Creative Senior Portrait Photography for amazing teens in Rhode Island
Not your average senior photos—because you’re not the average senior!
We get it—your senior wants anything but another awkward yearbook picture with the “lean-and-smile” pose and that weird cloudy blue backdrop.
That’s why we keep it real.
At Rhode Island Portraits, we create bold, scroll-stopping senior photos packed with personality, color, and style. No forced smiles. No cookie-cutter vibes. Just images that feel exactly like them—cool, confident, and totally unique.
Because this isn’t just a school photo. It’s their story.
Here’s what we want you (and your senior) to know:
You call the shots.
From how long your session is to where it takes place—you’re in charge. Want to shoot downtown? At the beach? In your favorite sneakers or dressed to the nines? Let’s make it happen.
It’s all about you.
We’ll guide you every step of the way—what to wear, how to pose, and how to feel confident in front of the camera. Your session is completely personalized to match your vibe and your vision.
This is more than just a photo shoot—it’s a memory.
Long after the tassel’s been flipped, the yearbook’s signed, and the party’s over, you’ll remember this moment. Your senior portraits will remind you exactly who you were at this incredible time in your life—and I’ll be there to make sure it’s an experience worth remembering.

What you want to know…
-
We recommend booking your senior’s portrait session between late spring and early fall—anytime from May through October. Our most popular time is in the summer - June through August. This gives us the best natural light, lush green backdrops, or beautiful fall foliage. Booking early also ensures we have time to reschedule in case of weather, and that your photos are ready before yearbook deadlines or graduation announcements.
-
Most families book 2–3 months in advance, especially for popular summer and fall dates. Our calendar fills up quickly, so booking early guarantees you get your preferred session time. This is especially important if your senior has a packed schedule with sports, college visits, or extracurriculars.
-
As residents of the Ocean State, we’re incredibly lucky to have so many stunning backdrops ! Some of our favorite senior portrait locations include:
Roger Williams Park in Providence – classic architecture, gardens, and water views
Colt State Park in Bristol – coastal, wide open fields and ocean views
Downtown Providence – for a more modern, urban vibe. The murals scene is unrivaled in Providence.
Beaches like Narragansett or Second Beach in Middletown – soft light and relaxed, natural scenes
Private property or your own backyard – sometimes home is where the best memories are
If you’re unsure, have no fear! We’ll chat before your session to choose the perfect spot that fits your senior’s personality.
-
Our Sessions typically last about 60 to 90 minutes. This gives us enough time in the session for multiple outfit changes, different locations if desired, and for your senior to settle in and feel comfortable. We’ll never rush—it’s all about creating a relaxed, fun experience.
-
We encourage 2–3 outfit changes—a mix of casual, dressy, and personal style. Neutrals and soft colors photograph beautifully outdoors, but bold colors can be great too, depending on location. We’ll send you a prep guide with wardrobe tips and examples so your senior looks and feels their best.
-
Absolutely! Props like musical instruments, sports gear, or college swag are a great way to personalize the session. We want these portraits to reflect your senior’s personality, achievements, and interests.
-
You’ll receive a proofing gallery within 7 business days of your session. From there, you’ll choose your favorite images for final edits. We offer a range of products from digital collections to prints and heirloom albums, and we’ll walk you through everything. Your senior’s images are a celebration—let’s make sure they’re beautifully preserved.
