Dreamy, naturally styled sessions based in West Bend, Wisconsin

Fun Senior Photography

As a parent, I know how fast these years go. One minute they’re learning to walk, and the next they’re getting ready to graduate. And for seniors, this year is a big deal — it’s the last chapter before everything starts to change. Senior photos are about more than a yearbook picture. They’re a way to capture who your senior is right now, in this season of life.

My senior sessions are laid-back, fun, and focused on personality — not stiff poses or forced smiles. I’ll guide both parents and seniors through the whole process with outfit ideas, styling tips, and a simple, stress-free experience so everyone feels comfortable and confident. Together, we’ll create images that feel real and meaningful, and that you’ll both love looking back on long after graduation day.

Celebrate who they are today before they step into tomorrow

what to expect...

Whether your senior is counting down the days until graduation or just starting to think about what’s next, this season of their life is worth remembering exactly as it is. Senior year goes so fast, which is why I’ve kept the entire process simple and stress-free from the start.

Each session is designed to feel relaxed, fun, and true to your senior — no pressure, no stiff posing, just genuine smiles and a lot of fun. You’ll walk away with a collection of images that really reflect their personality, captured in a way that feels natural and meaningful.

I also place a big emphasis on turning those images into something you can actually hold onto. That’s why my packages focus on albums and prints, with a few digital downloads included to go along with them — so these memories aren’t just living on a hard drive, but can be enjoyed now and for years to come.

Fun. Memorable. Effortless.

"Melissa did my daughter's Senior photos and she was AMAZING!! They turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined. Working with her was like working with a family member, everything was so easy. Whether it was communication, the photo shoot, or whatever else she was so great. Highly recommended!"

As soon as you know your availability, you should book your session. My weekend dates fill up the fastest and I typically book out three months in advance. Week day evenings are more flexible; however, they also fill up sometimes a month or two in advance as well. 

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

Every senior has a unique style, so I provide a styling guide with outfit tips, sent after booking. If you need extra help, I’m always available for one-on-one support—just reach out anytime.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

This is one of the questions I get most often! I’ve photographed all over, so I have plenty of favorite spots to suggest. Just tell me your vision, and we’ll find the perfect location together.

what location should i choose?

You’ll receive a watermarked proof gallery within 48 hours to select your favorite images. Your fully edited digital photos will be delivered within 2–3 weeks, and any albums, prints, or à la carte products will be ordered at that time — these tangible products will take a little longer to arrive.

What is your turnaround time?

Travel is available within a 50-mile radius of West Bend, Wisconsin. A travel fee of $0.50 per mile will apply to any location more than 20 miles outside of the 53095 ZIP code.

do you travel?

In addition to your session package, you can customize your experience with à la carte options, including extra digital images, additional album spreads, parent albums, prints, and wall art. Digital files are included with your package’s chosen album and prints, but any additional products or images are sold separately. You’ll make your selections when you receive your private online gallery, so you can pick exactly what you want while keeping everything simple and flexible. If you’d like to see pricing for à la carte items, you’re more than welcome to reach out and I can send it to you.

What a la carte options are available?
