High School Senior Photography in Akron, Ohio

 

Real Moments. Big Energy. Zero Boring Poses.

 

You’ve made it!

Senior year.


This chapter deserves more than a cookie-cutter photo shoot in front of a fake bookshelf backdrop. I’m here to help you celebrate everything that makes you, you — whether that’s sneakers and street style downtown, hiking boots and golden hour in the Cuyahoga Valley, or showing off your creative spark in your own element.


Let’s tell your story — no stiff smiles or awkward hand-on-tree poses required.



Inclusive. Confidence-Fueled.


Hey, I’m Art — a senior photographer based in Akron, and your new hype man.

I specialize in high school senior sessions that feel fun, personal, and actually reflect who you are. Whether you’re bookish, artsy, outdoorsy, loud AF, or quietly powerful — I got you.

Sessions That Break the Mold



Let’s skip the stuffy poses and create something personal. These aren’t just senior photos — they’re a time capsule of who you are right now. Choose a location that speaks to you and we’ll build a session around your style, story, and vibe.


Downtown Urban Vibes

Bold colors, city textures, and modern portraiture that pops.


Nature + Golden Hour

Sun-drenched fields, forest trails, riverside reflections — calm, dreamy, grounded.


Creative + Conceptual

Let’s go full personality mode — from sports to studio lighting to cosplay. This is your shoot, your way.

The Senior Photo Experience

Here’s how it all goes down no stress, no awkwardness, just real photos of the real you.


I’m not about cookie-cutter portraits or forced smiles. This is your time to shine — whether you’re loud and proud, a little introverted, artsy, athletic, queer, punk, preppy, or still figuring it all out (same, honestly). Your senior photos should look and feel like you — not like someone you saw on Pinterest.

FAQ (Because You’ve Got Questions)

What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?

Totally normal — and honestly, expected. Most of my seniors show up feeling a little nervous, but we warm up fast. I’ll guide you the whole time so it feels more like hanging out and less like posing.

FAQ (Because You’ve Got Questions)

Do you retouch or edit the photos?

Yes! Every final image is hand-edited for color, light, and vibe. I remove temporary blemishes (hello, senior-year stress acne), but I keep everything that makes you you. No fake skin, no body morphing — just honest, polished photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we shoot at more than one location?

Absolutely. If you’ve got two spots in mind — say, downtown Akron and your favorite trail — we can split the session and travel between. Just let me know ahead of time so we plan for lighting and travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heck yes! Bring your instrument, skateboard, soccer ball, comic books — whatever tells your story. I’m here for it.

FAQ (Because You’ve Got Questions)

When should I book my session?

Most seniors book 2–4 months in advance, especially for prime fall dates. If you want golden hour leaves or spring flowers, don’t wait too long!
