New Bern Senior Photographer
The Senior Portrait Experience
VIEW The Gallery
The goal was never a folder of senior pictures sitting on your phone. We plan with the finished artwork in mind, creating portraits your family can actually see, enjoy, and remember this version of them by.
PHOTOS WITH SOMEWHERE TO LIVE
From wardrobe and locations to posing and all the little details in between, I guide you through it. Your senior gets to show up as themselves, and you get to enjoy the experience without wondering whether you planned it right.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT
Your senior is not dropped into the same poses at the same few spots. Their New Bern senior session is built around their personality, interests, style, and the places that actually feel like them.
MORE THAN A PRETTY LOCATION
Built around who they are. Not generic.
What Makes This Different
It’s about creating something meaningful that lives beyond your phone.
This isn’t just about senior photos.
CELEBRATE WHO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW
This season passes faster than it feels like it should. One moment they’re starting high school, and before you know it, they’re preparing to leave home.
Your senior session is equally designed to capture their personality, confidence, and individuality, creating images that reflect who they are in this moment.
Those images then become beautiful artwork your family will enjoy long after graduation day.
I've had the privilege of celebrating this milestone with seniors from New Bern, Havelock, Morehead City, Greenville, Jacksonville, and communities throughout Eastern North Carolina. While every senior's story is unique, each session is designed to capture who they are in this moment and preserve it through artwork that can be enjoyed for generations.
Your NEW BERN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Process
1. discovery call
We begin with a quick call to understand your senior’s vision, answer your questions, and make sure we’re creating an experience that feels aligned from the very beginning.
Together, we plan outfits, locations, and the overall look of the session so everything feels prepared and effortless on session day. During this consultation, we also reserve your session date.
2. Planning & Design Consultation
3. Session Day
I guide your senior through posing and movement so they feel confident and comfortable. We incorporate your senior’s interests, hobbies, and personal style to create a session experience that feels authentic to them, resulting in images that celebrate and capture the story of their senior year.
4. Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment
Seeing your senior’s finished images for the first time is one of the best parts. Together, we’ll choose favorites and design artwork and albums to celebrate this exciting season.
5. Artwork Delivery
Your finished artwork is personally delivered and ready to enjoy so this once-in-a-lifetime season becomes part of your home.
The senior portraits we create together were never meant to live on a phone or disappear into a folder on your computer. They deserve to be seen, enjoyed, and remembered every day.
That's why every session is planned with your finished artwork in mind. Once you've seen your images, I'll personally help you design custom wall art, framed portraits, or heirloom albums that fit beautifully within your home and tell your family's story in a meaningful way.
Years from now, when graduation is a distant memory and life has moved into its next chapter, these pieces become more than photographs. They become daily reminders of who your senior was in this once in a lifetime season.
DESIGNED TO BE SEEN EVERY DAY
A limited number of sessions are accepted each season to allow for a fully guided and personalized experience.
Artwork + Investment
Senior sessions are thoughtfully guided to reflect each student's personality, style, and interests. Artwork is selected after your images are created so you only choose what feels most meaningful to your family.
Your senior portrait experience begins with a $187 creation fee, which reserves your session date and allows us to begin planning the locations, styling, and artwork that will bring your vision to life.
Artwork begins at $890. After your session, we'll help you design custom pieces that celebrate this once in a lifetime season and become part of your family's story for years to come.

She really captured his personality.
