Your senior session isn’t just about pictures — it’s about celebrating you. Who you are right now, the style you love, and the story you’re ready to tell.
I’m Kara, a senior photographer serving York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Hershey PA. My sessions are laid-back, full of laughs, and designed to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
- Personalized location suggestions — from gardens and downtown vibes to hidden gems across York, Lancaster, Hershey & Harrisburg, I’ll help you find the perfect backdrop that matches your style.
- Wardrobe guidance so you feel confident and camera-ready in every outfit.
- A session experience that’s relaxed, fun, and focused on you — no stiff posing, just natural moments.
- Photos that feel like your personality and story, not a cookie-cutter session.
When you book your senior session with me, you’re not just getting photos — you’re getting the full Kara Michelle experience. That means:
The Senior Session Guide → tips, outfit ideas, and prep info so you feel 100% confident.
The Senior Lookbook → my hand-picked collection of outfit inspo that photographs beautifully.
2 hours of session time with 2–3 outfit changes and 2–3 locations that reflect your vibe.
A session that’s fun, relaxed, and all about capturing you right now.
Your senior year is all about big dreams, late-night laughs, and memories you’ll never forget. Let’s capture it all in photos that feel as fun and one-of-a-kind as you are.

Senior FAQ's
When should I book senior photos?
Late summer to early fall of senior year is best (July–October). But winter and spring sessions are great too depending on your style.
Can we shoot at more than one location?
Yes! If you’d like multiple outfits or locations (like your high school, a park, or a coffee shop), I’ll help plan the perfect flow.
What should I wear?
Be yourself! Bring a few outfits you love and feel confident in. I’ll help narrow them down and suggest colors that photograph best.
Can a parent or friend come along?
Definitely. It’s fun to have someone there for support (and hype!).
