High School Seniors & College Graduates
Come as you are. Leave feeling iconic.
Here at Kelly Rae Photography, I strive to capture bold, colorful senior and college graduation portraits for people who want to be themselves and also walk away from their session feeling more confident.
No modeling experience. No perfect poses. No personality transplant required. I’ll guide you through the entire experience, hype you up when you need it and create photographs that feel unmistakably like you.

Your photos should
actually feel like you.
Maybe you’re quiet until you get comfortable. Maybe you’re colorful, creative and always doing your own thing. Maybe you’re sporty, polished, alternative, artistic, laid-back, trend-setting or a little bit of everything.
I work with camera-shy seniors, social butterflies, creative rule-breakers and everyone in between ALL. THE. TIME.
You don’t have to fit a certain aesthetic or become a completely different person in front of my camera. We’ll build your session around your personality, interests and style so your photos don’t look like everybody else’s senior pictures.
Your images will reflect YOU.
“But I have absolutely no idea how to pose.”
Perfect. That is quite literally my job.
You will never be left standing in front of my camera wondering what to do with your hands. I’ll guide your posture, hands, expressions and movement while keeping everything relaxed and natural. I’ll fix stray hairs, watch for wardrobe mishaps and give you plenty of direction along the way.
We’ll start easy, laugh through any awkwardness and build your confidence as we go. You may arrive feeling nervous, but my goal is for you to leave wondering why you were ever worried in the first place.
Come exactly as you are.
Every race, body, gender identity, religion, disability and family structure is welcome and treated with care here.

You deserve to feel safe, seen and genuinely celebrated during your experience.

The Complimentary Cap & Gown Send-Off
Every paid KRP high school senior client is invited to join me for a complimentary Cap + Gown Send-Off at the end of the school year.
This celebratory mini event includes:
Approximately 15 minutes of photography
One Location + Cap-&-Gown Look
A Mini Gallery of 10+ edited images
One more chance to celebrate everything you accomplished
Seniors will bring their own school cap and gown. The final date, location and event details will be shared with current senior clients before graduation season.
It’s my way of celebrating you one more time before you head into whatever beautiful, brave thing comes next.
You survived the deadlines, group projects, exams, all-nighters and probably an emotionally significant amount of caffeine.
Now we celebrate it!
Whether you want a solo graduation experience or a colorful session with your college besties, your photographs will capture the excitement, personality and seriously big accomplishment behind that diploma.

Need to divide things up?
Judgment-free payment plans are available!
We can create weekly, biweekly or monthly payments based on what works best for your family.
Because celebrating your senior should feel exciting; not financially terrifying.
Just click the option when filling out the booking form & we’ll figure it out together!
Your Gallery, Your Way
Once your photographs are finished, you’ll receive your complete curated gallery of edited, high-resolution digital images through a private online gallery.
Pour your favorite drink, gather your people or enjoy the moment all to yourself; however you choose to experience your photographs for the first time, make it feel like a celebration. You only get to see them for the first time once!
Adding an Heirloom Album?
Your photographs deserve a life beyond your camera roll.
Digital photographs are wonderful, but there is something completely different about holding your story in your hands.
An album becomes the book your family passes around, the one your mom gets emotional over and the one future-you will pull off the shelf years from now. It transforms your senior photographs from files you scroll past into something tangible, beautiful and lasting.
If you purchase an album, we’ll schedule a relaxed 45–60 minute Gallery Celebration + Album Design Appointment.
During your appointment, we’ll:
Celebrate your finished photographs together.
Choose approximately 25–40 favorite images for your album.
Explore album sizes, leather covers and available upgrades.
Decide how you want your album to look and feel.
Gather everything I need to create your custom design.
Afterward, I’ll professionally design the album for you. You’ll receive one revision round and give final approval before it is sent into production.
Albums are completely optional and may be purchased when booking or added after your session. There is no high-pressure sales appointment; just a beautiful way to turn your photographs into something you can hold, display and keep for generations.
Leather Heirloom Albums
10×8 Album — $475
12×8 album — $615
Includes 10 custom designed spreads
Each Spread can hold up to 4-5 images depending on design. Additional spreads are $20 each. You’ll be able to choose from available leather cover options, with select upgrades available for an additional cost.
After your appointment, I’ll create the complete album design for you. You’ll receive one revision round and give final written approval before the album is sent into production. Production begins once the design is approved and the album balance is paid in full.
Albums may be purchased when booking your session or during your Gallery Celebration.
