senior year happens once
 
Of all the do-overs in life, senior year only happens one time.
Not again.
Not later.
Not someday.
This season deserves to be preserved with care, intention, and artistry.
 
 
how the senior experience works
 
step one
Discovery & Studio Tour
Most families find Melanie through referrals, social media, or word of mouth, then are invited into the studio for a private tour. During this visit, you will explore finished artwork, albums, and wall art, discuss your goals, and ensure the experience is the right fit.
This is where the relationship begins.
step two
Custom Planning & Styling
Every session begins with a personalized planning meeting designed around your senior’s personality, interests, and vision. Styling support includes access to the studio style closet and a FaceTime outfit review prior to the session.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is generic. Every detail is thoughtfully curated.
step three
The Portrait Experience
Senior girls begin with professional hair and makeup by Rosy, followed by a fully guided session designed to feel relaxed, confident, and effortless.
Sessions typically include a mix of studio portraits and on-location settings such as the beach, open fields, or urban spaces, always incorporating meaningful personal elements that reflect who your senior truly is.
No modeling experience required. Just trust the process.
step four
Your Private Viewing
Approximately one week later, you will return for a private reveal and ordering appointment. This is where you view your images for the first time and select your custom collection, including albums, wall art, and announcements. Packages start at $895.
This moment is often emotional, meaningful, and unforgettable.
step five
The Final Presentation
Final retouching is completed within two weeks. Your custom albums, announcements, and wall art are then carefully prepared and presented in signature Melanie Robertson Photography packaging, ready for pickup in the studio.
Your story, now preserved.
