Hey Duluth — I’m back! After a long stretch of Orange County sun and SoCal glow, I’m trading palm trees for pines and returning to the wildflower-strewn trails and tumbling waterfalls that make Duluth the dreamiest playground for senior portraits. I haven't held senior sessions here since 2019, and I can’t wait to chase golden light along Lake Superior cliffs, splash through mossy creek corners, and find those perfect dramatic backdrops that turn a senior session into cinematic art and fairytale images.
I’m offering just two senior spots: July 5 and July 6. I specialize in bold, creative teen portraits that feel like you — but I'm also down for family and couples sessions, too, whether that’s edgy downtown vibes with murals and industrial grit, or soft, movement-filled images among waterfalls and wildflowers. If you want dramatic silhouettes, playful motion shots, or portraits that look like they belong on a gallery wall (and your Instagram), let’s make it happen.
My sessions are ideal for seniors who want something more true to them than basic yearbook photos. I am a great fit if they want portraits that feel creative, elevated, and truly personalized and empowering.
I thrive on creating bold, vibrant, unforgettable portraits that reflect each senior’s personality and style. From the first conversation to the final images, the experience is crafted and collaborated to feel personal, expressive, and fully customized.
Senior portraits are so much more than holding up a grad year sign in a studio for 15 minutes. They should capture personality, confidence, and the energy of the season. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and professional portraits help preserve this milestone in such a meaningful way.
A thoughtfully planned senior session gives you images that feel polished, expressive, and completely you. Whether your style is edgy, modern, classic, or artistic, the goal is to create portraits that stand out and feel timeless!
My approach is built around creativity and individuality and naturally inspired and personally collaborated with each teen I meet. Every session is designed to bring out their best in a way that feels natural and easy. Instead of a one-size-fits-all experience, each senior gets a portrait session that is tailored to their vision.
Each senior experience will include:
Because these sessions are only available for two days, these spots are expected to fill quickly. If you have been thinking about booking senior portraits, this is the perfect chance to make it happen with an award winning portrait photographer who will provide images and creative skill that are truly a unique and different eye.
I would love to create something unforgettable with you. Reach out today to learn more about availability for July 5 and 6 and secure your spot. These two spots are also open to families and couples. Let’s create an experience to celebrate these moments the way they should be celebrated!
