Capturing the Essence
Senior year is joyful!
Let’s get this party started, celebrating YOU.
Fort Wayne Senior Pictures
Create what you wish existed.
There is only ONE you. So, at Shadowlands Photography, we avoid boring cookie-cutter graduating senior poses and locations like the plague. We create one-of-a-kind unforgettable moments that capture the essence of your personality. You’ll walk away with high school senior portraits that amplify the mood, beauty, accomplishments, and growth into adulthood which reflect YOU.
Before and after your photo shoot, you will get to explore unique and gorgeous ways to showcase your photos at your graduation party, in your room, in your family’s offices, and more with our top shelf photo products.
Senior pictures are a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it is the perfect opportunity for you to do something unique and amazing. Our senior portrait sessions are designed completely around YOU - with locations, outfits, and looks you dream of.
We work together to capture the essence of your personality, to celebrate your senior year and to launch you into the future. The results are images that you will love for a lifetime. At Shadowlands Photography, we believe in the power of imagery to impact the world for good. The high school seniors I photograph adore their images for decades to come and they walk away with a self-confidence-boosting experience which positively impacts their future.
Senior pictures are not just about celebrating a moment - our senior photo session experiences are designed to provide graduating high school seniors with new confidence, an empowered spirit and honest self-expression.

We have four senior photo session experience options.
Most of our senior portrait clients invest $500+ for their session experiences and products. Which session experience is the best fit for YOU?
The Piccino - 30 minute portrait session, plus a photo product gift card
The Story - 60 minute portrait session, plus a photo product gift card
The Moment - 90 minute portrait session, plus a photo product gift card
The Dream - Choose either:
180 total minutes of photography split up between 2-3 separate seasons/dates, plus a photo product gift card
OR 2 hours of photography with professional hair and makeup styling, plus a photo product gift card
Additional prints, digital files and photo products can be purchased separately after from the session.
We understand that every senior's wishes are unique so we give you the freedom to purchase what you want (and nothing you don't). Get inspired about some of our photo products for seniors.
The process of turning your images into long-lasting high quality photo products is very important to us, so we offer services and products that make the ordering process easy and convenient such as a 30 day private online proofing & shopping gallery, custom-designed graduation party invitations, custom-designed coffee table books, and more. Our photo products can be purchased either a la carte, or in bundled collection.
Detest the idea of someone emailing you a bunch of digital files and then expecting you to do all of the printing and all of the hard work? Think you can’t trust Joe Schmo temporary photo lab employee to give you the best prints? Um….WE DO TOO! With over 20 years of experience, we help clients move beyond the frustration of digital files stuck on their devices. We turn your beautiful images into prints. Imagine that. And we LOVE doing it. We make the ordering process easy, fast, and fun. We love helping you create stunning wall art and prints you can enjoy every day. That’s why every portrait session includes a gift card for you to use in the online proofing and shopping gallery. After your session, you can use your gift card toward any photo products, including wallet prints, invitations, albums, framed wall art, digital files, and more. If you'd like to purchase additional items, you can easily do so.
The last year of high school will fly by SO quickly. So, we set you up for success by helping you avoid unnecessary stresses along the way, so we make ordering simple. We don’t give you digital files and send you on your way — we care too much for that — we take the time to custom design products for you and ensure your images are perfected prior to production. Quit having your memories only live digitally! Making important moments physical and tangible is powerful work — and we work hard to co-create excellent products for you which honor those moments. Selfies and cell phone photos have their place, but they should not be your heirlooms. Our portrait sessions are designed to give you a wonderful confidence-boosting experience that you will never forget, and an end result of a collection of gorgeous prints and albums that you'll be proud to display and share.
