Why I’m the Perfect Senior Photographer for You

Choosing your senior photographer is a big deal. As a Columbus senior photographer, I know that ou want someone who knows how to make you look your best and feel confident, but also someone who listens to what you want. That’s where I come in. I specialize in making sure your senior session is all about you—your style, your vibe, and your personality. Here’s how I make it happen:

1. I Find the Best Light So You Shine

Lighting can make or break a photo—and I don’t leave it to chance. I scout locations ahead of time and schedule sessions to take advantage of the golden hour (that dreamy, glowy light right before sunset). I use natural light to highlight your features, your outfit, and your style so you look amazing without harsh shadows or washed-out tones. Your skin glows, your eyes sparkle, and you get that effortlessly radiant look everyone wants.

I have several locations that I like to use, and I tell you all of them after we book our session. We might shoot at Inniswood Metro Gardens, a favorite spot for soft backgrounds and golden light. Learn more about the park here.

2. I Help You Pose Naturally—By Showing, Not Just Telling

It can be awkward to hear “just act natural” when you’re in front of a camera. That’s why I show you how to pose instead of just telling you. I’ll guide you with quick demos, subtle adjustments, and real-time feedback so you know exactly what to do with your hands, where to look, and how to stand. The result? Natural, relaxed poses that feel like you, not like a stiff version of yourself.

3. I Ask the Right Questions—So These Photos Reflect YOU

This is your moment—your style, your vibe, your story. Before and during your session, I ask questions to get to know you: What kind of photos are you dreaming of? Are you going for timeless and elegant or fun and vibrant? What’s your favorite side? What do you want to remember about this season of your life? Your answers shape the entire experience. This isn’t about forcing a style on you—it’s about creating senior photos that reflect who you are right now.
