    Level Up Your Senior Portraits

    “He involved (my kids) in selecting the location and discussed with them ideas about their outfits. I trusted PJ’s recommendations – and of course they listened to him more than me. Their smiles were natural, the lighting was exquisite and the portraits were all I could have hoped for”

    “There is no denying PJ is very talented at photography – just glance at his gallery to see his great work. What you don’t see is how PJ works with people. He has a talent for quickly putting people at ease, getting them to open up and relax to get great shots.”

    “We were blown away by the genuine smiles and touching moments captured by his lenses. He connected easily with the kids and put this stressed-out mom at ease.”

    All about your senior portrait experience

    Here's what working with me looks like
    • #1
      Book Your Session Online
      • Choose a time and date right on my online calendar. I schedule most senior portrait timeslots for that soft "golden hour" lighting an hour or so before sunset. But just ask if you'd like to aim for a different time of day.
    • #2
      Pick a Location On Purpose
      • Maybe you've got a location in mind, like at the high school stadium or at your favorite lake. Or maybe you need some ideas. Whatever you're thinking, a quick phone call can help us sort out just where to make the magic happen. I love trying new spots!
    • #3
      Capture Your Portraits
      • Make the most of your session by showing up on time. When we meet up, I'll start by giving you some pointers for posing and keeping it natural in front of the camera. Then we'll walk around to explore your location so we can nail lots of different looks.
    • #4
      Get Your Images and Cheer
      • Within about a week of your session, I'll send you a link to an online gallery where you can view and download your images. This is your queue to start the happy dance. It's also a great time to choose which 5 photos you'd like retouched—removing stray hairs, erasing blemishes, and eliminating distractions in the background
    • #5
      Let Your Images Live in Print
      • Your senior photos will great on screen, but they'll really shine when they're hanging on your wall or printed in a custom album book. You can order high-end prints, canvases, or even wood prints directly from your online gallery. Or just ask if you'd like me to design an album book for you.
