Timeless Portraits

We create unique, editorial portraits that capture your senior exactly as they are right now — confident, becoming, fully themselves.

"Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."— Oscar Wilde

The Experience

What to expect from a session with us.

01

Inquire & Book

Tell us about your senior. We'll walk you through scheduling, package selection, and everything you need to feel ready. Sessions book as early as March for the following class — we recommend scheduling at least three weeks before your school's yearbook deadline.

02

Plan the Session

We'll help you think through wardrobe, location, and timing. Most sessions begin in our Blossom Street studio and move to a nearby outdoor setting for variety. Bring two outfits — one casual, one dressed up — and leave the rest to us.

03

The Shoot

One hour, two looks, natural light, and a relaxed pace. We photograph seniors to look like themselves — real laughs, quiet moments, a little editorial polish. No awkward posing, no stiff yearbook stares.

04

The Reveal

After your session, you'll be able to view all of your images in your personal online gallery. Here you can make your favorite selections so we can do final editing before yearbook submissions and prints.

05

The Delivery

We handle the yearbook submission, any ad images, and print production. Prints are crafted to archival standards and typically take about thirty days once yearbook deadlines are behind us. Images you're proud to hang — not just scroll past.

Ready When You Are

Every session is personal. Tell us what matters to your senior — favorite places, music, the things they'll miss about this year — and we'll design the shoot around them.

Meet Your Photographers

The artists behind the lens.

Sarah Austin, senior portrait photographer at Chris Bailey Photography

Sarah Austin

Senior Portrait Photographer

Attentive, intuitive, and deeply people-centered, Sarah Austin approaches photography with curiosity, care, and a belief that every meaningful image begins with trust. With a calm presence and an instinct for noticing the subtle moments that matter most, she creates photographs that feel natural, joyful, and enduring.

"I like to keep it simple and lighthearted when I'm photographing seniors. My favorite portraits come from the in-between moments — the times when you forget you have a camera in front of you. That's when I can capture who you really are."

Candace Moore, senior portrait photographer at Chris Bailey Photography

Candace Moore

Senior Portrait Photographer

Whether capturing a quiet exchange, an editorial-inspired vignette, or the layered details of a celebration, Candace brings a painterly sensibility to every frame. For her, photography is less about posed perfection than about creating evocative imagery that honors its subject, tells a story, and captures emotion with honesty and grace.

Frequently Asked

Before you book.

When should we schedule our session?
We book sessions as early as March for the following class. To get the best light, we prefer afternoon sessions starting at 3pm. Plan to book at least three weeks before your school's yearbook portrait deadline.
How long does a session take?
About an hour, depending on the number of outfits, locations, and how much variety you're after.
What happens after the shoot?
You'll receive an email inviting you to view your own personal online gallery. This gallery will have all of your images available to review. Please make your favorite selections and notify us once complete. We'll then begin post-production and yearbook submissions.
Can you match a sibling's senior portrait?
We'll do our best. We're not in the business of duplicating, but we know families want their portraits to feel cohesive — send us the reference image ahead of time and we'll work toward a matching feel.
How do we pay?
Packages can be paid online by credit card or by check (mailed or dropped off at the studio). Payment is due before your session.
When do we get our prints?
Yearbook submissions come first. Once those deadlines are met, print production takes about thirty days.
What should my senior wear?
Bring at least two outfits — one casual, one dressier. Jeans and a nice top, or shorts, work beautifully for the casual look. A dress or a jacket works for the dressier one. Avoid loud patterns; stick to colors and textures that feel like your senior. We have a dressing room at the studio for quick changes.
