Selecting your Senior Photographer

We all know there are more choices of photographers than events to be photographed.  Ever since digital cameras began showing up under every Christmas tree in the nation, photographers have been cropping up faster than weeds in a garden. But how do you select the perfect senior photographer for YOUR family?

There’s the usual criteria of location and cost. But most photographers advertise that they will come to you and many others are willing to photograph your child for next to nothing. So what else should you be considering?

How about the part of this process that you are actually paying for? The creativity! The amount of thought put into how to show your specific child’s inner spirit and vibrancy.  Anyone can pose your child with some sort of spectacular background and print out a picture. But you should want MORE! You should be wanting the photographer that cares about the individual client and the composure of YOUR senior photos.

We love taking senior PORTRAITS because it is an opportunity for us to PORTRAY your child’s spirit – honestly, at any age, not just as a senior. Talking with them and discovering their likes and dislikes… selecting the perfect location to showcase that… engaging him or her so the pictures show that spirit. That’s just the creativity at the shoot… then the magic continues.

Editing the pictures so they look the best in that captured moment (don’t want dark circles or that unexpected facial blemish keeping you from enjoying these pictures for years to come), adding some digital flair to a few shots or enhancing one or two to be fun, original works of art.

You should expect all this magic for your hard earned money. That’s why we consider ourselves one of the best senior photographers in Western Washington… because the love of the art will show in your portraits. Don’t settle for anything less. Let us capture your family portraits today!

From Maui...

We've been shooting in Maui now for 4 days and have completed 5 shoots. We've spent only about 30 minutes just enjoying the beautiful beach... It's been a lot of work but so incredibly wonderful! 

We've had the extreme pleasure of working with MUA, Ry-N and hair stylist, Keli Lau. Their work has held up beautifully through pouring down rain and hot, direct sun. They really know what they are doing! If you're looking for a great team, please look them up! We thank them for all their professionalism and valued service!
