If you are a parent of a High School Senior, I can only imagine the number of items on your fall “to-do” list! My head spins as I remember the lists I made in 2013 and 2016 when my daughters were seniors at Wellesley High School! I’m writing today’s blog to help you check off a few of those items (and maybe make your life a little less stressful in the process).
For 2 years I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Wellesley High School (and other nearby towns) seniors for their yearbook portraits. What fun I’ve had getting to know them as we chat together during their 30-45 minute session. I learn all kinds of wonderful things about them…their hobbies, pets, siblings, college dreams, best friends and even what side of their face they like best. What results from these casual and open conversations is a natural, happy and authentic portrait of your senior, one that can sometimes be difficult to get during those standard ‘big-box’ school photo sessions.

“I’m clueless when it comes to designing anything on the computer. A friend told me about Beth. What a gift. Beth not only helped design my “parent page” for my son’s senior yearbook, she helped create his graduation party invitation. Both were fabulous. The best part however was working with Beth. She is a perfectionist; professional, creative, quick and most of all a joy to work with.” Liz G, Wellesley, MA
