Which Prescott high schools do you shoot senior portraits for?

Prescott High School, Tri-City Prep, BASIS Prescott, Yavapai College, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University all book regularly. Yearbook-deadline turnaround prioritized. Print-quality files delivered in your school publisher's required dimensions.

Where in Prescott do you usually shoot senior portraits?

Watson Lake + Granite Dells is the most-requested location, otherworldly granite formations 10 minutes from downtown. Courthouse Plaza + Whiskey Row for historic editorial. Goldwater Lake for quieter family-included sessions. We scout based on the senior's style and what makes them stand out.

How long is a senior portrait session?

Standard sessions run 60 minutes to 2 hours, including 1–3 location changes and 2–3 outfit changes. Longer 'epic' sessions (half-day) are available for seniors who want to capture multiple settings, a redwood look, a coastal look, and a hometown look, across one production day.

Where do you shoot senior portraits?

Anywhere on the North Coast that means something to you. Common locations include Sequoia Park, Trinidad State Beach, Patrick's Point, Founders Grove, Halvorsen Park, downtown Eureka, the Avenue of the Giants, and the Lost Coast. Indoor sessions are available at our Eureka studio.

When should we schedule?

Senior portrait season peaks late summer through early fall (golden hour + fall colors). For best variety, schedule 6–10 weeks before yearbook deadlines. Spring senior sessions for class-of-following-year are also a popular alternative for less crowded locations.

What should the senior bring?

2–3 outfits (more for longer sessions), any meaningful props or items (instrument, jersey, pet, vehicle), and snacks/water. Tex sends a full prep guide once we book, including outfit suggestions, location-specific notes, and a timeline for the session day.

How long until we get the gallery?

Edited galleries are delivered in 2–3 weeks for standard sessions. Print orders and yearbook-ready files can be expedited if there's a deadline, let Tex know up front.

Tex Kelly, senior portraits for Prescott, Arizona

Hi. I'm Tex.

Welcome to senior season, Prescott edition.

I'm a North Coast filmmaker and photographer, voted Humboldt County's Best. Senior portraits in Prescott are some of my favorite sessions of the year, your hometown deserves a senior shoot that actually looks like Prescott, not a generic studio backdrop you could be anywhere.

My job is to make you (or your senior) feel completely comfortable, then put you in front of the most cinematic light Prescott and the surrounding Yavapai County have to offer. No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just real, beautiful, intentional portraits worth printing big.

A note from Prescott

Cinematic senior portrait sessions in Prescott, Arizona. Watson Lake granite formations, Goldwater Lake, Courthouse Plaza, and Whiskey Row historic backdrops. Prescott High, Mile High Middle/Mt. Trumbull alumni, and Yavapai College students booked regularly.

The Approach

Senior portraits in Prescott. Made for this place.

The Prescott location

Prescott backdrops, picked on purpose.

Prescott senior portraits are uniquely photogenic. Watson Lake and the Granite Dells provide otherworldly granite + reflective-water portrait backdrops 10 minutes from downtown. Courthouse Plaza and Whiskey Row offer historic-Arizona editorial style. Goldwater Lake adds forested mountain settings for quieter family-included sessions. Mile-high climate (5,400 ft) keeps lighting clean year-round.

Senior Portraits, Prescott, Arizona — Golden-hour senior session, Yavapai County.

The Prescott session

No stiff poses. No fake smiles.

Prescott High School, Tri-City Prep, BASIS Prescott, and Yavapai College senior portraits all book regularly, along with home-school networks. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University graduation portraits are a steady spring booking. Award-winning photography, 2-3 week delivery, yearbook-ready files in your publisher's dimensions.

The Yavapai County scouting advantage

Built for Prescott. Scouted for years.

Watson Lake and the Granite Dells are the most-requested Prescott senior portrait location because they're genuinely unique, granite domes meeting reflective water in a way that doesn't exist anywhere else in Arizona. Knowing which trailhead drops in closer to the iconic island formation, which time of day the rocks turn the warmest red-orange, and which permit zones to avoid for unpermitted commercial sessions is local knowledge no Phoenix-based photographer brings to a Prescott shoot.

Class of 2027, Prescott

The Editing Process

Months in the edit suite, curating the story.

A wedding film isn't shot in a day, it's made over months. Hours of raw cinema footage, multi-camera audio, drone aerial, and second-shooter coverage get assembled, color-graded, and scored frame by frame in the edit suite.

Every transition is intentional. Every cut earns its keep. The goal is a film couples actually want to re-watch, not a montage of clips. That kind of editorial discipline is the difference between a wedding film and a wedding highlight reel, and it's why these turnarounds run weeks instead of days.
