Senior & Graduate Portraits | Eugene Senior Photographer

Graduating—whether from high school or college—is such an exciting milestone. It’s a time of change, new beginnings, and celebrating everything you’ve accomplished along the way. Senior and grad portraits are more than just photos; they’re a chance to capture your personality, your passions, and this unforgettable season of life.

As a Eugene photographer and the Eugene senior photographer, I make sure every session feels true to you. From the location to the props, outfits, and even who you bring along, your session should reflect your story.

Choosing the Perfect Location

One of the first things I help my seniors and grads with is finding the right backdrop. Do you want:

• Urban vibes in downtown Eugene, with murals, brick, and a little edge?

• Nature and parks with greenery, open fields, or tree-lined trails?

• Modern architecture or quiet nooks around town that feel fresh and stylish?

Your location helps set the tone of your session, and I’ll guide you through options that fit your style best.

Bringing Props That Tell Your Story

Your senior or grad portraits should show the world who you are. That’s why I encourage bringing meaningful items, like:

• Sports equipment (soccer ball, basketball, track shoes)

• Musical instruments or art supplies

• Books that shaped you

• Graduation cap and gown

• Anything that highlights your passions and accomplishments

• Cool cars/trucks/skateboards

These little details make your portraits uniquely yours.

Friends, Family & Furry Companions

Your graduation journey isn’t something you’ve done alone. If you’d like, I encourage bringing someone important to you to be part of your session. This could be:

• A best friend or spouse

• A parent or sibling

• Your family dog 🐾

These special cameos often lead to some of the most heartfelt and memorable portraits.

Outfits That Feel Like You

Outfits are always a big question—but here’s my simple rule: wear what makes you feel like yourself. I’ll help guide you if you’d like input, but I never force a formula. Whether that’s jeans and sneakers, a dress, your favorite team gear, or something more formal—it’s about what makes you feel confident and authentic. (Well… and what Mom wants too of course!)

Why Your Session Should Feel Fun and Stress-Free

This is a celebration, not a checklist. My goal is for you to feel relaxed, comfortable, and celebrated throughout the entire experience. We’ll laugh, explore, and create portraits that highlight your confidence and joy as you take this next step in life.

Your graduation only happens once—let’s capture it in a way that feels personal, vibrant, and true to you. From choosing the perfect Eugene location to incorporating your passions, people, and pets, I’ll help create portraits that you’ll love to look back on for years to come.
