Best Senior Portrait Photographers 2023

Congratulations to all college and high school seniors on your upcoming graduation! What an incredible accomplishment! We are honored to be named as one of the best senior portrait photographers in Charlottesville, and are celebrating with a look back at our best senior portraits from 2023!

Senior portraits are more than just photographs; they are timeless memories that encapsulate a pivotal chapter in one’s life. We love that this has become an important tradition for both high school senior portraits, and in recent years, UVA college senior portraits too! Our collection of the best senior portraits from 2023 showcases some incredible locations, fun moments shared with friends, and even an appearance by a local celebrity, UVA Men’s Basketball coach Tony Bennett! You never know who you’ll run into at UVA during your college senior portraits!

For the best senior portrait photographers, spring is a popular time to photograph UVA seniors. The University of Virginia grounds offer a picturesque backdrop for capturing memorable moments set amongst iconic locations like the Rotunda and Lawn. We often encourage friends to join in the session for a few fun pictures of everyone in their cap and gown, plus we love popping a bottle of champagne for a little extra fun celebration! This makes for some of the best graduation photos!

As summer arrives, it is a popular time for rising High school seniors to take advantage of the summer break and schedule a senior photoshoot! We love IX Park, which provides a unique and colorful backdrops that add lots of artistic elements and cool urban vibes to our portraits! Other popular locations like Hazy Mountain, local orchards, and Ravens Roost Overlook, provide breathtaking mountain views for the best senior portrait sessions too!
