Campbell says...
"I had a wonderful experience before, during, and after the shoot. The whole experience made me feel special and I am so happy with how the photos turned out. Working with Amy was so much fun and I really enjoyed working with her to come up with a plan. "
Maddie says...

QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED
When should I book my session?
The earlier, the better! I photograph a limited number of seniors each month, so booking early gives you the best choice of dates and plenty of time to plan your dream session.
Do you photograph senior guys too?
Absolutely! I’ve found that the guys typically feel more comfortable if we we incorporate something they enjoy - whether that's a sport, truck, hobby, or favorite location. They may come for their moms, but they almost always leave saying it was more fun than they expected.
Do you help me choose outfits and locations?
Yes! We'll plan everything together before your session. I'll help you choose outfits, locations, and all the little details so your photos feel cohesive, personal, and completely stress-free.
WHAT IF I'M AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
How long does a senior session last?
Most senior sessions last 2–3 hours, giving us plenty of time for multiple outfits, locations, and a relaxed pace. There's never any rush—we'll take our time creating a variety of images you'll love.
Perfect - you don't need any modeling experience! I'll guide you through every pose, expression, and movement so you'll never have to wonder what to do. Most seniors tell me they were nervous at first, but ended up having so much fun.
Let's chat!
We'll spend about 10–15 minutes talking through your vision, answering your questions, and finding the perfect session date. By the end of the call, you'll know exactly what comes next.
