"Karly was extremely accommodating and sweet. My daughter adored her as well as her kindness. They seemed to click so well! Not only is Karly personable but she is so sweet. She welcomed our whole family to my daughter’s senior session without any issue. I wish I could give 10 stars ✨"
Personable and kind

"Karly took amazing photographs of my daughter for her high school graduation. Karly was fun and put us at ease right away which allowed her to catch some really great photos. Karly has a great ability to identify great spots in a location she wasn't familiar with. She also was very intentional in her use of sunlight to enhance the photos. Highly recommend and am trying to think of other reasons for her to take more photos of my family!"
highly recommend!

Kind Words from Past Clients
when should i book senior portraits?
Most high school senior portraits in Martinsburg, WV are booked during late Spring, Summer, or early Fall of senior year. College seniors typically schedule college senior portraits in the Spring before graduation. Booking early ensures the best seasonal light and more flexibility with dates.
where do senior portraits take place?
Senior portraits take place outdoors, in meaningful locations, or at carefully chosen spots that match your style. I help select locations for senior portraits in Martinsburg, WV and surrounding areas. If you have a special place in mind, just ask!
I don't feel photogenic. Will you help with that?
Absolutely. Most seniors feel this way at first. I guide you through natural posing and movement so your senior portraits feel relaxed and confident, never stiff or forced.
do you offer senior portraits outside of martinsburg, wv?
Yes. I serve senior portrait clients throughout West Virginia, Maryland, and the tri-state area, including both high school and college seniors.
how many images will i receive?
Each senior portrait gallery includes a variety of images—classic portraits parents love to frame and modern, natural photos seniors enjoy sharing. Your gallery will be versatile, polished, and easy to use for both print and social media.
Can we include sports, hobbies, or achievements in senior portraits?
Yes! I love styling senior portrait sessions around each student’s interests and accomplishments—whether that includes sports uniforms, musical instruments, academic honors, or future career plans.
how do we book senior portraits?
To book your senior portraits, simply reach out through the contact page. I’ll walk you through planning, styling, and scheduling your session from start to finish.

For a full one hour family session, you’ll receive a full gallery of at least 50 carefully edited images. For 30 minute sessions, you'll receive 10 images with option to purchase additional digitals. I believe in giving you plenty to love.
what time of day do you shoot?
I typically photograph families during golden hours, when the light is soft, warm, and flattering. This usually falls 1-2 hours before sunset. It’s worth the bedtime shuffle — promise.
