CLASS OF 2028
Your Senior Portraits are More Than One Picture
You deserve more than one day.
Introducing the Raymond James Photography
Senior Portrait Experience
Your Senior Portraits Are a Story Worth Telling
Most senior portraits capture an afternoon.
We Want To Capture More Of Who You Are.
Because senior year isn’t just about the day you have your senior portraits made.
It’s the friendships. The fashion. The activities and interests that have become part of who you are. And all those moments between the end of junior year and graduation.
That’s the idea behind the Raymond James Photography Senior Portrait Experience.
Instead of trying to tell your story in a single session, we create opportunities throughout the year to photograph the different sides of you.
Not one look. Not one location. Not one day.
Your portraits. Your story.
THE SENIOR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
More than a session. A story told in portraits.
THE BEGINNING
Spring of Junior Year
The Senior Portrait Experience begins before senior year ever arrives.
During the spring of junior year, our Class of 2028 participants will be invited to two exclusive creative portrait experiences, photographed in small groups of three or four participating seniors.
These aren’t traditional senior sessions. They’re designed to be social, creative and fun—a chance to experiment with different looks, meet other seniors participating in the experience and begin telling your story.
And there’s another side to the experience.
During the spring, we’ll also have opportunities for Lifestyle Photography—photographing the things you genuinely love doing and the interests that are already part of your life.
It might be a sporting event, dance, music, theater or something completely different. Rather than creating the setting, we’ll step into your world, combining candid moments with creative portraits that capture you doing something that matters to you.
And when the story calls for it, that coverage may extend beyond a single event, giving us the opportunity to capture more than one moment or experience that helps define who you are.
FOR THE GIRLS
Think fashion, beauty and a little bit of glamour.
One experience will focus on beautiful, contemporary headshot and beauty-style portraits, with makeup, accessories and styling helping to create a polished editorial look.
The second gives us permission to have even more fun—fashion, movement, dramatic lighting, favorite outfits, prom or formal gowns and ideas we create together.
Photographed alongside a few other Class of 2028 participants, these sessions should feel less like having senior pictures taken and more like being part of a fashion shoot.
FOR THE GUYS
We know most guys aren’t dreaming about spending an afternoon having their senior portraits made.
That’s okay.
Their spring experiences will be different.
Rather than fashion and glamour, we’ll create relaxed group sessions built around personality and interests—sports, cars and trucks, music, the outdoors, casual portraits or other ideas that actually make sense for the guys participating.
No forced fashion shoot. No trying to make him into somebody he isn’t.
Just great photographs in an experience that feels like him.
YOUR ULTIMATE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Summer Before Senior Year
Our most complete senior portrait experience.
The Ultimate Senior Portrait Experience is designed for the senior who wants it all—the time, variety and creative freedom to create a truly personal collection of portraits.
Rather than trying to create everything in a single afternoon, your Ultimate Experience allows you to choose from several different portrait styles and combine the ones that feel most like you. And when the photography calls for it, your experience can be divided between two different days, allowing us to photograph each setting at the right location, in the right light, at the right time.
Your senior portraits are completed before senior year begins—ready to enjoy and share as you begin this remarkable year.
PORTRAIT EXPERIENCES
Choose the experiences that tell your story.
THE STUDIO
Classic, contemporary and completely controlled.
THE BEACH
Sand, water, dunes and that beautiful evening light.

The mediterranean wall, rustic doorwall, vintage wall, open fields or the arched columns you choose.

A little bit of summer. A field of color. And you right in the middle of it.
ART IMAGING
Where portraiture becomes something more imaginative, dramatic and uniquely yours.
WATER
Whether it is our pool, spa, pond or the waterfall you will get wet so bring your towel.
THE ULTIMATE
Choose any or all of the sessions above, go on location to your home, farm or a walk about of Rehoboth Beach with this full day session.
Love one particular look?
The six portrait styles shown above are also available individually as à la carte senior portrait sessions, separate from the Senior Portrait Experience.
Choose the one that feels most like you, or enjoy several as part of Your Ultimate Portrait Experience.
À la carte sessions are offered at their individual session prices and are separate from the $495 Senior Portrait Experience and its included benefits.
MORE THAN A SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSION
Your senior portraits shouldn't be limited to one session, one day or one side of who you are.
A traditional senior portrait session is typically photographed on a single day. The Raymond James Senior Portrait Experience takes a different approach. Beginning before senior year, we have the time and creative freedom to photograph different looks, interests and experiences — creating a more complete portrait of who you are at this remarkable time in your life.
THE ADVANTAGE OF THE SENIOR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
WINTER & SPRING SESSIONS
Fashion-focused portrait opportunities begin before senior year, giving us different seasons, clothing and looks.
LIFESTYLE COVERAGE
A sport, activity or other meaningful part of your life gives us another opportunity to capture who you really are.
THE ULTIMATE SESSION
The centerpiece of your Senior Portrait Experience takes place during the summer before senior year begins, with time for multiple looks, locations and creative possibilities.
MORE VARIETY. LESS PRESSURE.
Instead of trying to create everything during a few hours on one particular day, we have multiple opportunities to create portraits with different clothing, settings, seasons and styles.
READY FOR DAY ONE
All of your photography takes place before senior year begins. When that first day arrives, you’ll already have portraits ready to share with friends and family.
THE SENIOR MAGAZINE
Your Senior Portrait Experience also includes the opportunity to be featured in our Senior Magazine — a special publication celebrating the seniors we photograph and the personalities, interests and experiences that make each of them unique.
THE SENIOR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
A $495 Creation Fee begins your Senior Portrait Experience.
The $495 Creation Fee covers your participation in the Senior Portrait Experience and the photography opportunities described above.
Portraits and artwork are purchased separately.
Because of the extensive photography and creative opportunities included in the Senior Portrait Experience, a minimum portrait purchase of $1,500 is required.
LIMITED TO 30 SENIORS
The Raymond James Senior Portrait Experience is intentionally limited to just 30 seniors each year. This allows us to devote the time, creativity and personal attention necessary to provide each senior with the complete experience we’ve described.
YOUR EXPERIENCE BEGINS WITH AN APPLICATION
Because every senior is different, we’d like to learn a little about you — your interests, activities, personality and what you’d love your senior portraits to say about you.
Your application is the first step toward creating a Senior Portrait Experience that’s uniquely yours.
