At the University of Rochester where Jim Montanus was senior staff photographer, he specialized in environmental portraiture. Our Environmental portraiture services are also very cost effective, especially if you have several individuals at one location who need to be photographed.

High School Senior Portraits

Although we've taken portraits of some of the world's most famous people, we treat each and every senior portrait with the same attention to detail.... including yours.

What makes a great senior portrait? To answer this question, we listen to you, our clients. We hold regular information sessions in which high school seniors tell us what they want from their senior portraits. What do we think makes a great senior portrait?

Impeccable lightning technique
Years of experience posing models
Great backgrounds
Excellent photographic technique.
And, above all, the perfect expression.

Give us a call to discuss your senior portrait. You'll find that we are committed to your total satisfaction. And you'll be pleasantly surprised that we are an average of 50% less than other portrait studios in the area, while at the same time providing about twice as many proofs for comparable photo packages.
