The Perfect Edit

I believe in images that aren't over edited.

All of your senior pictures are hand retouched to enhance the color, contrast and include the signature SBP edit. While I work to make sure you look your very best, your images won't look overly Photoshopped and will still look like the best version of you.

02

The Products

I believe in offering archive-quality photo products that you'll want to show off.

At SBP, I work with every senior to custom design your photo products so you don't have to worry about doing it without an expert's help. I offer a variety of archive quality photo products such as leather bound albums, custom designed image boxes, luxe designer USB boxes and drives loaded with your digital files and even your own custom mobile app. I believe that your senior photos should last and that's why I offer photo products that will stay with you for generations to come.

03

Location & Wardrobe

You're unique, and your senior session should be too.

Every SBP Senior session is unique to you. I believe that your photos should reflect you and your personality through your outfits and location. Each session begins with working to style the perfect wardrobe for your session. I then work to find locations that match your vision so that your outfits look like they were designed to be photographed in that very location and your pictures come out better than you could have envisioned!

04

Hair & Makeup

I believe in enhancing your natural beauty, not changing what you look like.

As an SBP Senior, every session comes complete with professional hair and makeup to start out your session. Having your hair and makeup done professionally is so important to the outcome of your pictures. Our team of amazing makeup artists works with you to make sure your makeup is exactly what you're looking. This ensures that you are camera ready and looking like your absolute best, natural self.

If you don't want to wear much makeup? Perfect! My artists will work with you to make sure that you're looking polished with the perfect "no makeup" look. We work to make sure every senior looks exactly how they want to look during their session.

Not only that, but every SBP Senior has the chance to bring their professional hair and makeup artist on-location so that you can change up your hair and makeup to make sure that no two single images are the same.

05

This is Your Day

Senior photos should be one of your best memories from all of senior year, and it's my promise to make that happen.

This day is truly your day. That's why I want go all out to make sure that you look back and have memories that last a lifetime.

Whether it's prepping you in advance for your session so that you come in feeling confident and stress-free for your shoot or bringing your best friend along to your photoshoot so that you can get photos and form those memories together, it all comes down to making sure this becomes one of the best parts of your senior year when you look back at this time in your life.

It was so cool to have my own make up artist and wardrobe options for the day. Sean helped me pick out all my outfits while also sending me resources to know what I need to get done before my photos. All the locations were customized to what I was looking for and were so stunning. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend it to incoming Seniors!

Yes. Sean helps every SBP Senior choose locations that fit their personality, outfits, and vision for their senior pictures. With access to a wide variety of locations throughout Vancouver, Portland, and the surrounding area, each session is planned to feel unique instead of looking like everyone else’s senior photos.

At the start of every senior portrait session, you’ll receive a Welcome Packet in the mail that includes planning materials like the What to Wear Guide. You’ll also receive access to Client HQ, an online portal with preparation materials, quizzes, and guides that help walk you through what to bring, what locations you like, how to plan outfits, and more. You’ll also have direct access to Sean by phone or email so you feel supported through the entire planning process.

Each senior portrait session typically begins a few hours before sunset, so the exact start time changes throughout the year as sunset times shift in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR.

It is best to book senior photos several months in advance, especially for popular summer and fall dates in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR.
