HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS
For the soon to be graduate who wants unique and personalized portraits at an exciting time of life.
Why Book a Senior Portrait Session Beyond the School Photographer?
When high schools provide families with senior portraits, many parents wonder: why hire a photographer for a second round of images? The truth is, school portraits are often quick, limited, and impersonal. Most school photographers only have a few minutes with each student, working with a fixed backdrop or a standard location that doesn’t always reflect your teen’s personality.
As a mom of two teens and a photographer with over 16 years of experience, I understand how important this milestone is. Photographing teens takes patience, creativity, and the ability to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera—something that can be hard to achieve in a rushed school setting. My senior photo sessions in Marin County are designed to give your teen time to relax, be themselves, and actually enjoy the experience.
I recommend booking at least a one-hour session for the best results. This allows time for outfit changes, different locations, and a variety of looks so you’ll end up with a collection of images that truly capture your senior’s personality. For girls, I provide makeup and hair tips, and for guys, I share easy grooming advice to help them look their best. You’ll also receive a “what to wear” guide and support in choosing the perfect Marin County location, from beaches to scenic open spaces.
Most importantly, every session is planned with your teen’s individuality in mind. My goal is to create authentic, timeless senior portraits that celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime season and give you keepsakes your family will treasure long after graduation.
How Seniors Can Use Their Portraits
Your senior portraits aren’t just for the wall — they can be used in so many meaningful ways. Many Marin County high school seniors choose to feature their images in the school yearbook (if taken early enough), graduation announcements, and party invitations. Senior photos also make a memorable addition to college or scholarship applications, helping students stand out.
Of course, they’re also perfect for sharing on social media to celebrate this milestone with friends and family. Framed portraits make thoughtful gifts for grandparents and loved ones, while albums and keepsakes become treasures that parents and seniors will look back on for years to come.
