Hey Class of 2026—this one’s for the dreamers, the creatives, the ones who light up when they're doing what they love. Whether that’s working on a lobster boat, flying planes, flipping through books at the library, or dancing at the edge of the sea... your senior photos should tell YOUR story.
You’ve got a passion? I’ve got ideas. 📸
I’m Julie, your Maine-based Senior Photographer who doesn’t shy away from getting a little sandy, salty, or in the water (yes, even that!) to make your photos truly yours. Whether you have your own vision or you’re thinking, “I’m not creative at all,” no worries—I’ve got you. I bring the creative ideas, you just bring yourself. Your senior session should feel like your highlight reel: where you look back on and say,
“Yup, that was ME.”
It’s not just about pretty pictures—it’s about capturing YOU.
Throughout the years, I've photographed hundreds of seniors, each in their own distinctive style...here are just a few examples:
A future author nestled into a library nook 📚
A young firefighter in his element at the station 🚒
A pilot-to-be on the tarmac ✈️
Lobstermen doing what they love, out at sea 🦞
Many graceful dancers poised on the rocks, ocean mist in the air 💃
These aren’t Pinterest recreations.
These are personalized, inspired, real-life stories... yours.
“She has an artistic eye for shots that will show the creative side of your rising senior and capture his/her personality with each shot she takes.” – Deann, Senior Mom
So… What makes a Creative Session? It’s all about tapping into you—your vibe, your goals, your favorite places or passions. Love music? Let's incorporate it. Obsessed with fashion? Let’s turn a city sidewalk into your runway. Or maybe you want something quieter—thoughtful, soft, storytelling shots that say more with less.
I’m here for it all.
And if your idea feels a little out there? EVEN BETTER.
Summer is Short, So Let’s Talk Timing.
Here in Maine, we have a pretty short window to make that summer photo magic happen. My calendar has been filling up fast, and once those prime golden hour spots are gone, they’re gone!
The truth is: the sooner we chat, the better your options will be—for dates, locations, and creative session planning. So even if you’re still “just a junior” (for another few weeks), it’s time.
"What Happens Next?"
Next, you simply reach out to let me know you're ready to hear more! I'll get back to you to set up a call. Why? Because that call is everything. You get to ask me all your questions (yes, even “But, what if I'm not a picture person?” 😄), and I get to learn what you want out of this experience. No pressure, no email tag where one question/answer leads us to more questions —just real talk to see if we’re the perfect fit!
“Where do I begin!? Julie is so amazing to work with! Our first phone conversation alone had me hooked. Without having even met my daughter yet, and me giving her just a bit of info, she was able to visualize the perfect places to do senior photos"... – Kasey, Senior Mom
