THE EXPERIENCE
NOT YOUR AVERAGE
senior session
and that's kind of the point
your session with me!
the difference is the intentionality
- We plan your locations and outfits together
- Your own Senior HQ to help you prep
- I guide every pose (and keep you laughing)
- We see your images together, in person
You've seen senior photos that look like everyone else's. Same poses, same spots, same filter. This is different. Every part of your session is planned around who you are right now.
So what makes it different?
From our first chat to the day your album arrives, here's exactly what to expect. No guessing, no overwhelm.
HOW IT ALL WORKS
01. let's plan
03. the reveal
02. your session
04. made to hold
We sit down to choose your locations, talk through outfits, and plan the little details. Your Senior HQ covers the rest.
No link dropped in your inbox to figure out alone. We see your images together, in person, and choose your favorites.
Bring your whole personality. Your sport, your car, your best friend. I guide every pose, so you never wonder what to do with your hands.
Your album and wall art are designed, printed and delivered to you. Real, tangible pieces you'll keep long after graduation.
No modeling experience needed. I guide every pose, tell you exactly what to do with your hands, and keep you laughing the whole time. Parents are always welcome to come along.
Plan on 4 to 5 outfits so your gallery has variety. Options are always better than wishing you'd packed that one jacket. Before your session, I'll text you exactly where to meet. All you have to do is show up as you.
THE SESSION IS THE FUN PART.
We plan your outfits and locations together, and your Senior HQ walks you through what to wear, how to get ready, and what to bring. If it's part of your story, your sport, your music, your car, it belongs in your photos.
Every image is hand edited to bring out your natural glow. No heavy filters and no overdone Photoshop. Just the best version of you, the way the people who love you already see you.
STYLED, PLANNED AND TRUE TO YOU.
We sit down together, see your images for the first time, and turn your favorites into art.

KIND WORDS
YOUR INVESTMENT
FAqs as an inland empire senior Photographer
Q: Do you photograph senior portraits in Yucaipa, CA?
A: Yes! I'm a senior photographer based in Yucaipa, and my studio is just down the road in Calimesa. I photograph seniors all over the Inland Empire, including Redlands, Beaumont, Banning and Calimesa. If you're within about 30 minutes of Yucaipa, you're in my backyard.
Q: When should I book my senior pictures in Yucaipa?
A: Most of my seniors book between the spring of junior year and early fall of senior year. Fall golden hour fills up fast, so booking a few months ahead gives you the best pick of dates and locations. It's never too late, though. If graduation is around the corner, reach out and we'll make it work.
Q: What should I wear for senior pictures in the Inland Empire?
A: Wear what feels like you, just a little elevated. Plan on 4 to 5 outfits with a mix of casual, dressed up, and one that's a little bolder. We plan your outfits together before your session, and your Senior HQ has style tips to make it easy. Inland Empire summers are hot, so we'll also plan around the heat.
Q: How many outfits and locations are included in a senior session?
A: Plan on 4 to 5 outfits. That gives your gallery a mix of looks, and options are always better than wishing you'd packed that one jacket. We choose your locations together when we plan your session, based on your style and the vibe you want.
Q: Where are the best places for senior pictures in Yucaipa and Redlands?
A: It depends on your style! Some seniors love open fields and golden hills. Others want the downtown Redlands look with brick walls and city streets, or the apple orchard feel of Oak Glen. Don't know where you want to go? That's what I'm here for. I'll suggest spots that fit your outfits and personality, then text you the exact meeting spot before your session.
Q: What time do senior photo sessions start?
A: Most sessions are scheduled for golden hour, about 1 to 2 hours before sunset. That soft, warm light is the most flattering and gives you that dreamy glow. Start times shift through the year as sunset moves earlier or later.
Q: Is hair and makeup included in my senior session?
A: Hair and makeup aren't included, but they're worth it for senior photos. Having them done professionally helps you feel confident and camera ready from the very first shot.
Q: Can my parents or friends come to my senior session?
A: Absolutely. Parents are always welcome, and lots of moms love watching their senior light up in front of the camera. Bringing a best friend can help you relax too, and it's a great chance to grab a few photos together.
Q: How much do senior pictures cost in Yucaipa?
A: Senior collections start at $750. Every collection includes pieces you can actually hold, like albums and wall art, along with your digital images. Payment plans are available through Affirm, Afterpay, PayPal Credit and an in-house plan, so you can choose what you love without the stress.
Q: Do I get my digital images?
A: Yes! Digital images are included in every collection. How many depends on the collection you choose. They're delivered about 1 to 2 weeks after you choose your favorites, and albums and wall art arrive about 4 to 6 weeks after that.
Q: What happens if it rains or I get sick?
A: Life happens! If the weather doesn't cooperate or you're not feeling well, we'll reschedule for the next available date that works for both of us.
Q: What makes your senior experience different from other photographers in the Inland Empire?
A: A lot of photographers show up, take photos and send a download link. I guide you through every step: planning your outfits, choosing your locations, posing you through the whole session and sitting down with you in person to choose your favorites. You leave with more than files on your phone. You leave with an album and art you'll keep for years. The difference is the intentionality.
