In Studio Senior Portraits

Some of the most striking senior portraits are created right here in my Grover Beach studio. With clean backdrops, bold color, and beautifully controlled light, the studio is the perfect place for dramatic, editorial senior portraits — no matter the season or the weather outside.

In-studio sessions give us complete creative control. We can play with vibrant gel lighting, classic black and white, and clean modern looks that put all the focus on you. It is a relaxed, comfortable experience that produces timeless, magazine-worthy images you will be proud to display.

What's Included in Your Senior Session

Every senior session with Amy Marlan Photography is a full, all-inclusive experience. No surprises, no hidden fees — just an amazing time and portraits you will love. Here is what you can expect.

Style Consultation

Before your session, we meet to plan every detail — your outfits, locations, and creative direction. I want your portraits to feel like you, not a cookie-cutter template. You will leave our consultation feeling excited and confident about session day.

Multiple Outfit Changes

Bring three to five looks and we will capture a range of styles that show off different sides of your personality. From casual and carefree to dressed up and polished, variety makes for the most dynamic portrait collection.

1.5 to 2.5 Hour Session

1.5 to 2.5 hour session depending on your selected experience. I never rush a senior session, we will take our time to capture the look you are after.

Professional Editing

Every image is individually edited with my signature style — clean, natural, and timeless. No heavy filters or trendy effects that will look dated in a few years. Just beautiful, polished portraits that stand the test of time.

Design Session

Two to three weeks after your session, you and your family visit the studio to see your images on a large screen. Together we select favorites and design custom products. This is one of the most exciting parts of the experience.

Custom Products

From stunning graduation announcements and wall portraits to designer albums, every product is professionally printed and finished to last a lifetime. These are real, tangible pieces of art that your family will treasure.
