A milestone that deserves more than a yearbook pose
High School & College Seniors
The Experience
Look Like Yourself.
On Your Best Day.
Natural, easy, fun portraits that show seniors who they really are.
For the senior heading to college, and the senior heading to their first job.
Senior portraits are an exciting expression of yourself for the future ahead. For high school seniors heading to college, we can build in sports, music, or art themes. Add a best friend or a furry friend, or bring Mom, Dad, and siblings, it is a great time to update the family photos. And forget the stress over yearbook submissions, we make sure your images are ready to submit on time.
For college grads, we can add club themes, sports or music references, and headshots for job applications, a new role, or graduate-school applications. Sessions happen right here in Charlottesville and the surrounding area, at the spots that mean the most to you.
You do not need to be photogenic. You do not need modeling experience. You only need to show up. I will guide the rest.
Best for: Rising high school juniors and seniors, and college seniors.
Walk in nervous. Walk out feeling like your most confident self.

“My mom hyped this session up SO much I was sure I would be disappointed. I was not. We shot at a couple of spots, the light was perfect, and Arnel made me laugh enough that I actually look like myself in the photos, not like I am posing for the yearbook. My grandma cried when she saw the gallery. I cried when I saw the prints. So I guess we are all crying now.”

How It Works
From High Schooler to College Student.
From College Student to the Work Force.
No stiff poses, no guesswork, no pressure. From planning to final gallery, every part of the session is guided so you feel relaxed, prepared, and confident.
Guided from start to finish
Consultation
We talk through your goals, wardrobe, locations, colour palettes, and any sports or musical instruments you would like to highlight. By the time we are done, we have a solid plan for your session, so you feel prepared and at ease.
Your Session
We can do multiple locations, multiple outfits, and different looks to capture all the facets of who you are.
Reveal & Select
Immediately after your shoot, or within a week of it, we sit down and go through all the images, unretouched. Once you decide on the ones you love, we talk about the level of retouching you want. We also use this time to create albums, wall art, acrylic blocks, or mementos. Digital images are delivered within two weeks.

Senior Portraits
My mom hyped this session up SO much I was sure I would be disappointed. I was not. We shot at a couple of spots, the light was perfect, and Arnel made me laugh enough that I actually look like myself in the photos, not like I am posing for the yearbook. My grandma cried when she saw the final album, and so did I.
