Denver Senior Portrait Sessions
This chapter is closing. Let's make sure you capture it before it does.
Denver senior portraits for the Class of 2027 — as unique as the person wearing the cap and gown.
Senior portraits aren't just a yearbook requirement. They're one of the last times you'll get to freeze them exactly as they are right now — at the top of their game, on the edge of everything. I know how fast this chapter goes. I'm a mom too.
My sessions are built around who your senior actually is. If they're in band, they bring the instrument. If they play soccer, we shoot at the field. If they just want great photos with mountain views and a few outfit changes — we can absolutely do that too.
No awkward posing. No cheesy backdrops. Just them, in their element, in beautiful Colorado light.

What does a session actually look like?
Here's the honest answer: it looks a lot more like hanging out than having your photo taken.
We start by walking the location together, no posing yet, just getting comfortable in the space. I'll point out the light, talk through the plan, and make sure your senior knows exactly what to expect. There's no pressure to be 'on' from the second we arrive.
Once we start shooting, I give guidance every step of the way. I'll tell them where to stand, how to angle, where to look, but I keep it relaxed. Most of my seniors say they forgot I was even taking photos by the end.
A few things you can count on:
-
No rushing. We move at whatever pace feels comfortable.
-
Posing guidance the whole way through. They won't be left standing there wondering what to do with their hands.
-
Outfit changes on their timeline. Need a few minutes to switch? Take them.
-
Honest feedback on what's working. If a location or angle isn't giving us what we want, I'll say so and we'll adjust.
-
Fun. Genuinely. Even if your senior was hesitant.
By the time we wrap up, we'll have worked through every outfit, tried a few different spots, and I'll already know which frames are going to be the ones you love.
BUILT FOR THEM. ONLY THEM.
No two sessions look the same, because no two seniors are the same.
Tell me who they actually are.
When you reach out, I'm going to ask a few questions that might feel unexpected for a photography inquiry. Things like: What are they into? Are they in sports, theater, band, art? What do they want to do after graduation? What makes them laugh?
I ask because I don't want to give you generic senior photos. I want photos that look like them, the specific, real version of them, not a posed version.
That means:
-
Bring the instrument. Band or orchestra? We shoot with it.
-
Bring the jersey. Athlete? We go to the field, the court, or the course.
-
Bring the sketchbook, the camera, the cleats, the letter jacket, the chess board.
-
Not sure what to bring? I'll help you figure it out.
The goal is that ten years from now, they look back at these photos and think: yes, that was exactly me.
Colorado is our studio.
One of my favorite things about shooting in Colorado is that the backdrop does half the work. Golden hour in the foothills, downtown Denver murals, open fields in Highlands Ranch, the trails near Golden — every location tells a different story.
I work with seniors all across the Denver metro area, including Littleton, Arvada, Westminster, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Commerce City, Brighton, Lakewood, Golden, Parker, Castle Rock, Reunion, Todd Creek, and beyond. Not sure what location is right? Tell me their vibe and I'll make a recommendation.
Studio sessions are also available for seniors who want a clean, controlled backdrop or a more editorial look.

FAQ
When should I book senior photos in Denver? Most Denver-area high schools require yearbook portraits by mid-October, so it's best to book in late summer — ideally August or early September. Booking opens for the Class of 2027 in August. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when spots open.
What should my senior wear for photos? There are no rules — and that's the point. Bring multiple outfits: something casual, something dressy, something that represents who they are. Encourage your senior to bring anything meaningful: a sports jersey, an instrument, art supplies, or a letter jacket. A full styling guide is sent after booking.
Where do senior photo sessions take place in Denver? Sessions take place at outdoor locations across the Denver metro — including Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Arvada, Golden, Westminster, Commerce City, Brighton, Lakewood, Parker, Castle Rock, Centennial, Reunion, Todd Creek, and more. I help each senior pick a location that matches their vibe. Studio sessions are also available.
What if my teen doesn't want senior photos taken? This comes up more than you'd think. Most hesitant seniors warm up within the first few minutes once they're in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Sessions are conversational and fun — not stiff or posed. Many teens who didn't want to come end up loving their photos and being the ones who share them most.
What can I do with my senior photos once I have them? So much more than yearbook. Every package comes with a full print release, meaning you can use and print your images however you'd like — through me or on your own. Popular options include graduation announcements and invitations, sports banners, framed prints for grandparents, custom photo albums, and senior slideshow memory books. Not ready to make printing decisions right away? No pressure — just reach out when you're ready and I'll send over print pricing.
Can we bring sports equipment or instruments to senior photos? Absolutely — and I encourage it. If your senior is an athlete, musician, artist, or has any passion central to who they are, bring it. Those are often the most meaningful and unique shots in the whole gallery.
