Choosing your senior photographer is more than just picking someone with a camera—it’s about finding someone who will make you feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen. That’s exactly what I do. From the moment you book, I guide you every step of the way, from outfit selection to posing. I’ll coach you through every pose to bring out your natural beauty and personality. My goal isn’t just to take stunning photos—it’s to give you an unforgettable experience that leaves you feeling amazing inside and out. This is your time to shine, and I’ll be there to capture every moment in a way that’s uniquely you.

To put you on our calendar we ask for a $250 non-refundable retainer, all of it applies towards your final purchase. We offer many options that make this experience truly a memorable one. Many of our clients spend $300-500 for their package, sometimes more, because they love the work. But you can spend whatever your budget will allow. Call for details.

We feel that whatever amount you spend, shouldn't you get quality portraits that you are proud of? Choose wisely. Get the best. We won't let you down!

 TOP 5 TIPS FOR A GREAT SENIOR PORTRAIT

1. Start planning and evaluating studios now. The best specials happen in June, July, and August. Senior portraits are done in the summer and fall so they can meet yearbook deadlines and take advantage of the seasonal colors.

2. Choose a Certified Professional? Professional Photographers continually participate in extensive training and testing to assure you the best and latest in portrait expertise. Ask the photographer your considering if they are a Certified, or non certified.

3. Today everyone with a phone and a web site is claiming to be a “professional.” Many beginners want to “practice” on your senior and shoot “on location”. The fact is, they don’t know professional lighting or how to pose you to look your best. Faces should pop out from the background and eyes should sparkle and be well lit.  One hundred poor quality pictures are not worth one fine quality portrait.

4. Look for a photographer that produces senior portraits that are timeless, classy and appropriate for friends and family. At Keepsake we produce some pretty exciting portraits but we draw the line with overly provocative shots. It's not what you want to send to relatives or have circulating on the net.

6. You don’t have to use your schools poor quality yearbook photo. If your school is offering to take your yearbook picture, you don’t have to use it or buy their products. You can submit a great shot of you taken by a professional. It’s easy and free with any package purchase at Keepsake, ask for details.
