High School Senior Portraits in Boone, NC and the High Country
Senior year moves faster than anyone warns you. Before you know it, your senior is stepping into their next big adventure. The portraits from this session are the ones you'll hang on your wall, display on your coffee table, and the ones your senior will be genuinely grateful for long after this season has passed.
At Burton Photography, every senior portrait session in Boone, NC is planned around who your senior actually is. Their personality, their style, the things that make them one of a kind. So the portraits come back looking genuinely like them, not like everyone else's.
Jonathan and Bonnie were named National Senior Portrait Photographer of the Year in 2023 and again, in 2026 (SYNC - Senior and Youth National Conference). Fewer than a handful of photographers in the country have received the award more than once.
How Senior Portrait Sessions Work in Boone, NC
By the time session day arrives, everything is already figured out. Locations, outfits, timing, all planned in advance so you can show up relaxed and just enjoy it. We handle the rest.
Two photographers at every session means twice the creative energy. Jonathan and Bonnie work seamlessly as a team, bringing two perspectives and two sets of ideas to every session in a way that makes the whole experience feel relaxed, fun, and genuinely collaborative.
Sessions run two to three hours and take us wherever your senior’s story lives. That might be the Blue Ridge Mountains, a downtown streetscape, a favorite bookstore, an antique shop, or somewhere completely personal to them. We’ve spent decades creating portraits in every kind of setting, and we know how to make any of them beautiful.
Senior Portrait Consultation in Boone, NC
Your session begins with a complimentary consultation by phone, video, at the studio, or in your home, so we can get to know your senior and plan a Boone, NC senior portrait session that reflects who they are.
We want to know your senior before anything else. Who they are, what they care about, what they want their portraits to feel like.
From there, everything is planned. Locations that fit their personality. Outfit guidance so session day runs smoothly. Whether your senior is an athlete, an artist, an outdoors type, or someone with a very specific creative vision, we build the session around them.
Seeing Your Portraits for the First Time
About a week or two after your session, we’ll schedule your viewing appointment. Local clients join us at the studio, where we project your portraits large, beautiful, and side by side. If you’re traveling, we’ll meet by video for a guided viewing experience.
We’ll help you narrow down your favorites so nothing feels overwhelming. This is often the moment everything comes together — seeing your senior's portraits for the first time and choosing the ones that feel most like them. Since this is your opportunity to view all of your portraits, we ask that everyone involved in the decision-making process plans to attend.
