Welcome class of 2024! I’m Christina, a nationally published and award winning Massachusetts senior photographer who specializes in taking senior pictures. My photos are light-filled, glowy, and full of joy! I photograph senior pictures all over the South Shore of Massachusetts and New England. It is one my absolute favorite parts of my job. If you are ready to book a photographer for your senior pictures, I’d be so excited to be considered! Please check out my senior portrait session page here for more information on how to hire me as your photographer and what to expect.
YOUR Massachusetts SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER
As I’m sure you can see by the beauty of the locations that I take my photos at, taking senior pictures is THE best job ever, I love it! I have met so many wonderful seniors and their families over the years and I consider my senior shoots to be time that I am not only working, but chatting and laughing with new friends!

Have fun checking out a few gorgeous senior sessions I have been honored to capture in the past few years! I hope these will give you some ideas, and get you even more excited for your own senior pictures! Hopefully you can envision yourself in these images, and imagine what your senior portraits will look like if you decide to book me as your photographer! I am so excited to hear from you!! Below are a selection of my favorite senior photographs from around the South Shore, all taken in the towns of Scituate, Hingham, Marshfield, Norwell, Plymouth, Kingston, Duxbury, Cohasset, and on Cape Cod.
Would you like to see some examples of senior portraits I've taken?
Are you unsure of the location you would like to use for your senior pictures? As an experienced Massachusetts senior photographer I will happily assist you in choosing a location perfect for you and customized to you! Whether you are looking at the beautiful beaches of Scituate or Marshfield, a spectacular flower field in Norwell, the golden fields of the Hingham farms, or the adorable downtown areas of Plymouth and Cohasset- I know all the best spots!
How to choose a location for
your senior portraits
To be honest, you can take your senior pictures at any time of year! If you need a senior portrait for your yearbook, you most likely will need to have your pictures taken in the spring or summer. If you don’t need a picture from your session for the yearbook, then the sky’s the limit, timing-wise! As you can see, some of my seniors have even chosen to have their pictures taken with a beautiful snowy backdrop! In my experience, most seniors choose to do their senior pictures in the months of July, August, September, and October.

After your session, I go through all of your images and select the best 80-120 photos to present to you as proofs in an online gallery. Your proofs will all have a "soft edit" but will not be fully retouched. From your proof gallery, you may choose your favorite 20-35 photos (depending on the package you select) and I will carefully edit and lightly digitally retouch your favorites with all the latest high-end software. The reason I do it this way is that I have come to realize that MY favorite photos of you may drastically differ from your favorites!! Your retouched senior pictures, all edited in my light and natural photography style, will be uploaded to a private online gallery where you can easily download your high-resolution digital photographs to post, print, and order products such as canvases, photo books, and beautiful wooden keepsake boxes!

With six years experience taking senior pictures, I will thoroughly prepare you for your session. I will provide you with a style guide to give you tips on what colors photograph beautifully, what to bring to your session, and tips on choosing a location. We will meet in person or talk over the phone if you would like an optional styling consultation with me. I will recommend my very favorite hair and makeup artists in the area, and check in with you about your outfit choices about two weeks prior to the date of your senior pictures.
2. working with an experienced photographer
Many of my seniors arrive at their session a little nervous, which is totally normal! But have no fear, I am highly trained in posing you to look your absolute best. I will give you guidance throughout our entire shoot, trust me, you will feel like a model by the time we are 15 minutes into your session! We will not only take posed, “looking at the camera shots,” we will also capture many beautiful candid moments. I often am asked “are the seniors in your photos actually models?” And the answer is NO! They are just regular seniors like you who are being directed by me throughout their shoot!
