Looking for senior portrait ideas? Look no further than our photoshoot with Madison West Senior Elia. Elia spent most of a day at the hair salon getting her hair hand-painted purple for her senior pictures. The purple bayalage technique combined with her outfit choices, including a fun floral pattern romper with overlay, 2 beautiful natural locations, AND her french bulldog resulted in a fantastic and unforgettable senior portrait experience.
When it comes to hair, outfits, locations and even pets Dave and I have tons of experience and ideas to help guide you. We love hearing our clients ideas and interests and then working together to craft the perfect senior pictures experience.
