I’m a Barrington, Illinois senior photographer specializing in modern, personalized senior portraits for high school seniors. Sessions take place in my Barrington studio and at outdoor locations throughout Chicago’s northwest suburbs, including Lake Barrington, Inverness, Palatine, Arlington Heights, and nearby communities.
Serving Barrington & Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs
Senior Photographer in Barrington, IL
Senior sessions can take place in my Barrington studio, at outdoor locations throughout the northwest suburbs, or as a combination of both. The right location plays a key role in the overall look and feel of your senior portraits, and I help guide that choice during the planning process.
Studio senior sessions offer a clean, modern look with controlled lighting and a distraction-free setting. This option is ideal for seniors who want timeless portraits or a more editorial, fashion-inspired style.
For a natural, relaxed feel, outdoor senior sessions are available at thoughtfully selected locations near Barrington and surrounding communities. These locations provide beautiful light, texture, and seasonal variety throughout the year.
Many seniors choose a studio + outdoor combination session, allowing for a well-rounded gallery with both polished studio portraits and natural outdoor images — all within one seamless experience.

Senior portrait sessions are a meaningful milestone, and planning ahead helps ensure the best experience and availability. Most families book senior sessions several months in advance, especially for fall dates, which tend to fill quickly.
Once you inquire, I’ll walk you through the process step by step — from choosing studio or outdoor locations, to styling guidance, timing, and session details. Every senior session is thoughtfully planned to feel relaxed, organized, and enjoyable from start to finish.
If you’re looking for senior portraits that feel natural, confident, and true to who your senior is right now, I’d love to connect and start planning your session.

What to Wear for Senior Pictures
Choosing outfits for senior pictures doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. The goal is to select clothing that feels authentic, photographs beautifully, and complements your chosen location and style.
Neutral tones, soft textures, and classic silhouettes tend to photograph best and help keep the focus on the senior. Layers, jackets, and accessories add variety and interest without feeling distracting. Seniors are encouraged to bring multiple outfit options, allowing for both casual and more elevated looks during the session.
For studio sessions, clean lines and solid colors create timeless portraits with a polished feel. Outdoor sessions work beautifully with natural tones and seasonal colors that blend seamlessly with the surroundings. I provide guidance during planning to help align outfits with the overall vision of the session.
Parents and seniors receive clear styling support before the session so everyone arrives feeling confident and prepared — no guesswork required.
