Senior Photography

Senior Portraits

The West End Photography Experience

Whether graduating from high school or college, the senior year is an exciting time of change that you will want to document professionally.  The photo shoot itself will fly by and be fun! I promise!

Imagine if you leave your photography session feeling confident, empowered and excited.  I love it when someone comes in who says they are not photogenic and hates having their picture taken and by the end they are totally into it and having fun.

The result? Photos as unique as you that you will be excited about! My senior portraits look natural, not overly lit or processed, allowing you to focus on the image and not the technique.  About a week after the session we will meet at the studio for a viewing appointment, or you can view them on a private web site. At the studio I can show the images at actual size and even how they will look on your own walls! I can help you choose the right sizes, finish and frames for your home.

We also have an incredible assortment of unique products including albums, frames, fine art giclee prints, canvases, and cards.

A consultation in the studio before hand is the perfect way to make sure we are all on the same page with color preferences, style, clothing, hair, location, props, make up, etc. Also, it gives me a chance to get to know you. What kind of images do you like – candid or more traditional? What kind of activities are you into? Are there any special locations you have in mind? Great communication before the photo shoot insures a successful outcome. Call us today to schedule your free consultation.

Where to go for your portrait?

Urban, natural, studio or a combination? With over 18 years as a photographer in Boulder I know the best spots and how to avoid the crowds.  I also have the OSMP permit to photograph on open space lands in Boulder. I’ve photographed in the foothills, mountains, parks, alleys, on the doorsteps of buildings, on horses, on skateboards, street corners, sports fields, clients homes, farm fields, barns, and on CU campus.

Schedule your senior session in the spring of your junior year, the summer before your senior year or the fall of your senior year.  Since the senior year is so busy I recommend doing your senior session before the school year starts.  We work with kids from Boulder High, Fairview, Niwot High School, Monarch, Longmont and many others.
