Creative & fun sessions that result in artwork on your walls

Congratulations! You made it to your senior year! How exciting! Let's chat about your dreams for your session.  

Your senior portrait experience is about you.  Let's show off your best self by playing dress up if you'd like to or wearing your favorite outfit.  

This is the time to shine, showing off your biggest personality through use of props or your clothing or even location. 

As part of your experience, you will receive a guide on locations as well as guidance on things to bring along.   Participate in sports or any extracurriculars? This is where we get to showcase them and your talents.  Have a hobby your absolutely love? Let's include it in your session. Each senior session is completely customizable to showcase your best self.

1. Say Hello

Let’s Start the Conversation! 

I’d love to hear all about your journey—what kind of extra curriculars are you in? What is your involvement like at school? Do you have something in particular you would like captured in this momentous time?

Reach out so we can discuss your vision for the session and all the ideas you have in mind. Together, we’ll find the perfect date and get it on the calendar. The excitement is just beginning!

Once you are on my calendar, now comes the fun part, planning your session!  First we will start off with talking about location. I do have a location guide that will be sent out along with other guides to help you along the way.  

Part of planning is choosing what you want featured.  Your love of sports? Your love of dressing up? Your love of cars? Your love of horses?  Anything and everything that makes you unique can be incorporated into our session together.

She took my daughter's Senior pictures and outdid herself! My daughter hates her picture made (unless it's a selfie) but Ashley had her wanting to take hundreds of them. And she literally did!!!

Very easy to work with!! Gave her my daughter's wants and she brought it to life!!  I could not have asked for someone better to do my daughter's senior portraits.  Highly recommend to anyone looking for senior portraits to be done! All you have to do is ask and she will deliver!

FAQs as a Manhattan, KS Senior Photographer

Q: Can i bring my favorite ____  (insert favorite object) ?

A: Yes! Your session is about you.  You can include anything that you want that makes you shine.  You enjoy duck hunting? Let's go to the pond with your bird dog, and capture you in your element.  Enjoy dressing up and wearing tiara's, let's plan for a beauty session and find a gorgeous location (I know a few), and we can capture you in all your gowns.  

Q: Am I able to print my own photographs from the session?

A: Each collection comes with its own set number of digital images.  You can certainly print from your choice of printers, but colors aren't guaranteed unless you print from my shop.  Don't know how to do that or don't know what you want? Let's pop on a call and talk about it, and I can assist you in placing your order.  

Q: When should I book My session?

A: As soon as the beginning of summer starts.  Senior casuals are typically due in the Fall for the yearbook, so we need to get them done before then.
