Working with Marcus was a total experience for my teenage girls! It all began with incredible hair and make up! Marcus was very laid back but extremely professional making the girls feel comfortable in front of the camera.

PRICING

Every senior session includes professional hair and makeup, a 2–3 hour photo shoot, unlimited outfit changes, and as many locations as we can realistically fit in. We’ll also meet up after your shoot for an in-person Image Premiere where you’ll get to see all your photos and choose your favorites.

Your session retainer covers the shoot itself. Digital images and printed products are available separately, and we offer a range of collections to suit different needs. Collections start at $750 and include a beautiful mix of high-resolution digital files and heirloom-quality prints.

Want the full pricing guide? Just reach out to Marcus and he’ll get you all the details!

QUESTIONS?

I HAVE ANSWERS.

  • It really depends on the vibe you want!

    If you’re dreaming of golden sunsets by the beach in Redondo or epic cliffs in Palos Verdes, summer and early fall are amazing. Want a more urban, editorial look? Winter downtown shoots can be super cool too.

    Most seniors book their photo sessions a few months ahead — so don’t wait too long if you want your favorite time of year!

  • First rule: wear what makes you feel confident.

    We’ll go over outfits together when we plan your session, but think about colors that pop, cool textures, and stuff you can move and have fun in. (No need for all black unless that’s your thing.)

    Plus, when you book your senior portraits, you’ll get my Style Guide with tons of tips — so you won’t be stressing about what to bring.

  • That’s the fun part — you get options!

    We can hit the beach at Redondo or Manhattan, explore hidden gardens in Torrance, or climb up to the cliffs in Palos Verdes for those “wow” shots.

    Wherever we go, your senior photos will feel like you — not some random, boring backdrop.

On shoot day, you’ll start with professional hair and makeup designed to highlight your natural beauty. I’ll be there to make sure you’re feeling confident before we even step in front of the camera. This is your time to shine — so relax, laugh a lot, and let’s create something amazing.

We’ll visit some of the best spots around the South Bay — whether it’s golden beaches, hidden gardens, or dramatic cliffs. Expect plenty of laughs, outfit changes, and unforgettable moments captured in a way that feels effortless and authentic.

About a 2 weeks after your shoot, you’ll see your images for the very first time during your Image Premiere. I’ll help you design custom albums, wall art, and digital collections so you have beautiful, lasting memories from this incredible season of your life.

I’m proud to photograph seniors from all over the South Bay — including Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, and San Pedro.

Your senior portraits should feel like you, and living here gives us so many incredible backdrops to work with. Ready to start planning your South Bay senior session? Let’s make it happen!
