Southwest Missouri Senior Portrait Photographer

Senior Photography in Springfield, MO

Senior year is a milestone, but it’s also a season...confidence growing, identity forming, and the last chapter before everything changes. My Senior sessions are designed to capture more than a “pretty picture.” We create photographs that feel like YOU...polished, expressive, and timeless with just enough edge to make them unforgettable.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to be ...“photogenic.” You just need to show up. I’ll guide you through every step so you can relax, have fun, and walk away feeling seen.

The Experience

This is not a rushed, cookie-cutter session. We plan it with intention and photograph with purpose.

Expect:

• Guided posing that feels natural and flattering

• A calm, confident flow so you never feel awkward

• Variety...classic, editorial, playful, and bold

• A session that feels like an experience, not an appointment

The goal is simple: images that look like a magazine, but feel like your real story.

What’s Included

Every Senior session includes:

• Planning guidance so you know exactly what to do and what to bring

• Location suggestions based on your style (urban, nature, lakeside, field, clean + modern, etc.)

• Outfit flow guidance so each look feels different and intentional

• Posing direction from head to toe

• Professional retouching for a finished, polished look

If you want something extra...sports, hobbies, cap and gown, a bestie add-on, or a creative concept, we can build that in.

Styling Help (Outfits, Hair, and Details That Matter)

What you wear matters because it changes the entire mood of your images. I help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and feel like you.

A strong session usually includes a mix of:

• One classic look (timeless and clean)

• One elevated look (dressy, sleek, or editorial)

• One personal look (your real style—casual, layered, textured)

• Optional: a statement piece (hat, jacket, boots, bold color, etc.)

Tips that always win:

• Choose fitted pieces for at least one outfit (it photographs stronger)

• Bring variety in necklines, sleeves, and textures

• Avoid heavy logos and distracting graphics

• Plan shoes and accessories...don’t let them be an afterthought

If you want help narrowing outfits down, send photos and I’ll guide you. I'll even come dig through your closet if I have too!!
