FOR THE PARENTS...

Parents, this is probably the section that you scrolled to first. I get it…especially in today’s economy, cost is a super important factor in almost every decision we make. That being said, I believe that if you are going to spend your money, investing in an experience is WAY more valuable than investing in “things”, and it’s a mantra that I live by daily! This experience, in particular, will skyrocket your teen's confidence, help them to see that they are beautiful AS THEY ARE, & teach them that their uniqueness is special and is a gift that they were put on Earth to share with others.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how special of a time this is for your son or daughter. Senior Year is the culmination of 12+ years of education, friendships, & activities. Graduation marks the end of childhood and the start of a new chapter - one filled with a lot of unknowns but also a lot of promise and anticipation as your Senior goes out into the world to do big things. I see their senior portrait session as so much more than just photos…it’s a day FOR them. A day to celebrate their accomplishments up to this point, and to celebrate what comes next. 

Here at Stacey Lyn Boutique Photography, we craft an experience that not only makes them feel beautiful, but also confident, celebrated, special, empowered, heard & seen. Everyone is welcomed and celebrated here, and this experience will carry them into the future with the super power to be comfortable in their skin and the confidence to show up in the world ready to offer their unique gifts. They will remember their senior portrait experience with us for many years to come and you, as a parent, will treasure the time spent alongside them watching as they come alive ready to step into their power as a more self-assured young adult.

The investment that you make to celebrate your son or daughter through their senior portrait experience will fade into the background every time you flip through their album, or see them smiling back at you from that portrait on your wall. Those same albums and portraits will be viewed by your grandchildren, your son or daughter’s grandchildren, and many generations to come. The images that we create will become part of your family’s legacy & tell an important story of who your son or daughter was at such an important crossroad in their life.
 
If you’ve traveled through my website, I’m sure that you realize that what I do is way more entailed and customized than a lot of local photographers. I work with seniors full time because I am so passionate about not only photographing their senior portraits, but in being an additional resource for them - whether they need a cheerleader, coach, mentor, or friend - I am here to listen and guide them as they navigate the landmines of their teen years. I take less seniors per year so that I have more time to spend with each and every senior so that I can truly get to know them & capture their essence through imagery. I put all of myself into these sessions, spending a ton of time with you and your senior not only during the session but before and after as well so that you are guided each and every step of the way. I am extremely passionate about giving these teenagers far more than just “cool photos”.  My MAIN goal is to help each teen feel valued and “seen”….. to help build confidence … to connect with them ... to encourage them to show up unapologetically as the person that they were meant to be in the world. I 100% believe that each of us was put on this planet to fulfill a unique purpose and EVERYONE should have the space and the support to shine their unique light.  I only shoot about 50 seniors per year – by choice – because in order for me to deliver this type of service & really CONNECT, I spend a great deal of time and energy.

My senior portrait experiences begin at $350 and collections begin at $550, with most clients spending between $2000 - $3000 for their entire experience. I include a family mini session in most session types so that you can update your family photos - it’s such a great value and something that I feel is so important because it is the last "official" family portrait before your son or daughter leaves the nest. Most sessions also include a cap & gown session in the Spring before graduation.

These are some of the last images that you will have of your son or daughter before they go off into the world to do big things. You can’t get this time back and I will work with you to make it happen if you feel I’m the right photographer for you and your senior. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

aka what's it cost & why should I pay it?
