Your senior year is more than a milestone—it's a celebration of who you are and everything you’ve worked for. As a full-service photographer, I create portraits that capture your spirit, your story, and what matters most to you—whether that’s your horse, your dog, or simply being in your favorite places. From planning to finished artwork, I make the experience effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable.
With a natural approach and a trained eye for connection and emotion, I create soulful portraits that feel true to you—timeless reminders of this exciting season. Let’s create something beautiful together—and have a whole lot of fun along the way.
Senior Portraits
Every senior has a unique story to tell, and that’s where the process begins—with a conversation. I want to get to know you, your style, your interests, and what you envision for your portraits, whether that includes your horse, your dog, or simply the places you love most.
We’ll plan with the end in mind, making sure every detail feels true to you—from your session location to how you'll showcase your images in your home. I’ll guide you every step of the way, so your portraits feel personal, timeless, and worthy of this exciting season in your life.
LET's CONNECT
what to expect
Once your date is reserved, we’ll team up to find the perfect spot for your session—whether it’s a coastal beach, a quiet field, a charming small town, or somewhere personal to you. I usually recommend choosing one location to keep things relaxed and focused, but if it’s a new place, I’ll scout it ahead of time to find the best light and the best moments.
If you’re not sure where you want to go, that’s part of the fun! Share the vibe you're dreaming of, and I’ll suggest a few Maine locations that capture the look and feel you’re after—so your portraits feel as authentic and unforgettable as this season of your life.
LOCATION
what to expect
I’ve put together some helpful tips for choosing outfits, and I’ll share them once you book your session. The key is to wear what feels like you—something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, while also being easy to move in for a variety of poses. Whether it’s a dress, cozy sweater with boots, or a casual look you love, your outfits should reflect your style and personality.
If you’re bringing your horse or dog, we’ll make sure your outfit complements them, so the bond you share really shines. The goal is for you to feel your best, move with ease, and have fun during your session!

Your session will be fully planned out before we start shooting. Together, we will make sure that you love your outfits, the location, and that the season fits your aesthetic. We start with beautiful light either early morning or a few hours before the sun goes down.
On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to cooperate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take about two hours from start to finish.
The SEssion
what to expect
What you want is what you will buy, there is no hard sell. My job is to take beautiful photographs that you will love. After your session, your photos are carefully hand-edited by me to achieve optimal imagery. Then we will meet again at your viewing & ordering appointment so I can share the best of what we captured. This is the time when you will finalize your portrait order, and I’ll be right there to help you sort through the images and make final decisions on what will look best with your decor. I’ll show you actual size and pair images together for a stunning album or wall gallery. I can’t wait for you to see!
