The Sea of Sameness: Why Your Senior Photos Deserve More Than a Field.

Dec 22

Go ahead. Type "Senior Portraits Olympia" into Google.

You will see hundreds of talented photographers. You will see thousands of technically "correct" photos. But if I took a stack of those images, printed them out, and shuffled them like a deck of cards—could you tell me which photographer took which photo?

Probably not.

If you are okay with that scenario, you can stop reading right now. There are plenty of people who will take a perfectly suitable photo of you in a field of tall grass.

But "suitable" isn't what I do.

The trends have become stale. Faked golden hour. Artificial lens flares. A collage of warm tones and bright whites where the only variable changing is the face in the center. It’s not art; it’s a template.

Let’s capture who you actually are.

Are you the quiet observer with a darker, moody aesthetic? I can light that.

Are you an elite athlete who wants to capture the grit, the sweat, and the years of 5 a.m. wake-up calls? That is my wheelhouse.

Are you a style icon who treats the hallway like a runway, and you want images that feel like a high-fashion editorial? Let’s make it timeless.

Your senior year is the closing argument of your high school career. Don't settle for a template. If you are ready for high-impact imagery that actually reflects your life—not just the current trend—let's get to work.
