Hey there!
My name is Kelli, and I’m so excited you’re here! I specialize in artistic high school senior photography in Austin, Texas. We live in such a natural and eclectic city; how fun would it be to explore while creating incredible images together? Being young, carefree, and full of future dreams, this is the time to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished!
The first step is to schedule a call with a parent or guardian to discuss senior session options. We’ll also discuss your interests, location and wardrobe ideas, and any special requests. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have, and if you choose to book a session, we’ll schedule your planning session.
Let's plan your dream session!

Picture Perfect
When blended professionally, your session location mixed with a touch of pampering and style will create magazine-worthy images! Our team of experts will take care of you every step of the way, so you can relax and enjoy a stress-free portrait experience.
Wardrobe
Retro, Couture, or girl-next-door? During your planning consultation, we’ll design your wardrobe to match your unique personality and help you accessorize multiple looks. Styling your outfits is the first step in preparing for your big day and must be complete before finalizing locations. In addition, your clothing should highlight your best features on session day, helping you feel confident and look incredible!
Deep in the Heart of Texas
Searching for the perfect portrait location is my favorite planning step! Waterfalls, wildflowers, sunsets, or urban walls – you name it, I’ll find it. I love to explore, and I’m always up for new adventures. We are not your cookie-cutter studio, and I promise to offer at least one original location simply for you. Trust me, I’ve got you covered!
Treat Yourself!
I believe in authenticity, and my makeup artist knows how to enhance your natural beauty. You can choose a soft-neutral look, add bold colors or even go all-out glam – it’s entirely up to you! Your stylist will match your makeup to the tones in your wardrobe, ensuring you’ll look amazing in all of your portraits.
Now Scheduling the Class of 2025 Seniors!
senior artwork
In this digital age where images are quickly lost in social media feeds, I want something different for you. I want your grandchildren to hold a handmade album that tells the story of their heritage, tying generations together and sparking conversations about what’s most important in life.
There’s a profound difference between scrolling through photos on your phone and viewing a fine-art portrait on your wall. As a full-service studio, we’ll guide you through the entire process from the initial consultation to designing an heirloom album or framed portrait ready to adorn your walls. Our custom artwork is an investment in your family’s legacy, and each piece is handmade to last a lifetime.
We offer three types of senior portrait sessions in Central Texas.

Q+A
Approximately one to two weeks after your session, we will meet for your ordering session. During this meeting, you’ll review a slideshow of the best images from your session. I’ll help you decide which products you would like to order based on your favorite images and artwork preferences. Please allow 14 business days (M-F) for image retouching and digital file delivery. Albums and wall art typically take an additional 4-6 weeks for design, production and final delivery.
The best way to guarantee a Hello Life Senior Session is to schedule a complimentary phone consultation today. Before scheduling, I will need to discuss session options with a parent or guardian and senior to confirm I’m the right photographer for you and your family. I accept a limited amount of seniors per season to provide a quality experience for each client, and many clients book months in advance.
This really depends on how you would like to display your artwork in your home. Albums are our most popular senior product because they tell the story of your senior year and include all of your favorite images from the session.
Parents often choose wall art for their home and seniors love to have social-media sized digital files!
In addition to our most popular albums and wall artwork, we also offer additional products including custom-designed graduation announcements, collages, and gift prints.
Hello Life senior photoshoots are often held on weekday mornings or evenings, Monday-Thursday. We know the best times to schedule each location based on lighting patterns and crowds, and will be happy to discuss options during your planning meeting to find the best fit for you and your schedule.
Weekend options are available for our Luxe Senior Experience sessions at specific locations – please inquire for availability, as these book fast!
We accept cash, personal checks, and credit card payments via Square or PayPal.
The session fee is due at the time of booking to reserve your session and schedule your planning consultation. You will receive an email with a link to finalize your payment online.
