Curated Senior Portraits Across the San Francisco Peninsula
Graduation is a monumental transition: a bridge between a familiar legacy and a new horizon. My senior sessions are designed for the high school and college graduate who values confidence, clarity, and a modern aesthetic.
Serving students from Gunn, Paly, Menlo-Atherton, Burlingame High, Mercy, and Notre Dame Belmont, I move beyond the standard school portrait to create a high-end, lifestyle gallery. Whether we are capturing your final graduation milestones or your future collegiate goals, we focus on producing imagery that feels elevated, relaxed, and entirely true to you.
A Collaborative and Guided Portrait Process
The Kick-Off Planning Call. Every session begins with a collaborative call to design your vision. We will discuss your personality, your wardrobe, and scout the perfect backdrop. We can choose from the sun-drenched SF Peninsula coast or the urban textures of Burlingame and Palo Alto.
A Relaxed, Guided Environment. You do not need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I provide expert direction through every movement so the experience feels easy and natural. My approach moves away from traditional studio poses toward polished, editorial portraits that align with your unique identity.
Timing Your Session. Senior sessions are booked year-round, but I recommend scheduling either Spring of your graduating year or the summer before your school year begins. March and April are perfect for graduation celebrations, while July and August offer the best light for incoming Class of 2027 seniors.
An Investment in Your Senior Legacy
In a digital-first world, your senior portrait is your first major introduction to the world. These sessions are specifically designed for Bay Area families who require imagery that feels authentic and never forced. You are guided throughout the session so nothing feels awkward or uncertain.
I tailor every session to your unique story. We can expand your gallery with second locations or multi-day shoots, including a dedicated Cap and Gown day or a "Future College" session featuring your university sweatshirts and flags. We end every milestone with a celebration: bring some sparkling cider to toast to your hard work.
