The Santanas Senior Portraits | Richmond Photographer

Graduation season is here, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a senior portrait session that captures all the excitement, beauty, and energy of this milestone moment! As a Richmond photographer who loves working with seniors, I believe these sessions should be as joyful and authentic as the memories they represent.

Recently, I had the absolute blast of photographing The Santana girls for a group senior session at the VMFA here in Richmond. Let me tell you — these girls nailed it. From start to finish, it was pure fun, even when we got caught in a surprise downpour!

Instead of letting the rain slow us down, they grabbed some coffee, popped champagne under the cloudy sky, and kept the celebration alive. Moments like these are why I love senior sessions so much: they’re full of laughter, real memories, and pure magic.

(And side note: “Together, together, together, EVERYONE!” might have been the quote of the day.)

One of the best parts? One of these amazing seniors is now a bride-to-be—and I’ll be the one photographing her wedding too.

Why Book a Senior Session with a Richmond Photographer?

If you’re wondering whether a professional senior session is worth it—it absolutely is!

Here’s why choosing a local Richmond photographer (like me!) makes your experience unforgettable:

1. Customized Locations

Richmond has endless beautiful spots for photos—historic architecture, gardens, murals, river views—you name it! I’ll help you choose a location that fits your style, whether it’s the elegant VMFA, the dreamy Maymont gardens, or the colorful murals of Carytown.

2. Stress-Free Experience

Rain? No problem. Wind? Let’s make it work. Senior sessions should feel fun, not stressful. I’ll guide you every step of the way—from outfit ideas to posing tips—so you feel confident and have a blast.

3. True-to-You Photos

Your session should reflect who you are right now—this unique, once-in-a-lifetime moment. Whether you want soft and classic, bold and colorful, or something adventurous, we’ll create images that tell your story authentically.

4. Timeless Memories

These aren’t just photos for social media. They’re keepsakes your family will cherish forever. Graduation is a huge milestone, and professional senior portraits freeze this exciting season in a way that iPhone selfies just can’t.

Tips for an Amazing Senior Portrait Session

Bring Two Outfits: One dressy, one casual for variety!
Trust the Process: Relax, laugh, and let your personality shine.
Celebrate!: Bring your best friends, your cap and gown, or even a bottle of champagne if it’s safe and permitted.
Embrace the Unexpected: Rain, wind, whatever happens—it’s all part of the memory!
