Senior photos in Naperville.

Senior year comes around once, and the photographs from it get looked at for a very long time. I have been photographing this town’s families since 2010. The session is relaxed, outdoors when the season allows, and built around who your kid is right now rather than who a school portrait needs them to be.

This is the last year they live at home.

Nobody says it out loud during senior year, but everybody is thinking it. The photographs are for you at least as much as they are for them, and I make them with that in mind: a few photos that look like a senior portrait is supposed to look, and a lot more that look like your kid on a good afternoon.

Relaxed, outdoors, and they will probably enjoy it.

Before.: You tell me about your senior: what they are into, where they feel like themselves, what they want to wear, and whether they would rather this whole thing did not happen. I plan a location and a time of day around the light and around them.
The day.: We meet in or around Naperville. Downtown, the Riverwalk, a field, a place that means something to them. Two or three outfits is plenty. I shoot until we have it, and I stop before it stops being fun.
After.: I edit every photo myself and deliver the finished gallery. Prints follow the gallery.

Three ways to book. The price is the price.

Every session includes the complete edited gallery, the full-resolution files with a print release, and 25 of my favorite photos as 5x7 prints mailed to you. No weekend fee, no reveal appointment. Travel is included within 25 miles of downtown Naperville; past that it is a flat $100.

If you want prints, a second album, or something for the wall after you see the gallery, you can order them right from it. Nothing is required, and nobody will call you about it.

Ask about any session above and I will confirm.
