- ALEXIS & TRACI (2020)

Ciera does such an incredible job of capturing senior’s personalities. Ciera makes each session super fun and builds confidence in the people being photographed which in turn produces beautiful portraits. She is willing to go above and beyond to meet special requests and has a great eye for style along with scouting beautiful scenery. We recommend Ciera for your next special occasion. Her skill, personality, and variety will far exceed your expectations!!

- BETH AND EMMA

Cannot say enough what a great experience we had working with Ciera! Leading up to picture day, she stayed in contact with us regularly, gave us great suggestions for locations, loaned us a dress from her customer closet to try-on, and was always very quick to respond to any question we had.... a true professional. On picture day, she watched the weather even more closely than we did, to make sure we had the perfect evening to capture Emma’s photos! She immediately put Emma at ease with her bubbly personality and unbridled enthusiasm for capturing her milestone photos. At each setting, she found the perfect spot and natural pose to capture Emma’s unique personality. You can see in her work and how she interacts with her Seniors just how much she truly cares about and wants to make each session special for them. She makes you feel like family. And the pictures… be still my heart. ❤️ They speak for themselves. Fantastic work!

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special moments, you could not choose a better one. Thank you Ciera and also your mom Vicki – you made Emma’s photo session truly special.

Just listen to what our Past seniors have had to say....

We want to make the process fun and sharing your images EASY on you.

That’s why all of my senior packages include access to an online digital gallery where you can easily download, share and print all of your high resolution digital files.

No hidden fees, no required purchase minimums and no secrets.

AND you can post a new #seniorsunday on Instagram each and every week!

We open up booking for senior portraits February 6th, 2023 for 2024 seniors. Photos by Ciera takes on limited seniors to ensure that each senior receives the attention necessary to tailor their session to their own personality and style! Unfortunately once all of our dates are booked, we are booked for the year. 

Through your online gallery, you are given print release rights to the digital images delivered. From there, you are able to download your digital images and order prints through our professional lab. The professional quality prints, canvases and products are all at a low cost to allow our seniors the opportunity to have lifelong keepsakes! You have the option to print your images elsewhere with the print release, however, we cannot guarantee the color and quality from any other lab. 

ABSOLUTELY!! We want you to share your photos - EVERYWHERE! Post your favorites every #SeniorSunday on Instagram, have Mom post on Facebook so they can brag about their beautiful child, etc. We just ask that you tag and/or mention us so your friends/family know who took the photos and hopefully book with us in the future! 

Yes! We highly recommend that you have one person come along to your session. We normally suggest that it is either Mom, Dad or one close friend. This year, we are limiting it to only one person to tag along per session.  

During the planning process, we send every senior a link to our personalized Style Guide. Here you will find tips on picking any amazing location that fits your vision, what types of clothing to wear, what colors look best on camera and all of the details to prepare for your session! For senior girls, we have a range of dresses/outfits for you to look through and borrow from our Photographer's Closet as well!

During the planning process, we send you a questionnaire that helps us narrow down what types of locations you are looking for. From there, we send you a list of suggestions for you to pick from (or we are always willing to visit a new spot too). With our Signature session, 2 locations are included in the session fee with an option to add one additional spot for a fee. With our Luxe session, we normally have time for 4 locations around town since we had additional time. Our location suggestions are normally multidimensional so it gives you a lot of variety in your photos! 

We have examples of each season above for you to decide which type of session you are looking for! All seniors will have the opportunity to join our complimentary fall session in October so they are able to have 3-5 individual images + additional friend/group photos taken if they attend - which is why we have only 1-2 full senior session dates available per year. 

Any senior who books prior to end of February will be invited to attend our complimentary senior sessions - we have one in May 2024 with your cap & gown! In addition to your full senior galleries, you will receive 3-5 individual digital images plus fun group shots and photos with friends from the event.  Our Cap & Gown date is TBD depending on when each school receives graduation attire. 

We watch the weather VERY closely leading up to all of our sessions - but weather can change fast! If it it scheduled to rain, we will be in contact with you. We normally wait to reschedule due to weather until the day of and keep 1-2 other date options available within that season for you.
