Are You Ready to Master Senior Photography?
Join me on this journey to creating stunning senior portraits, capturing timeless memories, and spreading joy in your community. As a Click Pro Elite, Unraveled Expert Artist, and Master of Senior Photography (NAPCP), I’ve spent over 10 years perfecting my craft, photographing 1,400+ seniors, and learning what it takes to make each session unforgettable. Now, I’m excited to share everything I know with you!
This course is designed for both new photographers breaking into the senior portrait niche and seasoned pros looking to elevate their portfolio and profits. I’ll guide you step by step, simplifying the process so you can master the art, business, and client experience of senior photography—all while creating financial freedom doing what you love.
What You’ll Learn:
In this course, you’ll gain the confidence and skills to create senior portraits that feel authentic, engaging, and truly showcase each senior’s personality.
We’ll dive into:

POC Skin Tone numbers (For both Senior and Family Shoots)
As mentioned before, different skin tones have different RGB numbers on your eyedropper target. In the following video, I am editing a person of color and talking about their skin tone numbers. For black skin tones, your Red numbers will be about 20-30 points away from your Blue numbers. For example, you may see 55, 45, 29 for dark skin and maybe 45, 35, 25 for very dark skin. Always be checking your SOOC image to be sure your colors are staying true to the person in front of your lens.

59x79 Reflector/Scrim
Can be found just about anywhere online. I use this particular one because of the scrim. It's large enough to have an assistant hold it for you to block light for headshots and portraits. And, of course, you can also use the white or gold for reflecting light on your subject should you need additional light. Check out the video to see its size next to me. I am 5'2".

Ringlight and Stand
This ring light is fabulous. It sits on my desk and I can use it right on my desk or it actually stands about my height, 5'2", when on the floor. So it's very versatile!

32" Reflector
This reflector is smaller, more portable, and can be held with one hand while you shoot with another if need be. I will attach a before after photo of using it in studio. Also, peek at the video to see it open and fold up.
