Senior Pictures in Scottsdale & Phoenix Valley
Celebrate Your Senior Year with Personalized Portraits
At SMHerrick Photography, I specialize in capturing senior portraits that showcase the vibrant, unique personalities of high school seniors. Your senior year is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and your portraits should reflect who you are at this exciting stage of life.
Whether you’re drawn to Scottsdale’s urban charm, the natural beauty of the Phoenix Valley, or your own personal spaces, every session is tailored to you. Together, we’ll create images that are fresh, vibrant, and full of personality—anything but ordinary.
What Makes My Senior Sessions Unique?
Personalized Experience
Every session is built around your vision and style:
- Location Options: From urban backdrops to nature-focused settings.
- Unlimited Wardrobe Changes: Bring outfits that reflect your unique personality.
- Stress-Free & Fun: I ensure a relaxed atmosphere where you feel confident and at ease.
“Your Senior Pictures will be fresh, crisp, and rich in color. I’ll capture moments that tell your story—images you’ll be proud to share.”
COLLABORATE
Let’s allow inspiration to be our guide. Let’s allow ourselves to stray off of the beaten path. Let’s talk about who you are. Where you are going? Where you have been? What is it that you have done? What is it that you know you are going to do? My Senior Pictures Sessions are all about you. Let’s start, by talking about you.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
~ Oscar Wilde
CREATE
I believe that everything is possible. Let’s create what you see in your mind’s eye. Our cities are filled with countless locations in which we can let curiosity and emotion take hold and lead us to truly unique, timeless, and captivating Senior Pictures. Rivers, waterfalls, skylines, sunrises, and sunsets. Edgy, fresh, bold, classic, and contemporary. You decide.
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
~ Marilyn Monroe
CAPTURE
Let’s take the first steps and then start running. We’ll cover the looks you want. We’ll nail the perfect locations. We’ll cover all the props, the wardrobe ideas, the make-up artists, the hairstylist, the old cars, the sport, the dance, and everything that makes you, you. This is your Senior Portrait Session. Let’s get out there and let’s capture it.
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”
~ William Shakespeare
The Senior Portrait Sessions
Choosing the perfect Session
Every Senior Portrait session always includes unlimited locations and wardrobe changes (within the session length chosen), my award-winning post-processing (vibrant, rich in color, stunning detail), your choice of image for the yearbook photo, and more.
I keep sessions clear and concise. Same with the pricing. Once a session length is selected, choose from how you would like your images delivered. There are three predefined Image Collections from which to choose (of course, additional products can be purchased at a later time).
