Capturing Your Milestone: The Unmatched Value of Professional Senior Portraits

Posted in Seniors

Welcome back!

It’s been a hot minute since my little corner of the internet has had any attention. The truth is, life gets in the way, and sharing all the amazing seniors I’ve been hanging out with has been on my to do list for longer than I will admit to. So when Jen from the Adobe Express team reached out to me and offered to inject some much needed life into my sadly neglected blog, I was thrilled to oblige. She perfectly explains why choosing a professional photographer who specializes in Senior Portraits is so crucial. Enjoy! (And I promise to come back soon and share more!)

    Meet Abby | Siesta Key Senior Photos | Class of 2021

    I honestly can’t think of many things that are more beautiful than the beach at sunrise. The serene tranquility of the waves lapping the shore. The cotton candy skies. The beach is mostly empty at this time of day. A few walkers and shell seekers lazily meander by. Long gone are the racous crowds and it’s the perfect time to capture beautiful senior photos.

    When Abby’s mom reached out to me, she told me they would be visiting Sarasota from the midwest and Abby would love to have her senior photos taken at Siesta Key Beach(https://www.visitsarasota.com/siesta-key). Sign me up! I’m in!

      Yep, that’s me in there for about half a second. I believe in taking the trip, being in the photo, and not waiting for ‘someday.’ Also I photograph seniors in Sarasota, but that’s a whole separate post.

      New here? Good.
      No fluff. No filters. Just real.

      I’m Michaela. I photograph seniors in that strange, in-between year. The last summer before the dorm room. The kid who still texts you the good stuff, even when she swears she’s too busy for you.

      No brick walls. No “smile because I said so.”

      I want the giggle. The walk that turns into a run because she forgot the camera was even there.

      Real photos. Real teens. Every time.

      Glad you’re here.
