Senior year... the late-night study sessions, the countdown to graduation, the big dreams and even bigger plans. It’s a moment in time that only comes once, and let’s be real — it deserves more than a blurry selfie or a phone pic your mom made you take in the backyard. 🎓📸
At Noah’s Ark Photography, we believe senior portraits should be an experience — a full-blown celebration of who you are right now and where you’re headed. Whether you’re the quiet bookworm, the outgoing athlete, the creative soul, or a little mix of everything, we’re here to help you tell your story through jaw-dropping, confidence-boosting, totally you images.
So, if you’re wondering what senior portraits with us are like… buckle up, friend. We’re about to spill the tea on why we love photographing seniors and how we turn your session into something unforgettable.
Your senior session is about so much more than pretty pictures (although yes, we’re going to make sure you look 🔥). It’s about freezing this season in time — the one filled with excitement, change, and a little bit of “OMG what’s next?!”
Our senior sessions are customized to fit your vibe. Want something bold and edgy? Let’s make it happen. Prefer soft and natural with golden light and flowy dresses? You got it. Want to bring your guitar, your dog, or your BFF? YES PLEASE.
We love collaborating with you to create a shoot that feels like you on your very best day.
Listen, you don’t have to know how to pose. You don’t need to be confident in front of the camera. You don’t need to worry if your outfit is right (we help with that, too!).
All you need to do is show up as yourself.
We walk you through everything from start to finish — posing, outfit ideas, how to bring your personality into the session, even what to do with your hands (yes, we’ve heard that one a million times). 😄
The magic happens when you start to relax, laugh, and realize — “Hey, I can do this.” And trust us, by the end of your session, you’re going to be feeling like a straight-up superstar.
We can’t tell you how many seniors (and parents) walk away from a session saying, “That was actually fun!” — and that’s the goal.
We live for those moments when you see the back of the camera and gasp. When you do a little happy dance because you nailed that pose. When you realize that the person in the photo is you — and you look amazing.
That’s the stuff that fills our cup. We’re not just taking photos… we’re celebrating you.
We’re Elizabeth and Aaron, the husband-and-wife duo behind Noah’s Ark Photography, and we’ve been capturing life’s biggest moments for over 15 years. We’ve raised five amazing kids, launched two photography brands, and we get how fast this season goes.
Senior portraits are one of our absolute favorite parts of what we do. They’re fun, creative, emotional, and inspiring — all wrapped into one session. Plus, every single senior is different, and that means every shoot is a new adventure.
One minute we’re photographing a softball player sliding into home plate, the next we’re dancing through wildflowers with a future artist or capturing the exact moment a shy smile turns into full-blown laughter.
We’ve got the lights, the lenses, the locations — but most of all, we’ve got the heart. This isn’t just a job for us. It’s a passion. And you better believe we bring our A-game every single time.
We shoot senior sessions across Minnesota, from the Iron Range to the Twin Cities. Think urban alleyways, forest trails, downtown skylines, rooftop vibes, golden fields, lakeside reflections — if you can dream it, we can make it happen.
And don’t worry — we chase that perfect light like it’s our full-time job (because, well… it is). We shoot at the best times of day to give your photos that warm, glowy, dreamy look that’s basically Instagram gold.
We know prepping for your senior session can feel a little overwhelming — but we make it super easy. After you book, we send you a full session guide with outfit tips, do’s and don’ts, inspiration, and ideas for what to bring.
We even help you pick your outfits if you need it. Want to wear your prom dress? Awesome. Your jersey? Bring it. A cozy sweater and boots? Heck yes.
This is your session, your style, your story. We're here to help you show it off.
Once the confetti settles and your session wraps up, we don’t just send you a zip file and say “good luck.” Nope. We meet with you in person to walk through your images, help you select your favorites, and design custom artwork for your home (and for Grandma, of course).
Think wall portraits, albums, graduation announcements, metal prints, and more. You worked hard to get to this moment — let’s make sure it’s remembered beautifully.
We know senior year is emotional for you, too. (Go ahead, we’ve got tissues handy.)
This isn’t just a photo session — it’s a keepsake of who your child is before they step into the next chapter. You’re watching them grow up right before your eyes, and we’re here to help you hold onto this amazing, in-between season just a little longer.
We’ll guide you and your senior every step of the way. No stress, no confusion, no Pinterest boards needed. Just real, heartfelt memories captured with care.
If you’ve been searching for a senior photographer who truly gets your teen — someone who can create an experience that’s fun, easy, and all about celebrating them — look no further.
We can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and capture something truly incredible.
Senior year only happens once. Let’s capture it in a way that makes you say, “That’s so me.”
