Confident, Natural Senior Photos for Guys | La Crosse Senior Photographer

/ Wedding Stories / By

Senior year is a milestone — a celebration of everything you’ve accomplished and a look forward to what’s ahead. Capturing that moment authentically is what I love most about being a La Crosse senior photographer.

While my main focus has been weddings and personal projects, working with seniors — especially guys — has quickly become something I’m passionate about.
If you’re looking for senior photos that feel natural, confident, and personal, you’re in the right place.

Capturing Caleb’s Story in Downtown La Crosse

Recently, I had the chance to photograph Caleb, a senior getting ready to head to Western Technical College.
This session was especially meaningful — I’ve known Caleb’s family since I was about 10 years old. Watching him grow from a kid into a young adult and now capturing this milestone was a full-circle moment.

For Caleb’s session, we explored downtown La Crosse, finding a mix of historic architecture, quiet corners, and open spaces. We wrapped up the evening with a sunset silhouette shot — one of my favorite ways to end a senior session, blending bold scenery with a quiet, reflective vibe that really marks the transition into adulthood.

How I Approach Senior Sessions for Guys

Let’s be real: not every senior guy dreams about taking photos.
That’s why my approach is simple — relaxed, natural, and genuine.

Here’s what you can expect when you book your senior session with me:

 Confidence Over Perfection

The best photos aren’t about stiff posing — they’re about capturing your natural confidence. I coach you through small adjustments so you always feel comfortable.

 Natural, Relaxed Poses

No awkward prom poses here. We focus on casual leaning, walking shots, sitting poses, and movements that feel real — not staged.

 Use of the Environment

Downtown walls, staircases, city streets, natural parks — your environment becomes part of your story.

 Personalization

If you’re into sports, cars, music, or hobbies, we can easily weave that into your session to make it even more personal.

Why Choose Me as Your La Crosse Senior Photographer?

  • Experience: I know how to capture authentic moments that feel real and timeless.


  • Flexibility: Sessions built around who you are — no forced smiles or cookie-cutter shots.


  • Efficiency: Most senior sessions are about 1–1.5 hours, with plenty of variety without feeling overwhelming.


  • Quality: You’ll walk away with bold, natural images you (and your family) will actually love.
