Trenton's Senior Portrait Session

A timeless senior portrait session in the heart of Willits.

Photographed in my hometown of Willits, this senior session was especially meaningful because Trenton is my stepson. We chose a classic country setting that reflected his personality, with a rustic red barn, beautiful natural light, and relaxed posing creating timeless portraits.

Senior portraits are about more than graduation—they capture who you are at this exciting chapter in life and preserve the personality, confidence, and memories of this special time. Being able to photograph Trenton during this important milestone made this session one I’ll always treasure, creating images that will be cherished by our family for generations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I schedule my senior photography session?

The best time to schedule your senior photography session is August, September, or October. These months give you plenty of time to plan your session, choose your favorite images, and have your senior portrait ready for the yearbook.

Many schools have a December 31 deadline for submitting senior portraits, so I recommend booking early in the school year whenever possible. Scheduling between August and October allows enough time for your session, editing, and yearbook submission without feeling rushed.

That said, senior sessions are available year-round! If you prefer a winter, spring, or summer session, we can choose a date and location that fits your vision. If you’re planning to use your portraits for the yearbook, just be sure to check your school’s submission deadline so we can plan accordingly.

Where do senior sessions take place?

Your session can take place at a location that reflects your personality and interests. From beautiful outdoor settings and country landscapes to coastal locations and meaningful places around Mendocino County, I’ll help you choose a setting that feels like you.

What should I wear for my senior session?

I recommend bringing a few different outfits so we can create a variety of looks. Choose clothing that makes you feel confident and comfortable and reflects your personal style. I’ll be happy to provide wardrobe guidance before your session.

What if I’m nervous or uncomfortable in front of the camera?

You don’t need to know how to pose! I’ll guide you throughout the session with natural posing and simple direction while also giving you plenty of opportunities to relax and be yourself. My goal is for your session to feel fun, comfortable, and natural.

Can my family, friends, or pets be included?

Absolutely! Your senior session is about celebrating you, but including the people and pets who are important to you can make your portraits even more meaningful. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan your session accordingly.

How do I book my senior photography session?

The first step is to contact me or schedule a free consultation. We’ll talk about your ideas, locations, outfits, and the kind of portraits you’d like to create. From there, I’ll help you plan a personalized senior experience that celebrates this exciting chapter in your life.
