Confident, natural portraits that celebrate senior year — photographed in real life.

Senior year is a milestone worth documenting. Your senior portraits should feel genuine, stylish, relaxed, and true to who you are. No stiff poses. No heavy filters. Just clean, modern images that show your personality and confidence.

At BJ Thompson In Real Life Photography, I create meaningful senior portraits designed around YOU — your interests, your style, and your vision. Whether you want bold editorial portraits, soft natural light, or a mix of candid and classic photos, your session will feel comfortable, fun, and completely tailored to you.

How far in advance should I book my senior session?

Most seniors book 4–8 weeks ahead. Spring and early fall fill quickly.

You choose the location, or I can recommend UT Campus, Brushy Creek, Lady Bird Lake, South Congress, or your school campus.

Each package includes a different number of outfits, but you’re welcome to bring extras.

Yes! Bring anything that reflects your personality — sports gear, instruments, books, pets, cap & gown, or anything meaningful from your senior year.
