Senior Portraits Investment
Real. Radiant. You.
Your senior year represents who you've become and the future that awaits. These portraits capture this significant milestone in images you and your family will love today and treasure for years to come.
This isn’t just a photo shoot. It’s a time to slow down and take it all in — the personality, the style, the edge of what's next. Whether we’re wandering the streets of downtown Charleston, exploring a quiet park, or chasing the light at the beach, your session will reflect who you are in this moment.
Each session includes an online gallery for easy downloading, sharing, and printing. You’ll also have access to a curated selection of professional print products, wall art, and keepsakes available through your gallery.
Many of my sessions are scheduled around golden hour — the soft, flattering light just after sunrise or before sunset. It’s the best time of day for capturing color, depth, and emotion in your images — especially if we’re ending at the beach.
Family is welcome to join at the end of your session — they’re a big part of your life and your story. I love including parents and siblings for a few final frames. It’s a special way to celebrate this milestone together and often the perfect time to update your family photo or capture an image for your holiday card.
Relaxed. Thoughtful. Creative.

Approximately three hours, allowing time to move between locations and change outfits throughout the session.

The Power of Print
Your gallery includes access to professional-quality prints, books, albums, and framed artwork, all produced by trusted labs and available to order directly through the gallery store.
While you're welcome to print through a lab of your choice, please note that I can’t guarantee the quality of prints made outside the online store.
The images we create together are meant to be enjoyed beyond the screen. Printing them brings your story to life in a tangible, lasting way.
Additional Customizations
Extra Coverage: Need more time beyond the Full Experience? Extend your session in 30-minute increments for additional outfit changes, extra locations, or a more relaxed pace. $100 per additional 30 minutes.
Add a Friend: Share your session and each senior still receives their own individual gallery, plus all of the group photos together.
Two seniors: $150 for additional senior
Three or more seniors: $125 per additional senior
For groups of three or more, the Full Experience session is recommended.
Limited Mini Sessions: I offer a limited number of mini sessions in the fall. Scheduled at specific times and locations, 15 minutes, and 10 digital images. They tend to book quickly. Reach out for upcoming dates and availability.
Payment Options
Sessions can be divided into two or three payments. Your first payment secures your date, and the full balance is on or before session date.
Amy is such a talented photographer and a pleasure to be around. She was flexible with my daughter and patient, and as a result she captured the most beautiful photos of our entire family. I highly recommend Amy!

As a mom of three—two girls and a boy—I’ve been through this exciting senior year three times! I know how important these photos are, not just for seniors but for parents too. I understand the mix of emotions, the milestones, and the little moments that make this time so special.
Amy was so helpful for Senior portraits… she listened to what our senior was looking for and helped her develop a plan for amazing photographs and Amy totally delivered that! I highly recommend her- her work speaks for itself - she is personable, she listened to our daughter - in Anna’s words “I had an amazing day”! Amy also took a few candid shots of myself with Anna and her sisters!
