Senior portraits today can be so much more than a standard photo session.
Every senior has a different personality, style, passion, and energy — and their portraits should reflect that.
Whether your senior is athletic, creative, adventurous, bold, quiet, artistic, or somewhere in between, the goal is always to create images that truly feel like them.
Class of 2027 senior sessions are now being planned.
Limited Availability, we only book 25 seniors each year.

Different sports. Different personalities. Different stories.
One of my favorite things about senior sessions is that no two are ever the same. Every athlete brings a different energy, style, and vision to their session — and I love creating something unique for each of them.
From dramatic lighting and cinematic concepts to clean editorial looks and action-inspired images, these sessions are designed to go beyond the standard “sports photo.”
Senior portraits should feel personal, intentional, and completely built around the senior in front of the camera.
Class of 2027 booking is now open.

Not every senior wants a sports session — and they shouldn’t have to.
Every session I create is designed around the individual senior — their personality, their style, and what makes them feel confident in front of the camera.
Whether that’s bold, dramatic, or something more personal and relaxed, the goal is always the same: to create images that truly reflect who they are right now.
This is what senior portraits can be.

I’m incredibly honored to share that my work was selected for the cover of Senior Year Magazine’s 2026 All Sports Edition, along with 16 additional portraits featured inside the publication.
These images represent the kind of sessions I strive to create for every senior — personalized, intentional, and designed to stand out.
So grateful to the seniors and families who trust me with these moments.
Class of 2027 booking is now open, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Senior portraits aren’t one-size-fits-all — and they shouldn’t be.
Some seniors want bold and creative.
Some want natural and relaxed.
Some want something that feels completely different from anything they’ve seen before.
The goal isn’t to fit into a style…
it’s to create something that actually feels like them.
That’s what these sessions are about.
Class of 2027 is now booking.

I created OFF GRID for seniors guys who want something completely different — bold, creative, and outside the traditional senior session.
I currently have 1 spot filled and am opening 2 more before closing this concept.
If your senior wants something unique, now is the time to reach out.
