The Funny Thing About Senior Portraits is...

They are Not Really for the Senior!


We may call them "senior portraits," because they capture that special moment in their lives, but the reality is... few of the seniors we photograph will have a portrait of themselves on their wall, or even on their desk. However, you will. The grandparents, aunts and uncles, very close family friends, and anyone else who had a role in watching your senior grow up will want to remember this time in their life.

This is the last opportunity for you to have your "child" photographed professionally. For many families these are the only professional photographs they will have of their child. These are the photographs you will look at long after they have left the nest and started their own families.

You want something that will always remind you of just how they were, and just what your life was like when they were home. You will want something that says, "Oh, that's so her/him," every time that you see it.

Many young people think that they will be happy with a senior snapshot or facebook style picture for their yearbook picture. These can be funky, strange, and great for the moment, but do they provide a long lasting memory? Is that timeless? No. Facebook photos change daily or weekly. They are not long lasting keepsakes.

Let us provide you with a portrait series of your child that will be timeless. A Caldwell Photography portrait will be cherished for generations. Capture this precious time in your Senior's life. You will be glad that you did!
