Someone laughs while hiding their face behind an open black graduation cap during an outdoor photoshoot.

Senior & Grad Sessions

Bring the truck. Bring the teddy bear.

This season only happens once. Whether your senior wants to bring their car, instrument, sports gear, cap and gown, or even the stuffed animal that's been with them since childhood, I want these photos to feel personal and uniquely them. And yes—even the camera-shy boys usually end up smiling before we're done.

FAQ

I'M AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. CAN YOU HELP?

Absolutely! Most seniors tell me this before their session, and most parents tell me we'll be lucky if they get one smile. Don't worry. I'll guide you every step of the way, and by the end of the session, we're usually laughing and having fun.

 

 

 

Can you recommend any good locations?

Absolutely! I have favorite spots throughout Kyle, Buda, Austin, San Marcos, Wimberley, and beyond. Whether you want fields, water, downtown vibes, wildflowers, or something unique, I'll help you find the perfect location.

 

 

How long will my session last?

 

Most sessions last up to one hour, giving us plenty of time for multiple outfits, locations, and a variety of images without feeling rushed.

 

What should I bring?

 

 

Bring anything that tells your story! Cap and gown, letterman jacket, instrument, sports equipment, dance shoes, your best friend (pets included), books, your car or truck, college gear, a photo of you when you were little or even the teddy bear you've had since you were a baby. The more personal, the better.

 

What if the weather is bad on the day of an outdoor shoot?

 

Texas weather can be unpredictable (I may secretly have a degree in meteorology at this point 😅). I follow multiple forecasts, and if things look iffy a day before, I’ll reach out to discuss rescheduling. My goal is to make sure we capture your session in the best conditions without unnecessary stress.

 

HOW MANY OUTFITS CAN I WEAR?

Most seniors bring 2-3 outfits including their cap & gown and/or letterman jacket. I recommend a mix of casual and dressy, plus anything specific to your hobbies, sports, or future plans. I'm happy to help with outfit ideas before your session, and I have a changing tent if the location doesn't have facilities.

 

Are the travel expenses included in your packages?

Travel is included for most locations within about 45 minutes of Kyle. For longer drives, I may add a small travel fee depending on the time and distance, since traffic and timing can make a big difference here in Central Texas. I’m always transparent with pricing ahead of time, and I’ll discuss any extra fees with you before booking.

 

Do I pay for the venue or parking?

 

In most cases, no. Many of my favorite locations are free, and I’m happy to guide you to those. If the venue has a fee—like $50 for a photography fee, $100 for a studio hour, or $10/person for park entry—I’ll let you know upfront so there are no surprises. Some locations may require us to park in a paid area, and this would be between $5-$10 (if another parking area is full).

When will I receive my photos?

 

You’ll receive a proofing gallery within 1–2 weeks of your session. Once you make your selections, your final edited gallery is delivered within another 1–2 weeks. I aim to deliver everything as quickly as possible—usually within a week—but during busy seasons like Spring and Fall, it can sometimes take the full window. My goal is always to get your memories back to you beautifully edited and ready to enjoy!

Need your photos sooner?

 

 

Can't wait to share your images? An expedited editing option is available for an additional $50. Your gallery will be moved to the front of my editing queue and delivered sooner (as long as favorites are selected promptly).
