Stressed about Senior pics in the Rolesville area?

I got you.

I live in the Rolesville area, and As a parent of teens myself, this season of life can be hard. Daunting. Stressful. Sometimes kids want pics. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes, it's easier to just let it go. even if you really REALLY want them!

We have school schedules, work schedules, sports schedules, clubs, school visits, physicals, all the things! And that's just for our kids... what about work? Cleaning the house? Making memories? Getting them cars and school supplies and UGH..... the list can go on and on and on. And sometimes.... photos just go by the wayside.

My boys are 16 and 14. One is just starting at Rolesville high school this year, which is mind blowing. One is starting his junior year and I'm already having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact he's almost a senior.


Senior year of high school. How did we get here?


But I got you! At least... when it comes to photos ;)

The first stressful thing? When to do them!


Honestly... it's really whenever you want! If your kiddo wants a fall feel or maybe plays a fall sport that you want documented, a fall session may be perfect for you. Some schools require their senior picture be taken in the fall for yearbook requirements. But the fall always feels like the perfect back to school time to get some pics in.

If you're really wanting a more green and garden vibe, maybe the spring is best! Or maybe your kiddo plays a spring sport or has done something amazing at school over the year that you want documented. Perhaps you want pics in their cap and gown. Or maybe they're going to a school in the new year and they have a t-shirt they want to wear!


Maybe you want to do a session in both seasons?? That's fine, too!

Here's the next question I get....


What kind of photo session works best for this kind of thing???


Well, you're in luck. I have 3 specific types of sessions depending on what you or your kiddo want! Everyone is different... this way, you pick what works best for you.

First up... mini sessions.


Perfect for kiddos who hate pictures. Or are really busy.


20-30 minutes, 5 digitals you choose out of the whole gallery. Might even be able to squeeze in an outfit change if we're lucky. $400 +tax.

The most popular? That's our full session.


45 minutes, maybe more, maybe less, depending on how we're feeling. The perfect amount of time to ease into pictures, feel comfortable, and own it. Especially great if you want to change your outfit and roam around your location for some different looks.


45 minutes-ish, 15 digitals you choose, lots of laughter. This one is $600 +tax.

The last session is for those who absolutely looooooove getting their pictures taken! Or, they want to go all over the place... maybe pics at school. Then a park. Or maybe downtown. Either way, lots of different outfits with lots of different places for a big variety of awesomeness.


This one is about 90 - 120 minutes, comes with 25 digitals, and is $850 +tax.


This one is also perfect if you want to squeeze in some family pics as well!

Another stressful thing for people? Locations.


Friend, I got you. I have SOOOOOOO many Beautiful spots I like to shoot at! BuT the most important thing is what you and your kiddo resonate with.


Like the woods? I got you.

Want to be at the school theater? I also got you.

Favorite aisle in Target? Yup, done that.


Whatever is fitting for your kiddo is what we'll do. I can help, I promise.

The most important thing for me?


Being real. Being authentic. Being stress-free.


And making sure these pictures actually look like your kid.


And having fun!!!!






If you want some Wake Forest or Rolesville senior pics... I got you.
