SPRING Senior MINI SESSIONS

A senior mini session is a quick, 20-minute session that takes place between January 1 and June 15. These sessions are available for current high school seniors as well as college seniors celebrating their graduation year.

I suggest using this session to commemorate graduation in a meaningful way—by wearing a cap and gown, showcasing future college or career apparel, highlighting a sport or extracurricular, or (for college seniors) celebrating a major, internship, or next step. You may also incorporate a meaningful prop or talent, such as an instrument.

Session pricing includes a location within 5 miles of Scituate, MA. Locations beyond that radius may require a travel fee.

what is a senior mini session?

I can’t recommend enough having a senior mini-session toward the end of your senior year or college experience.  While most high school seniors take their portraits at the very beginning of senior year (or even before it starts), these sessions are designed for high school & college seniors to capture the moment right before what’s next.

Whether you’re about to graduate high school or wrapping up your final semester of college, this season is full of anticipation.  Graduation, that last summer before a new chapter, and the excitement of what’s ahead.  These portraits often capture the most authentic confidence and joy, when everything finally feels real.

A cap and gown can be way cuter than you'd think!!  Play with your gown, twirl around in it, throw your cap in the air... the sky's the limit!

Typically, mini essions are held at an outdoor location within 5 miles of Scituate, MA.  If you’d like your session to take place at your high school or college, I can absolutely come to you.  Travel fees can be viewed online here.  If you'd like an indoor session, we can use my beautiful, Instagram-worthy studio located in Scituate.  

Where do senior mini sessions take place?

Every senior receives my Senior Style Guide, filled with outfit inspiration, color guidance, and styling tips. We’ll also talk through outfit ideas during your pre-session consultation, where I’ll help you refine your looks and make sure everything feels cohesive and true to you. Together, we’ll make the planning process feel simple, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Yes! You may include up to 20 friends in your senior mini session for an additional fee. Friends can be added in the add-on section during the booking process.
Adding friends extends your session time and increases the number of images you may select for your final gallery.  Each friend may have individual portraits taken, and we can also capture group shots - it’s completely up to you!

Can I include friends in my mini session?

Many seniors choose to wear a cap and gown, future college or career apparel, a prom gown, or something that represents a major, sport, or personal milestone. I’m happy to help guide outfit choices so your photos feel timeless and true to you.
