My Approach

I have a calling to pour into teenagers, help them discover that they are truly special and beautiful.  I strive to be their cheerleader and encourage them before, during and after their session.  And of course capturing their unique personality in their portraits.   

My Mission

I'll Be Your Guide

I am in all of the details, from the perfect locations to the perfect outfits all the way to the perfect portrait collection to treasure for a lifetime.  I remove the stress by having everything planned out so all we have to do is have a blast during their session.

Celebrating Senior Year is HUGE!  These high school seniors deserve to be pampered, and I strive to make it more that just an hour of feeling special.  I want them to feel welcome and pampered from the very beginning at our first face time call.

About your

Welcome to the ultimate Raleigh senior portrait experience in the Raleigh, NC area!

At Jenn McKinney Photography, I believe in making every moment unforgettable, starting with getting to know my seniors personally to create a tailored, one-of-a-kind session just for them. With a location gallery boasting over 30 stunning spots, I guarantee to find the perfect backdrop to showcase their unique style and personality.

But that's just the beginning. Step into my downtown Raleigh studio for a VIP treatment like no other. My talented hair and makeup artists will work their magic while I steam their outfits, ensuring every detail is picture-perfect. And what's a photoshoot without some fun? I've got a snack and beverage session set up, where we'll jam to their favorite tunes as they get pampered.
 
Once they're camera-ready, it's time to hit the streets! Whether it's the bustling energy of Fayetteville Street or the cool vibes of my historic studio, every location is a canvas waiting to capture their essence. And after a day of feeling like royalty, I'll make sure they end on a high note with heading back to Downtown Raleigh for at a fabulous dinner.

But the excitement doesn't end there. Expect sneak peeks of their session on social media, building anticipation for the big reveal. About a week later, they'll return to the studio for an unforgettable reveal session, complete with a gag reel filled with laughter and memories.
