Senior portraits for students in Andover should feel confident, relaxed, and intentional.

I photograph Andover senior portraits for high school students who want images that feel natural and elevated, and for parents who want a professional, well-run experience they can trust.

This includes seniors from Andover High School as well as Phillips Academy.

A calm, guided senior portrait experience

Most seniors don’t hate photos. They hate not knowing what to do.

That uncertainty is what this experience removes.

Every session is built around the Cowpar Confidence Method™, a structured, supportive approach that replaces awkward posing with clear direction and real-time feedback. Seniors are guided throughout the session so confidence shows naturally, without pressure or performance.

This approach works especially well for students who are thoughtful, driven, or a little camera-shy. Confidence builds quickly when expectations are clear.

Senior portraits for Andover High School and Phillips Academy students

Andover families come from many backgrounds, and senior portrait expectations vary.

Some students want portraits that feel polished and traditional. Others want something modern, editorial, and understated.

Students from Andover High School often want images that balance personality with approachability. Students from Phillips Academy often want portraits that feel refined, confident, and timeless.

Sessions are designed to adapt to the senior, not force a style.

The result is senior portraits that feel authentic and appropriate for graduation announcements, family keepsakes, and future milestones.
