More About Me

It's your senior year.

let's make it count.

I pride myself on providing a personalized and unforgettable experience for each and every one of my clients. I understand that senior year is a milestone moment in every young person's life, filled with excitement, anticipation, and a hint of nostalgia. That's why I strive to create a photography session that not only celebrates their achievements but also encapsulates their unique personality and spirit.


When you choose Jessica Kankelfitz Photography, you're not just hiring a photographer—you're becoming a part of my family. I’m  here to support you every step of the way, from planning the perfect session to selecting the most cherished images for your home. Your satisfaction and happiness are my top priorities, and I will stop at nothing to ensure that your experience is nothing short of exceptional.

Only a limited number of senior sessions each year..

Because I believe in offering the absolute best experience

I limit the number of senior sessions I offer each year. Why? Because I believe in the power of quality over quantity. I believe in creating an exceptional experience for each and every one of my clients, from the very first consultation to the final delivery of your products and images. I focus on understanding your vision, your personality, and ensuring that your senior session is not just a photoshoot, but a memorable experience showcasing YOU!

A look at the session process


During our time together, I will be there to guide you through poses that don’t feel too “posey” and compositions that bring out the best in you. Whether you're a seasoned model or feeling a bit camera-shy, I'll provide gentle direction to help you feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens.


But more than just capturing beautiful images, my goal is to empower you and boost your confidence. I want you to feel confident in your own skin, to embrace your uniqueness, and to shine brightly as the incredible individual you are.


Showcase your passions


I love to incorporate your passions into your Senior Session! Whether it is dance, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, or horse back riding. Let’s make the session uniquely YOU!


Your senior session isn't just about capturing your likeness—it's about capturing your essence, your spirit, and everything that makes you uniquely you. By incorporating your passions into our session, we can create images that truly reflect who you are and what brings you joy.


Whether it's through props, poses, or locations, I'm committed to finding creative ways to incorporate your passions into our session. Together, we'll create images that not only document this important milestone in your life but also celebrate the unique qualities and interests that make you shine.






Celebrate Siblings & Family


Your senior year is not only a milestone for you but also for your entire family. It's a time of transition, growth, and celebration, and capturing your family during this phase of life is a priceless opportunity.


Parents- as your senior prepares to embark on their next journey—whether it's college, a career, or another adventure—the next monumental moment might indeed be at their wedding! By capturing family photos now, you'll have a precious collection of memories to complement future milestones and celebrations.


We offer options to include a few quick family photos without cutting into your Senior Session!
