Senior Portraits at McDonogh School | Maryland Senior Photographer
Senior year is one of those rare seasons that feels both exciting and fleeting — full of change, anticipation, and possibility. Between final games, college applications, and graduation countdowns, it can fly by faster than you expect.
That’s why your senior portraits matter — they give you a chance to pause and celebrate who you are right now.
As a Maryland senior portrait photographer serving Howard County, Ellicott City, Columbia, and surrounding areas, my goal is simple: to capture you exactly as you are — relaxed, confident, and real.
An Evening at McDonogh
This session took place at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, a gorgeous backdrop just a short drive from Howard County. The golden morning light, tree-lined paths, and open fields created a calm setting — perfect for storytelling portraits.
Between outfit changes and laughter about senior year plans, we captured the in-between moments — the soft smiles, the quiet confidence, the genuine laughter that appears when you forget there’s a camera nearby.
That’s what I love most — not just taking pictures, but documenting a feeling.
What to Expect During Your Senior Session
Whether we’re at McDonogh, downtown Ellicott City, or a quiet park in Columbia, Maryland, every session is built around comfort and connection.
Here’s what you can expect:
Pre-session consult: Plan your outfits, location, and style so everything feels intentional.
Guided posing: Simple, natural prompts that help you look and feel your best.
Multiple outfit changes: So we can showcase every side of your personality.
High-resolution images: Perfect for graduation announcements, wall art, or gifts.
A gallery that tells your story: Real, timeless portraits that reflect who you are.
You don’t have to perform for the camera — just show up as yourself.
Real, Timeless, and True to You
If you’ve ever worried about feeling awkward in photos — don’t. Most seniors tell me they forget about the camera within minutes.
My Howard County senior portrait sessions are built around authenticity over perfection, simplicity over trends, and connection over posing.
These images will live long after graduation — a reminder of your confidence, your growth, and this fleeting but beautiful time in your life.
