OUR RETOUCHING PHILOSOPHY:

NO FILTERS.  NO OVER-EDITING.  BEAUTIFUL, JUST LIKE YOU!

We believe your senior portraits should look authentically like you — not overly Photoshopped or heavily edited. Every image is custom retouched by hand, and we never use filters.

Skin should have texture. Our goal is simply to remove temporary blemishes while preserving your natural features so you still look like yourself on your very best day.

Much of our editing focuses on enhancing the environment around you. We may add grass where it’s sparse, enhance flowers if they’re not yet in bloom, or make subtle background adjustments to ensure everything looks its best. Occasionally, we’ll adjust clothing tones so they coordinate beautifully with the setting. The result? Images that feel polished, timeless, and completely you!

PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP

NATURAL AND AUTHENTIC

We believe professional makeup should enhance who you are — never change you into someone you’re not. Our professional makeup artist is dedicated to following your lead when it comes to the level of makeup you feel most comfortable wearing. Because most of our clients prefer a natural look, the goal is always to enhance your best features while gently concealing temporary blemishes.

Professional makeup actually allows your images to look less retouched. It reduces shine, evens skin tone, and creates a smooth, camera-ready finish — meaning less editing is needed later.

The best part of having your makeup professionally done is how it makes you feel during your session: confident, polished, and completely at ease.

Mary, our talented professional makeup artist, understands exactly how makeup translates on camera. She enhances your natural beauty while keeping you looking like yourself. Her goal is simple — to help every client feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful before they ever step in front of the camera.

THE CUSTOM EXPERIENCE

UNIQUE LIKE YOU

We believe every senior portrait session should be authentic and completely unique to you. When someone looks at your finished portraits, they should instantly see you in every image. That’s why we love collaborating with each senior to craft a custom portrait experience that reflects your personality, interests, and style.

Your consultation is where the magic begins. Getting to know you helps us understand your vision so we can thoughtfully design a session that feels true to who you are.

Two of the first decisions we’ll make together are season and location. The season influences your color palette and wardrobe choices, while the location sets the overall vibe. A downtown setting might offer bold textures, architectural elements, and vibrant tones, while a field of flowers creates a softer, more natural, feminine feel.

And remember — you don’t have to choose just one. Your senior year is multifaceted, and your portraits can be too. We love designing sessions that showcase every side of your personality.

The goal is authenticity.

Be sure to explore our Location Videos for inspiration and discover which settings speak to you most. They’re a wonderful way to start envisioning how your senior session can come to life.

WHAT TO WEAR

STYLED TO PERFECTION

We believe thoughtful styling is the foundation of unforgettable portraits and we love helping you plan the perfect outfit for each location. During your consultation, we’ll personally sit down with you to harmonize and complement the colors of your clothing with the tones of the environment so everything works together beautifully.

To take your planning experience to the next level, we encourage you to visit our favorite local boutique, For Posh Sake, where you’ll find on-trend styles that photograph beautifully. The right clothing can truly be the key to flattering every figure and helping you feel confident in front of the camera.

HEIRLOOM WALL PORTRAITS & ALBUMS

ART THAT LASTS A LIFETIME

We believe your portraits deserve to be printed, preserved, and celebrated as artwork that will be cherished for generations. While we love sharing images on Instagram and social media, your senior portraits deserve more than a screen.

After your custom senior portrait experience, we guide you through the process of selecting albums and artwork designed specifically for your home. For over twenty years, we have partnered with the finest professional labs that print exclusively with archival inks on museum-quality substrates — ensuring your portraits stand the test of time.

We offer a thoughtfully curated collection of products to complement every home style, from formal and elegant to relaxed and modern.

Our goal is to match each image with the perfect presentation piece so it not only showcases your portrait beautifully but also aligns seamlessly with your home’s aesthetic.

For example, our fine art watercolor paper pairs beautifully with a soft, feminine portrait, while acrylic or metal prints enhance the bold texture and grit of an athlete’s image. We also offer heirloom albums that preserve all of your favorite portraits in one timeless keepsake.

From custom wall art and handcrafted albums to digital files, every option is designed to preserve your memories in a way that feels authentic to you.

And don’t worry — you won’t need to make any final decisions until after your session, once you’ve had time to view and fall in love with your images.
