Own the Moment.
Senior portraits shouldn’t feel stiff or overly posed. They should feel like them. Relaxed, confident, and completely at ease.
From downtown New Bern to the waterfront at golden hour, this session captures the moments when they stop thinking about the camera and just show up as themselves. The way you know them every day.

THIS MOMENT. NEXT CHAPTER.
Senior year lives in that in between. Still at home, but already becoming who they are going to be.
This session holds onto that version of them. The one you see every day right now. Before everything starts to change and this season becomes something you look back on.

STEADY. STRONG. READY.
This is not about posing perfectly. It is about seeing them as they are. Grounded, confident, and growing into themselves.
These are the kinds of images that feel natural now, but mean even more as they step into what comes next.

creative. Grounded.
Senior year is where personality really starts to show. What they love, how they think, who they are becoming.
This session is designed to reflect that honestly without forcing it, so what you see in these images actually feels like them.

This isn’t just about senior photos.
It’s about creating something meaningful that lives beyond your phone.
Your NEW BERN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY
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.
Based in New Bern and serving families throughout Eastern North Carolina, each session is designed around your senior’s style and the locations that feel most like them.
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.
CELEBRATE WHO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW
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.

2. Planning & Design Consultation
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.
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.
3. Session Day
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.
4. Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment
Your finished artwork is personally delivered and ready to enjoy so this once-in-a-lifetime season becomes part of your home.
5. Artwork Delivery
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 meaningful to your family.
Many families choose to invest around $2,500 to $4,000, creating pieces that celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime season and become part of the story unfolding within your home.
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 their vision to life.
