Ohhh what a bummer;

It’s the end of summer.

(That is a Marcie original!)

And some of our kids are beginning their final year of schooling!

He might be entering his senior year of high school; she might be finishing up her transition program with the approach of her 22nd birthday.

Wherever they are, they are reaching a major milestone, and they deserve to be celebrated!

One of the most unique types of photo shoots is the Senior Session. 

Senior photos are a great way to punctuate how hard our kids have worked, how much they have accomplished, and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. And they give our young adults a truly personal way to express themselves.

A Senior Photo Session can be about anything.

Anything that your child is passionate about, or proud of, or simply enjoys- it can be showcased in a senior photo session.

Does she love nature? New England has so many beautiful parks.

Does he play a sport? Let’s include the gear they use, and don’t forget to bring their uniform.

Maybe she just wants some glamour shots, with cool backgrounds and funky accessories.

The possibilities are truly endless!

I love the Senior Portrait Session!

It’s amazing getting to know young adults who have been extraordinarily challenged and are excited about the next big stage of life. I almost always learn something new and interesting during both the planning and the actual photo shoot, and they happily give me really cool ideas for upcoming seniors on my calendar.

By the end of the session, I truly do what I can to stay updated on their lives. And I really enjoy being a cheerleader for so many amazing young men and women with special needs.

Is it time for you to schedule a Senior Portrait Session?

Some of your High School Seniors may have more to say than others- one might be super excited for the variety of photos we can take that highlights their best selves, and another might be doing it because Mom is making them. By the end of the session, though, they almost always have a smile. At the very least, they admit it wasn’t so bad! Usually, though, they have a blast!

Do you have a rising high school senior or a transition student approaching 22?

I would absolutely love to work with you to create their Individualized Portrait Session.

Senior Photos are a must in the wall collection of family portraits, and our kids are excited to have a fun photo album to bring with them as they move through their lives.

    “Oh my, she captured my fairy princess so perfectly! Marcie has a great ability to keep my daughter engaged while getting some gorgeous photos for senior portraits. Her eye for detail is lovely. I am so happy with these photos!”

    Marcie did an amazing job photographing my boys. She was so very generous with her time and made sure she gave each of my sons their own “time to shine.”

    She did such a wonderful job capturing their innocence, personality, spirit and the love in their big, beautiful eyes. These images represent my children in a way that I see them as their mom and I will treasure them forever.”

    "Marcie was referred to me by a Mom of a special needs child who thought she was great!

    Planning the photo shoot was easy. Marcie was very flexible with dates, times and location.

    We really enjoyed the experience and are having difficulty choosing from so many great images."

    "Marcie Randall Photography" worked magic with the lens and made our entire family feel comfortable during our shoot."

    "Thank you for capturing such beautiful pictures of Henry and for being so patient with us during his photo session!”

    "Marcie is wonderful! Her kindness, humor, and patience made for an amazing photo shoot!"

    “Working with Marcie was great. She had so much patience, and was flexible about doing poses in different places and was very open to our suggestions. She understood that our son has special needs and did not try and rush at all. She made us all comfortable, and the result were an excellent set of family photos.”

    “I don't know how you managed to get him to look at the camera and smile because he rarely cooperates with photos.”

    "Your pictures were outstanding, you made a somewhat stressful day at the school in the past low key and fun and your patience with each child really helped to capture the personalities and beauty of all of the students. Kudos Marcie!"
