Senior Photography in Raleigh, NC
Modern portrait sessions for high school seniors and college graduates throughout Raleigh and the Triangle. Designed to feel natural, polished, and unmistakably you.
The Senior Experience
Every senior session is thoughtfully planned from start to finish. We’ll choose locations that fit your style, help you build outfits that reflect your personality and photograph beautifully, and create images that feel natural and authentically you.
From booking to gallery delivery, the process is guided so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
Collections & Investment
High School Seniors
Senior collections begin at $475. These sessions include more extensive planning, flexible location options, and a private proofing gallery where you’ll select your images. Seniors often choose multiple outfits and, in some cases, multiple nearby locations.
College Graduates
Graduation sessions begin at $350. Most take place on your college campus in the spots that matter most to you. From iconic campus landmarks to quieter corners you’ve come to love, these sessions focus on cap and gown portraits along with celebratory images that mark the end of this chapter.
Additional digital images may be added during the proofing process. Finished artwork is ordered separately from your final gallery.
Finished Artwork
Digital files are convenient. But they don’t live anywhere unless you make them. Prints, albums, and wall pieces turn this milestone into something you can actually see every day.
I offer professional deep matte prints, custom albums, and wall artwork designed to last. Luxe collections include artwork, and everything is available à la carte if you’d rather decide after you see your gallery.
Years from now, this won’t just be “senior year.” It’ll be a snapshot of who they were before everything shifted. Having something tangible matters — especially when they’re off living the next part of their story.
Reserve Your Date
Most high school seniors begin booking in the spring of junior year to secure summer and fall dates. Graduation sessions for college seniors can be scheduled anytime leading up to commencement.
Keep in mind that campus locations become busier as graduation approaches, so booking a little earlier allows for more flexibility and shorter wait times at popular spots but it’s never too late to celebrate your milestone.
From My Senior Sessions
Who they bring
Most seniors bring a parent or friend. Someone to help with outfits, details, and keep things fun (and I usually grab a quick photo with them at the end)
2 Locations
A lot of my seniors choose to mix up their session in two locations.
Usually a mix of the city and something more natural.
3 Outfits are the Sweet Spot
I usually recommend three looks for the best mix. Something a little trendy, something more classic, and something that feels the most like you!
I talk . . a lot
There’s a lot of talking, laughing, and real moments in between photos. That’s where the best images come from.

FAQ
Where are you located, and do you travel?
I’m based in Raleigh, North Carolina and photograph seniors and graduates throughout the Triangle and surrounding areas.
Travel beyond 50 miles from Raleigh is welcome and subject to a mileage fee.
When should I book my senior or graduation session?
Most seniors book 2–4 months in advance. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) fill first.
College graduation sessions should be scheduled before peak commencement weeks to avoid heavy campus crowds.
A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due three days before your session.
What’s included in a senior session?
Each collection includes pre-session planning support, the session itself, professional editing, and a private proofing gallery where you’ll select your images.
During the proofing stage, you’ll select your included images and may add additional digital files if desired. Once your final gallery is delivered, you’ll have access to order prints, albums, and wall artwork.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place throughout Raleigh and the Triangle, including downtown Raleigh, gardens, open fields, college campuses, and travel locations. After booking, you’ll receive access to my curated location guide
Location is never random. We’ll choose something that fits your vision. Whether that’s clean and minimal, classic and timeless, or more stylized. If you want strong guidance, I’ll lead. If you have ideas, we’ll build around them.
Can I bring pets or extra people to my session?
Absolutely! I love when parents or friends hop in for a few photos during a senior session. It makes the experience even more special.
Any additional guests should be discussed ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. Pets are welcome at pet-friendly locations listed in my guide. Just be sure they’re safely handled and comfortable during the session so everyone—two-legged and four-legged—has a great time.
Can we include props like sports gear or cap and gown?
Absolutely. I love incorporating the pieces that make your session personal. Sports, instruments, college merch, dance, announcements, or anything tied to what’s next.
Cap and gown can be included during spring senior sessions, or you’re welcome to book a separate cap and gown session if you’d prefer a dedicated graduation look or multi-season experience.
Can we use glitter or confetti during our session?
I care deeply about leaving every location exactly as we found it, so glitter and confetti aren’t allowed at sessions even if labeled biodegradable.
Champagne pops are absolutely fine in appropriate outdoor spaces. We’ll just make sure it’s done thoughtfully and respectfully.
I’m always happy to brainstorm creative options that feel fun without causing damage.
Can we take photos on train tracks?
No. Train tracks are private property and extremely dangerous. For safety and legal reasons, I do not photograph on or near active railroad tracks.
If you’re drawn to an industrial look, I’m happy to suggest safer alternatives that achieve a similar aesthetic.
What happens if I need to reschedule, or if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
I try not to reschedule too early. Weather can change quickly, and some of the best sessions have happened on days that started out gloomy. If conditions look truly unfavorable, I’ll reach out at least three hours before your session to discuss options.
I understand life happens! If you need to reschedule, I’m happy to accommodate once with no fee if you give at least 48 hours’ notice. Additional reschedules will require a fee. Please note that if you arrive late, your session will still end at the scheduled time, and no refunds are available for missed sessions.
When will we receive images?
Proofing galleries are delivered approximately one week after your session. Final edited images are delivered within about three weeks after selections are made. Turnaround times may be slightly extended during peak graduation season.
