Best Kept Secret in Senior Photos

Senior year moves fast. One day you are buying school supplies, and the next, you are sending graduation announcements. Somewhere in between is the moment to capture who your senior is. But trying to fit it all into one rushed photo session? That is where the stress begins.

That is why I offer something that gives you more time, more options, and more meaningful photos: the Split Senior Session.

It is a simple idea with a big impact.

• A formal session in the fall or winter
• A cap and gown session in the spring
• One well planned experience that tells the whole story

Here is how this approach helps both seniors and their families get exactly what they want without the overwhelm.

For Moms: Classic Photos You Will Love Forever

You want portraits that feel timeless. You want the kind of images that end up framed on the wall, featured on the grad party board, and passed down for years to come. The fall or winter session is designed for exactly that.

You get:
• A relaxed, pressure free experience
• Clean, polished looks while schedules are still manageable
• Time to capture traditional poses, details, and school spirit
• Portraits you will be proud to share and print

And because it is done early, you will not be scrambling in the spring trying to check this off the list.

For Seniors: Personality Driven Images That Feel Like Them

By spring, seniors have grown into their final year. They are more confident, more expressive, and more ready to celebrate. The cap and gown session is a chance for them to have fun and reflect who they are without pressure.

They get:
• Casual, fun shots in cap and gown
• Props, hobbies, sports gear, or locations that matter to them
• A photographer they are already comfortable with
• A photo experience they actually enjoy

When I split the session, seniors are not just tolerating photos. They are part of the process.

Why It Works: Two Sessions. One Complete Story.

Trying to fit it all into one day means rushing. It means stress. It often means compromise. But when I split the session into two parts, one early in the year and one closer to graduation, I create space to breathe, plan, and get the best results.

It is more than convenience. It is intentional.
