Senior Photos Should Feel Like You When I photograph a senior photo session in Greensboro, I’m not just focused on getting a great smile or perfectly styled outfit. I’m paying attention to something deeper: your energy. Your vibe. That spark that makes you you. One of the first things I ask every senior is I book is: ✨ “Why did you choose me?” And nearly…

🌼 A Wildflower Field at Golden Hour: Genna’s Senior Session | Greensboro Senior Photographer - Kelly McPhail Photography
Honestly, I’m honored by every single senior who chooses me to help celebrate this incredible year in their lives. But, I’m especially honored when someone from 1.5 hrs away reaches out about booking a session with me for their senior photos! That was Ryane, a 2022 senior, I am featuring in this urban senior photos post! Last year, Ryane and her mom made the drive…

Guys, Mario’s senior session was my 4th session with the Brkaric family! They have honored me so much by booking me for two family sessions and then a senior session for each of their two boys—I did Mario’s older brother Gavin a couple of years ago. It truly is an honor when clients continue to come back to me for future sessions. So this is…

Mario's Senior Session - Kelly McPhail Photography
Statement outfits—outfits that really stand out or draw attention—are sneakily one of my favorite things about senior photos. Not all, but many of my seniors choose an outfit or piece for their senior photos that really stands outs in a way that “makes a statement” about who they are! The reason I love statement outfits so much is that are one of the major ways…

Ella's Senior Photos - Kelly McPhail Photography
One my favorite things about taking senior photos is the artistic journey of uncovering and capturing the distinct personality of each senior. My goal is that their senior portraits authentically represent who they are. While I do get to know them a bit before our session, the real magic unfolds once my camera comes out. I work with all types of seniors and thrive on…

Treasure's Summer Senior Session - Kelly McPhail Photography
When Qiyuan said that she wanted to incorporate tractors and a farm into her session, my brain was racing all over the place as I began to piece together her session. After considering my friend’s farm outside of Lafayette, we decided to start with a few urban shots in downtown Lafayette and then make our way out to the farm to finish up the evening. …
