SENIORS

Locations, adventure and all the best light! Senior portraits can be an outdoor excursion into the heart of McCall’s mountains and lake vistas.

My portrait sessions offer a striking blend of natural beauty combined with your own personal expression. I especially love when your senior photos show layers of landscape depth while leaving you with a sense of adventure to remember the time and place you are in right now. McCall has plenty of sweeping views and I love to plan my sessions around showcasing both you and that landscape in the best soft evening light from golden hour.

For seniors ready to make a bold statement, an adventure in McCall’s outdoors and vibrant changing seasonal colors can deliver an unforgettable setting that transforms traditional portraits into timeless works of art.
