Metro detroit's premier senior portrait experience

For seniors who want an elevated experience, magazine worthy photos and stress-free vibes.

hello

I'm Kelli, a former Art Director and Senior Photographer with 19 years of experience. Everyone deserves an awesome senior portrait experience. It's my job to help prepare you, pose you, and provide a variety of images that feel like you on your best hair day!

"I felt so pampered and cared for."

WHAT TO EXPECT

when you book Purple Tree for your senior pictures

Investment

The photo shoot is crazy fun (I win the guys over too)! But the end goal is for you to have beautiful images you’ll love and have forever! Sessions start at $399 (guys) & $499 (girls) and most clients invest a total of $2 to $3k for their photoshoot, professional quality products and digital files. 

I don't overbook. I want to give you, and every senior, the energy and attention you deserve. For this reason, I only book a certain number of sessions each month. A burnt-out photographer can’t give you their best work and that’s not good for anyone! 

You get My attention

Ugh, breakouts always happen at the worst times! But do not to worry, I edit out any blemishes without giving you a plastic skin look. So you’ll look like yourself on your best days.

Retouching

I don’t expect anyone to be comfortable in front of the camera or know how to pose. It’s my job to guide you so you look your best and love your images. I got you!

Posing guidance

My stylists are wonderful at putting you at ease and getting you camera ready. They are talented professionals who are committed to giving you a look you are happy with. Of course, if you are more comfortable doing your own hair and/or makeup, it isn't required but is recommended for most.

hair & Makeup is included

Together we'll make sure your session comes together perfectly. Every senior receives a questionnaire, a welcome magazine, and a phone consult. I'm here to answer all your questions and help with the details, including what to wear and picking the perfect location(s)!
