the senior blog!

if you're looking at the senior blog, you're either a senior or a parent looking to book!

either way, incredibly happy you're here!

check out a few of my past seniors and their documentary + editorial styled senior portraits.

senior portraits are where I started my business. to be honest, it wasn’t senior photos then; it was just photos of my friends. and then their siblings. and then their friends. (then boom Ivylane)

Fun fact: two of my brides for ‘26 are some of my very first senior portraits.

I remember looking for a photographer and only seeing packages that were 25 photos — I so badly needed more.

I do my senior packages differently— you’re getting full sessions. personality-packed, filled with laughter, sunlight through the trees, rom-com senior portraits.

There’s a lot to pack in to your senior gallery. Your LinkedIn headshots, the ones you’ll share on instagram with your friends, the ones that remind your parents of you as a kid and the ones your grandparents keep on the mantle. I direct you through poses that will cover all the bases, and i promise it’s only the first two minutes that feel weird being in front of the camera.

I hate to brag, but getting someone to be themselves in front of a camera is kinda my secret talent. It’s a mixture of fun poses filled with movement and a few dad jokes.

this year I heard a mom say “I’ve never heard her say I love photos before!” I got to hear about your degrees, where you want to go to college. you’ve shared links to boots and dresses with me. I’ve taken your boyfriend’s portraits, then yours the very next day. your sister from four ago, who’s portraits I took, is now at your session and dming me about booking her college graduate portraits.

it’s been my favorite hobby for going on ten years. I just love when spring rolls around and it’s time to capture more portraits :)

enjoy a few of this years senior portraits !

Senior portraits take around 8-12 weeks to get delivered.

Something to keep in mind when booking is that I find August weather the past few years has been a little tricky (last year we had the 1000-year-flood and 100 degree weather often, crossing my fingers that doesn't happen again!) With that being said, please allot for a proper amount of time between the date of your session and full gallery delivery, keeping in mind you may have to reschedule due to weather. Delivery time is an estimated 8-12 weeks at the most.  This can vary depending on weather rescheduled, what part of the "shooting season" you book in, etc. 

Booking and details about packages, delivery times, etc. are all available on my website at www.ivylanephotocompany.com.
