Senior Portraits in Los Angeles & the South Bay
Bold, authentic photos that celebrate who you are right now.
Your senior year deserves portraits that feel like you — not stiff, not awkward, just confident and real. I photograph seniors across Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, and San Pedro with a style that’s modern, editorial, and totally unforgettable.
Senior year is your moment
This is the year you get to be bold, be yourself, and celebrate everything that got you here. Your portraits should feel the same way — authentic, elevated, and completely you.
Every session is a creative collaboration. We’ll plan your outfits, choose locations that match your vibe, and create images that feel modern, expressive, and true to your personality. No cookie-cutter poses. No generic backdrops. Just portraits that make you feel powerful when you see them.
“I’d been dreaming about my senior photos since middle school — and honestly, I was nervous about getting everything just right. Finding the right photographer, the outfits, the locations… it felt like so much pressure.
But once I found Marcus, everything clicked. From our first consultation to the moment I saw my gallery, I felt completely taken care of. His style guides, client hub, and amazing styling team made the whole process effortless — and the photos? Even better than I ever imagined.”

Let's Connect.
After you fill out the inquiry form, we’ll hop on a video chat to see if we’re a good fit. It’s super casual — no pressure, no sales pitch.
I’ll walk you through the whole process, answer your questions, and if you already have ideas brewing, we’ll start planning. This is where we make sure your session feels exactly right for you.
You’ll receive all the info you need to prep and together we’ll plan every detail before your session!

Planning your dream shoot
Once you’re booked, you’ll get my Senior Session Prep Kit with everything you need: style guide, timeline, location ideas, and all the pro tips to help you feel completely ready.
We’ll refine your wardrobe, choose your locations, and map out every detail so nothing feels last-minute or stressful. The more intentional we are in planning, the more fun and relaxed your session will be.
Have questions before your shoot? I’m here pretty much 24/7. Seriously — ask me anything.

Session Day
When your session day arrives, it’s all about you.
Your outfits are ready, your playlist is queued, and we’ll move through your shoot with energy and intention. I’ll guide every pose and expression so you feel natural and confident in front of the camera.
Expect movement, laughter, and moments that feel totally authentic. The best portraits happen when you stop overthinking and just let yourself be confident — that’s what I’m looking for.

Reveal & Ordering Appointment
About two weeks after your session, we’ll meet for your Reveal & Ordering Appointment — honestly one of the best parts of this whole thing.
You’ll see your full gallery for the first time, beautifully edited and ready to celebrate. We’ll choose your favorites and explore options for albums, wall art, and your digital collection.
This is where it hits: you’ll see yourself the way everyone else does — confident, radiant, completely you. Most seniors leave saying “I can’t believe that’s me.” And that’s exactly the point.
I’m here to make the process easy and fun for all of you!
