Photographer in the world, 3 years in a row.
Internationally award-winning images.
Photographs taken, and counting.
Fair question
Why us?
Out of everyone in town with a camera and a Facebook page.
The light
Anybody can find good light and tell you to smile. We bring professional lighting and make something out of the ordinary.
The session
The poses come out of who you are, not a list. You feel like yourself, and end up looking like a movie poster.
The reveal
No link to scroll through on a phone. The screen comes on, your portraits come up the size of a wall, and we stay to help you choose what goes home.
We take amazing photos because it makes us feel alive. You’ll see that even before the first image.
The work
Bold. Cinematic. Effortlessly you.

Who you get
We’re Jeff & Alisha. You get both of us.
Not one photographer juggling everything. Two, the whole afternoon — Jeff on direction and light, Alisha on posing. Your student never has to figure out what to do next. We take every planning call ourselves.
Two people. One vision. Zero compromises.
MEET JEFF & ALISHAHow it works
The experience is the product.
Four steps. Zero stress. One experience you’ll never forget.
The highlight film
We capture what happens between the photographs.
The laughter, the glance, the energy a still image can’t hold — a seamless blend of still and motion. Something no one else is doing.
The artwork
A file gets opened twice.
A photograph gets lived with.
Designed with you at the reveal, handcrafted in Europe, hanging in your home in four to six weeks — we hang it for you.

The investment
Simple, and guaranteed.
The $300 session fee reserves your date, covers your planning call, the session and your theater reveal — and applies in full toward your artwork; most clients invest $1,500 or more.
If you are not genuinely obsessed with your images, the session fee comes back. All of it. (We’ve never had to do this.)

Beyond seniors

Families
The same two-person session, built for a room full of people who claim they hate photos.

Headshots and personal branding with the same cinematic eye — not the gray-backdrop kind.

Your questions, answered.
How much do senior pictures cost?
The $300 session fee reserves your date, covers your planning call, the session and your theater reveal — and applies in full toward your artwork; most clients invest $1,500 or more.
How long is a session?
Generally 2.5 to 3 hours — enough time for multiple locations and outfits without ever feeling rushed.
Do you retouch the images?
Every image is individually enhanced — background, clothing, skin, eyes, teeth — not run through a preset.
When do we get everything?
Editing takes about 2–3 weeks. Finished wall art and albums arrive from our artisans in Europe in about 4–6 weeks.
If a friend sent you
They were right.
We help seniors see who they’re becoming — right before the world does.

La Crosse, Wisconsin · Senior portraits
Most senior portraits look exactly alike. Yours won’t.
Your student
They know exactly who they are.
The photos should show that person — not a pose they’d never stand in or a smile they’d never wear.
Most photographers pose people. We pay attention to them.

The plan
01
The Planning Call
We design the session around your son or daughter: who they are, what they love, and where the finished art might hang. You leave with a plan, not a guess.

The Session
We build the light and the posing together. Within minutes it feels less like a shoot and more like an afternoon someone happens to be documenting.

03
The Theater Reveal
You see your images the way they deserve to be seen: large, in person, together. We design your wall art and albums right there in the room.
