It's time to ! For the grads who want to feel more like a model and less like a little kid.
celebrate
Are you ready yet?
They did it! You did it! All those late night homework sessions, early morning practices, and driving around all over town like it's your full time job. It's coming to an end and soon your senior will be off on their next adventure. They'll be making a life of their own and I know it feels bittersweet for everyone. My goal with senior sessions is always to give a big variety of images that both Mom and graduate will love. Some where they look fully adult like they stepped out of a magazine, and others where you see the deep belly laugh smiling face of the kid you've always known. I encourage parents to attend the session as well so I can snap a few shots of you together at the end. They're only celebrating this milestone once so let's capture stunning portraits of them that you will cherish forever.
This is the moment
they're straddling childhood and adulthood.

Featured images
You have one foot stepped into adulthood so I don't ever want to give you images that make you feel too young. My posing for seniors is always age appropriate and never too cutesy or childish. On that note I don't recommend bringing props to your session. It can be very tough to incorporate these in a way that doesn't feel cheesy. But if you have an idea in mind run it past me!
No little kid stuff
The best images come when you are moving around and staying in the flow of the shoot. I never want you to look or feel stiff and posed! I'll give you lots of posing guidance and direction so you'll never be left wondering what to do and by the end of the session we'll have images that are perfect for both you grad announcements and your social media.

Be prepared to
You can have as much variety as you want in this session! I usually recommend 2 or 3 different outfits and choosing a location that has a few different looks. Your final collection will have a wide range of composition and styles ranging from editorial, fine art, candid and classic portraiture.
Lots of Variety
from your session with Alex

I've been shooting seniors for more than a decade and know exactly how to capture their energy and personality in the most gorgeous way possible.
ALEX IS LITERALLY INCREDIBLE. I’ve always considered myself a non-photogenic person and also someone who’s pretty self conscious, and Alex had me forgetting both of those things in the first 5 minutes of shooting. She will have you laughing and feeling SO good about yourself the entire time. After my shoot, all I could think about was how amazing Alex was, and I hadn’t even seen any of the photos. AND THEN I GOT THE PHOTOS AND LOVED HER EVEN MORE. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s the best!

Loved how ALEX WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE OUR FAMILY PERFECTLY! She truly knows how to document and capture people and it is expressed throughout her images! We loved everything about our experience working with her! Thank you for creating something so beautiful that we can cherish for a lifetime! We love our photos!

ALEX IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE SPIRIT ANIMAL. The photos were candid, not staged, and she always seemed to capture the light just right. She was sweet, attentive, and took great shots of all my family. She was never pushy, laughed often, and was a GREAT photographer. I work in fashion, and I was blown away with her ability to see great shots. Two of my good friends were married this August as well and we attended each others weddings. Both girls wished they would have hired her for their weddings. SHE IS MAGIC!

ALEX IS A TRUE ARTIST by every definition of the word. Her ability to work with natural light and shadows is second to none. I had an idea of what I wanted my photographs to look like and she delivered pictures that were better than I expected! She was so professional and great to work with. I highly, highly, highly recommend her as a photographer!

I’ve had several sessions with Alex over the years, most recently she did an in-home motherhood session with me and my kids. The pictures turned out wonderful, as always! ALEX HAS A GREAT EYE FOR GETTING BEAUTIFUL PICTURES THAT DON'T FEEL STAGED/BASIC/POSED. The pictures are warm, vibrant, loving. I’m so impressed with how our in home session pictures turned out, and I WILL CHERISH THESE PHOTOS ALWAYS.

ALEX IS BEYOND AMAZING! Not only we had so much fun at our photoshoots, our photos are dream! I’ve done quite a few photoshoots in my life and she is my absolute favorite photographer! the way she connects and guides my child during the shoot, the way she captures light and gives soul to the images! SHE IS WELL WORTH IT!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED ALEX! She was so creative with my bridals and engagements. Every photograph she took was perfect for Landon and I and really captured who we are as a couple. She made us feel comfortable during all of our photo sessions, which made taking photos the least stressful part of our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process she provided me with flexibility and support. Any couple would be lucky to work with her and will appreciate her organization and commitment to her clients. WE CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT HER.
Ashley
BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING! What a great experience. She made us feel so comfortable and explained things to help us relax so we looked like ourselves. Alex kept me sane by guiding me through all of my pre-wedding questions and helped me have the most perfect and smoothly running day. On the day of, she was incredible! Photographing hundreds of people is like herding cats and she took charge of all of them. Our pictures turned out so amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.

She was incredibly friendly and made both myself and my husband feel comfortable right away. She made sure to ask if there were any shots in particular we wanted and I really appreciated the way she listened to what we were wanting throughout the shoot. She also has such a great ability to pose us in ways that looked natural, but still so flattering. Her attention to detail was amazing. Best of all, she is an amazing hype girl and made us feel so confident. All of this was wonderful, but when I got the gallery I could not believe how STUNNING the photos were. EASILY MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PHOTOS OF MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF. I am so grateful we decided to book with Alex. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to capture authentic moments with their family, partner, or even just themselves!
