About Your Senior Session

Senior year is a milestone worth celebrating. I love helping families kick off this season with a portrait session that reflects who your Senior is right now—and who they’re becoming.

Each session is a thoughtful balance of gentle guidance and space to simply be themselves. Jess creates a relaxed, encouraging environment where personalities shine and confidence grows naturally.

To keep things stress-free, you’ll receive a Senior Prep Guide along with access to my exclusive Senior Styling Catalog, designed to take the overwhelm out of planning so your Senior can focus on showing up and enjoying the experience.

Come as you are. Let’s have some fun and create portraits that feel true to this moment.

“Jess is unbelievable! She took the senior portraits for both of my kids and I was not only happy with the pictures, but I was also so impressed with the way she made both of their personalities shine during the photo shoot. She asked for their interests and researched locations that totally fit their vibe. Jess even played the music they love at the shoot!! I would totally recommend her to anyone who wants an amazing experience along with beautiful pictures!!!!
