Welcome

SCENE Portraits is all about capturing your scene! We have chosen to specialize in high school senior photography with a dash of creative, brand, and family photography! This means we've focused our energy and our business on creating a seamless and personal portrait experience! We work hard to customize every session around each of our unique clients!

When you choose SCENE, we will be there to guide you every step of the way, from picking the best locations to choosing the perfect outfits that are true to your personality and style.
Our goal at SCENE Portraits is to capture authentic, clean, and timeless images.
We ensure the images we create with you don’t get trapped in a USB, and in the end, we deliver beautifully printed products that you can showcase and share!  Social media? No problem! Each package comes with social media files of all edited images! We love it when we see your faces in our timelines!

When it comes to your portraits, you want to be able to remember these moments as true. The way the sunset shines through the leaves and frames you as you walk through the fields. How warm it felt that day. The wind in your hair, how your nose scrunches up when you laugh. The freckles on your cheeks, and the scenery of your hometown. Nothing can replicate these moments. It is so important to us that your experience is fun, comfortable and candid.  That we capture the REAL you at your very best!
Our goal is to keep you smiling long after your session as you share all of the amazing images we captured with your friends and family!
