Senior portrait by Luke LaPorta, Rochester NY

Senior year goes fast. A good session turns it into something you can hold: photos your senior is proud of, and that you'll still want on the wall years from now.

Luke LaPorta Photography is a Rochester, New York photographer for senior portraits. Sessions start at $500, and every gallery is edited and delivered online with full download rights, so you can use the photos for announcements, an open house, family and grandparents.

Most seniors don't love being photographed. I talk with you and your senior before the session and keep talking during it, so they stop thinking about the camera and look like themselves.

It marks the milestone

One session, planned around your senior's outfits, favorite places and personality.

It's yours to use

Edited photos in an online gallery. Download them and use them however you like.

The family can be part of it

Add a family session so the whole family is in the story. Dogs and other pets are welcome, so ask.

About Luke

I'm Luke, a full-time photographer based in Rochester. I've been shooting senior portraits, families, headshots and weddings for nearly a decade, and I've collected more than 100 five-star reviews along the way.

I listen first. Before a shoot we talk through what you want, the people who matter to you and the places that mean something, and I build the plan around that.

Weddings come with a second photographer, so nothing gets missed while I'm with the couple. When it's done, your best photos arrive edited in an online gallery, ready to download.
