I absolutely love all of the wonderful personalities of my high school senior clients. Each girl is so different in every way and they each shine in their senior pictures. When asked why they chose to hire me, the number one answer I get is because I allow their personalities to come through in their images. THAT means the world to me. I asked Paulina to share the experience of her senior portrait session with me and this is what she had to say.

“As a senior in high school, I wanted to remember my four years in a unique way. Senior Pictures shouldn’t be just any photo shoot; it’s a special occasion to commemorate a special time in your life, celebrating how much you’ve grown and how far you’ve come. Luckily, I found this experience with Mariela Ryan Photography.

I felt at ease and comfortable going into my session. I could be myself, and I could tell that I was in professional hands that would capture the best moments. The process of selecting the what’s and where’s of my photo shoot was completely personalized to my tastes. I love the fall season, and Mariela had no problem traveling from one location to another, whether that was my very own high school or Veteran’s Acres Park. I could also bring any props that reflected a big part of who I was, like my clarinet. I’m so happy that we were able to could incorporate this into my pictures. The style of outfits I chose blended well with the style of the environment and brought out my personality. I’m so glad I trusted Mariela Ryan Photography to work her magic.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the final product. After spending lots of time talking through the options with my mom and Mariela, we took a great offer. Mariela is a passionate and hard-working photographer, and we’re very satisfied with the choice we made. My custom-made box is beautiful, and the high-quality photos inside will serve as great memories. Ten years from now, I know I’ll look back at this time of my life and smile at my 18-year old self. Paulina”

With Love,
