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.

Senior Portraits · Del Norte County

What it actually looks like in Del Norte County.

A Del Norte County senior portrait photographer is usually shooting seniors from Del Norte High School or Smith River Charter, or families who want a more dramatic Pacific Northwest aesthetic than Humboldt's coastline offers. Crescent City speaks the same coastal language as Humboldt but at bigger scale, wider beaches, more dramatic Pacific weather, the Battery Point Lighthouse as a unique anchor.

We travel up from the Eureka studio for Del Norte senior sessions. Booking 2-3 weeks ahead is recommended, we don't have the same same-week flexibility for Del Norte that we do for Humboldt. Award-winning photography, multi-location coverage, fast turnaround for yearbook deadlines.

Where in Del Norte County

Battery Point Lighthouse

Iconic anchor location. Tide-dependent island access.
Crescent Beach

Long Pacific shoreline for wide editorial-scale portraits.
Smith River

What's Included

What you actually get with senior portraits.

A Filmmaker's Eye on Every Frame

Golden-hour light filtering through ancient redwoods, dramatic coastal cliffs at Trinidad, and the kind of shots that stop the scroll. Cinematic, never cookie-cutter.
Authentic. No Stiff Smiles

No awkward posing, no forced expressions. Every session is fun, relaxed, and built around the senior. Authentic portraits that capture exactly who you are at this moment.
Hand-Picked Locations Across Humboldt

Hidden coves on the Trinidad coastline, the exact redwood grove where the light hits at golden hour, the tucked-away spots in Ferndale most people drive right past, locations curated, intentional, exclusive.
Bring What Makes You You

Two to three outfit changes, casual, dressed up, and something that represents you. Letterman jacket, jersey, instrument, your truck. Earth tones and solids photograph beautifully against Humboldt's natural landscapes.
Senior Highlight Reels (optional)

Cinematic short-form video for seniors who want something extra to remember this chapter by, a 60-90 second piece that lives on Instagram and lasts forever.
Edited Online Gallery

Private password-protected gallery delivered in 2–3 weeks. Print-quality downloads + web-ready files. Yearbook deadlines prioritized when you have one.

Mary Keehn

Senior portrait client
“If you are looking for someone who will go the extra mile and capture your special moments, I highly recommend Tex Kelley Productions! He took my son's senior photos, and not only did the photos turn out amazing, but he also made sure it was a good experience. He has a passion for what he does, and it truly shows in his work.”

Rachel Gonzalez

“Tex Kelly is a one of a kind photographer and videographer. He had previously done work for St. Bernard's Academy as a videographer for a few football games, and the work is outstanding, second to none. He recently took senior photos for my son and they came out stellar! His availability and how he makes his clients feel at ease is one of the unique skills Tex possesses. Highly recommend.”
