Senior Photography — Northern Colorado & Boulder County

Modern, natural senior portraits that feel confident, relaxed, and true to who they are — not stiff or overly posed.

Senior photos don't need to feel awkward or overly staged. I'm Susannah, a Northern Colorado senior photographer based in the Longmont area, and I've been photographing high school seniors across Boulder County and the Front Range for nearly 15
 years.

Senior portrait sessions are relaxed, guided, and paced to help seniors feel comfortable in front of the camera — even if they're nervous at first. From outfit planning to location selection, I guide each step so seniors show up feeling confident and parents know everything is taken care of. The result is natural, timeless portraits that feel like them.

I photograph seniors throughout Northern Colorado and Boulder County — including Longmont, Boulder, Erie, Niwot, Lyons, Broomfield, Mead, Berthoud, Lafayette, Louisville, and Fort Collins. Sessions take place at locations that fit your senior's personality, from mountain backdrops near Lyons to parks and open spaces throughout Longmont and Boulder.

I've photographed seniors from Longmont High, Skyline High, Niwot High, Mead High, Erie High, Lyons High, Centaurus, Broomfield High,Holy Family, Boulder High, Fairview, and schools across the Front Range.

When should senior photos be taken?

Most seniors schedule their session between late spring and early fall, depending on sports, activities, and yearbook deadlines. Summer and early fall sessions are especially popular for warm light and outdoor locations. Sessions fill up as the yearbook deadline approaches, so booking early is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should my senior wear for their session?

I provide guidance on outfit selection so everything photographs well and feels true to your senior’s style. Neutral tones, layers, and simple textures tend to work beautifully, and I recommend avoiding large logos or bold patterns. Seniors are welcome to bring multiple outfits for variety.

Do you help choose the photo location?

Yes. I help select locations based on your senior’s personality, style, and the overall look you want. Sessions often take place outdoors in natural light, using Colorado locations that feel timeless and relaxed rather than trendy or overdone.

What if my senior feels nervous in front of the camera?

This is very common — and completely okay. Sessions are guided and low-pressure, with natural posing and movement to help seniors feel comfortable. Most seniors relax quickly once we get started, and parents are often surprised by how confident their senior looks in the final images.

How long does it take to receive the photos?

Galleries are delivered within a few weeks of the session. Images are carefully edited and presented in an online gallery where you can select and download your final images.

Can parents attend the session?

Parents are always welcome to attend and help if needed.

Do you offer prints or wall art?

Yes. Professional prints and wall art are available, and I’m happy to help you choose pieces that fit your home and style. From framed prints to statement wall art, I can guide you through options that showcase your senior’s images beautifully and last well beyond graduation.

Can senior photos be used for THE yearbook ?

Yes. Images are suitable for yearbook use, and I’m happy to help ensure your senior has what they need for school submission requirements. If your school has specific guidelines or deadlines, just let me know when you inquire or before your session.

Do you submit the yearbook photo for us?

Yes — I format and submit the yearbook image directly to your school based on their specifications. It's included in every session.
