High School & College Seniors 2027... What part of senior year do you wish you could keep forever? ✨

Maybe it's the sport you've dedicated years to. The activity you love. The friendships you've built. The places where you've spent countless hours becoming the person you are today.

Right now, it probably feels like these days will last forever. But one day, they'll be the memories you wish you could revisit.

That is why senior portraits matter.

Not just because you're graduating, but because this season of life deserves to be remembered. Because who you are right now is worth celebrating. Because years from now, these photographs will bring you back to a time that passed far too quickly.

Whether you're a swimmer, an athlete, an artist, a musician, or simply excited for what comes next, your senior portrait session should tell your story.

We're now booking High School & College Senior Portrait Sessions for the Class of 2027. 🎓

Contact our studio to reserve your session. Link in bio.

You think you'll remember them exactly as they are today. 🤍

The silly faces. The endless laughter. The way they make each other smile without even trying. 😊

Right now, it feels like they'll always be this little. Like there will always be more time. But one day, you'll look up and realize they're growing up. The little faces you kissed goodnight have changed. The season you were living has quietly passed. ✨

And you'll wonder how it all happened so fast. Not because you forgot. But because you never realized how quickly childhood would slip through your hands.

If there's one thing I hear from parents again and again, it's this:

"I wish I had taken more photos."

"I wish I had documented more."

"I wish I had preserved more of those years."

Because when the toys are put away, the shoes by the door get bigger, and the house becomes a little quieter, these moments become priceless.

The truth is, we never know we're in the middle of the good old days while we're living them.

Preserve this chapter while you're living it. If you've been thinking about family portraits, visit the link in bio to begin your portrait experience.

Caps, gowns, camera gear, and a lot of laughter behind the scenes while photographing the graduates, professors, and Board of Trustees at Maine College of Art & Design. 📷

One of the things I love most about photographing moments like these is watching people slowly relax into the moment. The laughter, conversations, and small in-between moments are often the parts that feel the most meaningful later on.

My role is never just to take photographs. It’s to create space for people to feel comfortable, connected, and genuinely themselves in front of the camera.

Whether working with schools, organizations, creative teams, or businesses, thoughtful imagery has the ability to tell a story while preserving the feeling behind it.

Looking for imagery that feels honest, connected, and true to the people behind it? I’d love to hear more about your story. Link in bio.

Some moments carry years within them. 🎓

Graduation is never only about one day. It reflects the work, growth, creativity, challenges, and relationships that quietly shaped the journey leading here.

For the past 7 years, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph Maine College of Art & Design and document the people, stories, and moments that make this season so meaningful each year. Every class, every community, and every gathering brings its own story.

What continues to stay with me is the reminder that photographs often become more meaningful with time. They hold the people, relationships, and moments we one day wish we could revisit. 🤍

If your school, organization, or community has a story you want to preserve and share, I would love to hear more about it. Link in bio.

Final day at Cumberland Club for Portland Business Builders BNI - Portland, ME USA so we decided to commemorate the moment with a group photo. I am in the room - just behind the lens.

Just a little glimpse into what I do. ✨

Senior year has a way of moving quickly. Between classes, activities, friendships, and plans for what comes next, this season often passes faster than expected.

Your story is made up of more than photographs. It lives in the people you met, the places you spent your time, the experiences that shaped you, and the moments that made this season uniquely yours. 🤍

Senior portraits are about preserving those pieces of your story in a way that feels meaningful and true to you.

Class of 2027, now is a wonderful time to begin thinking about the story you want your senior portraits to tell. Having time allows the experience to feel personal and uniquely yours.

We’d love to hear your story. Link in bio.

Hearing how a session feels for clients is one of the most meaningful parts of this work.

“Excellent from start to finish. Beautiful photographs with a clear understanding of our needs. Received products beyond our expectations. Highly recommend.” — S. Conroy

What stands out most is not just the final images, but the experience along the way, taking time to understand what matters to each family, each person, and each story before the camera even comes out.

That is what makes the final portraits feel personal and lasting.

Family Portraits | Stories Meant to Live Beyond the Moment

☀️ With summer just around the corner, many families are planning reunions, long weekends at camp, grandparents visiting, and time together that does not happen every day.

Those moments often pass by faster than we realize, and before long, everyone is back home saying, “I wish we had taken a family photo.”

Family portraits become more than something saved on a phone. They become part of your home and your story, something you can enjoy for years to come.

What family memory would you want to see on your walls years from now? 🖼️

If your family plans to spend time together this summer, this could be a meaningful season to preserve the people and moments that matter most. We’d love to connect with you. Link in bio.
