The YBS brand features bold, personality forward photography, but if you go behind the scenes at one of our sessions, you will catch us laughing, creating inside jokes, listening to music, and just having fun!
We firmly believe that the best senior photography is created in a relaxed environment where you are comfortable and free to be your most authentic self. We call it "effortlessly upscale," that zone where our artistry and experience meets your personality and individuality.
So grab your bff, turn up the music, and let's go!

Effortlessly
Young & Brave Seniors is all about creating photography that showcases your unique personality and individuality! The things that make you you. So we want to learn all about you!
We create a relaxed and comfortable environment for you to express what you want from your senior session, then we make it happen! Each of our seniors receives a level of personal attention that truly sets us apart in senior photography.
01 -get to know you!
02 - the planning sesh
Once we have an idea of what you are looking for, we schedule an in-person OR video call meeting to plan your session and make sure everyone is on the same page with all of the details.
This is a super relaxed meeting where we talk about different ideas, help you choose your outfits, and pick some locations we would like to shoot. But we always leave a little room to be spontaneous!
We are photojournalists at heart. Which means we LOVE candid photography! Our "active posing" process is not like what you are probably used to. Without giving everything away, we don't believe in overly posed photography. It's just not our thing.
We also love editorial photography or telling stories. The vibe of a session or a particular look is super important! That's why planning is crucial.
03 - Posing . . . but different
We feature two professional photographers at every session!
This is definitely something different in the world of photography. Two artistic, personable, interactive photographers at your session - capturing different angles, different perspectives of every look, location, and outfit.
Which means more and better photos for you to choose from at your Photo Debut!
04 -two photographers
05 - Photo debut
About 2 weeks after your session we have you visit us in the studio where you get to see your senior portraits for the first time! We go through each photo and pick out your favorites. Then we decide which ones you would like to order.
You can see samples of everything that we have and we can even start designing your album!
let's connect
As soon as you have a date on our calendar we start helping you prepare for your session. Our seniors have access to the YBS CLIENT HUB, where they can find a ton of information that helps them to prepare for their senior portrait shoot.
You can download our What to Wear Guide to keep on hand for when you are selecting your outfits, or you can browse the information on the best beauty routines, how to pick your nail polish, or even how to accessorize for the big day!
