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.
Senior season fills quickly — summer and fall 2026 dates are limited.

Susannah made it a very fun and memorable experience for my daughter, which really shines through in the pictures. The natural lighting, composition, poses, and expressions were all perfect. I am so grateful I chose Susannah to capture this special moment.

Mom of Lyons High School Senior
I photograph high school senior portraits throughout Northern Colorado and the Boulder Valley, including Longmont, Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Niwot, Loveland, Berthoud, Fort Collins, and Denver. Sessions are held outdoors using natural light, with locations chosen to reflect your senior's personality — from open fields and mountain backdrops to parks and downtown settings.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
