Senior Portraits Las Vegas

Nowadays, senior pictures are about celebrating a life stage. It is the perfect way for many parents and students to freeze such an exciting time in the life of an older teen, ready to take the next steps in life. 

If you are in Las Vegas and need a senior photo session, there is no better place to go than Bartholomew Photography. We are the best studio in Las Vegas, specializing in senior portraits. We like to elevate senior portraits above the usual clichés by merging the senior portrait genre with fashion photography to create a hybrid genre. This results in more interesting photos than the usual “boy with a soccer ball” shot. In fact, a photo from one of our senior portrait sessions was published in Vogue Italia. We can certainly do the typical senior portraits, but we recommend also trying something that uses lighting, posing, and editing techniques from fashion photography.
