as follows.
Senior Speed Session – $300
Perfect for when you just need a few photos for an invitation or your school’s yearbook? I like to have fun with senior sessions and this QUICK 20-30 minute session is as easy and painless as possible. We’ll meet at your local school or a similar location for the photo session. After the session is over, you’ll get an email to an online proof gallery. The session fee is $300 and includes the session, an online gallery to choose images from, and a $100 photo credit toward purchased photos from your session.
Senior Session – $500
A full senior session lets you show off a little personality. If you want photos that actually capture your interests and show who you are in more detail, this is the session for you.
A senior session starts off with a brief meeting where we can get to know each other a little bit and plan out your shoot so that we capture your interests. After your shoot is planned, The actual session will be scheduled for a different day. The session usually lasts up to 3 hours and can be tailored to various personal interests. If you are into sports, we can spend an hour shooting sports. If you have some other fun hobbies we can transition to that. We can get a variety of different looks in this one session. The session includes a proof gallery and a photo credit of $200 towards images or prints purchased.
Add On Couple – $100
Senior photo sessions are intended to highlight the personality of one person. However, sometimes a high school sweetheart is a significant part of your senior year. We’re happy to capture that aspect as well, but a couples shoot is a very different shoot than an individual portrait session. Just let us know and we will add on up to 30 minutes into your senior session for your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Add On Speed Session – $300 $250

A Year in the Life of a High School Senior
Sometimes High School Seniors have a lot of hobbies and interests that cover more areas than can be fit into just one session or even two sessions. For many people, it’s not just a few photos from one day that they want to capture. You may want photos to remember your whole Senior year. The senior year package consists of up to four different sessions spread across the year. The sessions can be customized but ideally, we’ll begin in the summer before school starts. We can spend some time capturing water sports or some other summertime activity, etc… The next session is typically scheduled just after school is starting and temperatures begin to come down. This session can be a Friday night lights theme or more of a casual session that captures the beginning of your school year. The next session is really special. You’re halfway through your senior year. If hunting is your passion, we can shoot your own outdoor life session. For the final session, you’ll be wrapping up school and spring hobbies or softball or baseball maybe your life. College or trade school or military service may be your next step. These decisions are huge. We’d love to capture that part of your personality as well.
The total investment in all 3 sessions is $1,500 with a 10% deposit due at booking, the remaining balance will be divided into 3 equal payments due at each session or before the final shoot. This helps spread the cost over the course of the year instead of one lump sum. These sessions come with your own private online gallery and a $300 photo credit toward photos from your gallery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get the files with the sessions?
A photo credit toward the purchase of photos is included with each session, but your session fee does not include digital files and does not include sales taxes on photos. Prints start as low as $10 and digital photos may be purchased through your gallery at $30/photo or $500/full gallery of images. The session fee is a creative fee that covers the time spent planning your shoot, the session itself, and editing/organizing the files for a photo gallery of images from the session. If you need a digital copy of an image from your gallery, digital photos may be purchased individually or as part of a separate photo package using the photo credit which is included with your session. If you want to share your senior portraits with friends and family online (and who doesn’t!), you’ll want to share your digital online gallery from our website. The photos are watermarked and are not printable, but your photo gallery can easily be shared online to highlight your senior year and has no expiration date.
Do you travel?
I frequently travel for photo shoots. Travel within 1 hour of El Dorado, AR is included in the session fee. But if you have somewhere in mind that is beyond approximately 60 miles of El Dorado, additional travel expenses incurred will be added to the final invoice.
