Senior & Graduate
Whether you’re walking the Quad at James Madison University (go Dukes!), celebrating at Virginia Tech, Bridgewater College, or another Virginia campus — or marking your final year of high school, this season deserves to be remembered.
My approach is rooted in connection and ease. I want your session to feel relaxed, joyful, and authentically you, with a mix of timeless portraits and candid moments that capture your confidence, laughter, and excitement for what’s ahead.
From JMU to small-town Virginia high schools, I’m here to document this milestone with intentionality and heart, so you can look back on these images and remember exactly how this moment felt.
A relaxed, connection-focused session that feels like you — joyful, confident, and natural. Timeless portraits and candid moments that capture this season exactly as it is.
- Timeless portraits for family, announcements, and graduation cards
- Candid, personality-filled images that show your excitement for what’s ahead
- Locations that matter to you — from campus landmarks to mountain overlooks
- Easy, guided posing so you never feel awkward in front of the camera
I’m here to create images you’ll look back on years from now and remember exactly how this moment felt.
Your session should feel relaxed and natural — never stiff or overly posed.
- Caroline Godwin, JMU 2025
Working with Katie for my graduation pictures was an amazing experience! Not only was Katie incredibly professional, but also a great person to talk to throughout the session. She made me feel more comfortable and confident, which really shows in the photos! I highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for both amazon photos and a wonderful person to work with!
“She made me feel confident and it shows in the photos.”

Celebrating seniors across the Shenandoah Valley is at the heart of what I do. From sunrise sessions on Skyline Drive to golden-hour portraits on the James Madison University Quad, every gallery is intentionally crafted to reflect this milestone season of life.
I work with high school seniors and college graduates throughout Virginia — including JMU, Virginia Tech, Bridgewater College, and local schools in Rockbridge, Augusta, and Winchester — to create images that feel relaxed, confident, and authentically you.

After photographing over a hundred college graduates each spring, I’ve built a workflow that keeps every session organized, stress-free, and professional — while still leaving room for creativity and connection.
