Epic senior portraits for teens in and around Longmont, CO

Christina

She is a delightful cheery lady who can take charge and give great direction when needed. I didn't need to worry about poses she took care of it all.

We recently got our newborn's photoshoot done by Rebecca and were over-whelmed with how professional and great she was with the little baby.

Whitney P.

I just had Rebecca Mabey take our family pictures and newborn photos. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is genuine and personable. 

At the order appointment, we’ll review a professionally curated gallery where you select favorites and view virtual previews of images in your home, enabling you to make confident wall art investment decisions. We’ll also look over the texture, color, and design elements for heirloom one of kind albums where your story can unfold.

We genuinely had a great time, and, most importantly, we LOVE the way her photos turned out! She is an INCREDIBLE photographer! 

Ama

We have had several sessions with Rebecca and all of them have been the most magical experiences. She is so patient and has the kindest demeanor

 Rebecca, having children of her own, knew exactly what to do to ensure I would get photos that I would cherish for many years to come.

client testimonials

If a wall portrait spoke a thousand words, it would offer reminders.  It would bring an added level of confidence into the home and most of all be that perfect spotlight to celebrate your senior in this closing chapter of their life.

  • Because seeing is believing
  • All wish to be seen and heard
  • We all needed reminded of what we have accomplished

We'll plan out your vision! I will guide you on outfits, style, and details. We'll cover questions, review our client closet, and ensure details. We’ll also preview wall art, albums, and gift products. The session fee of $185 will be due, which does not include any digitals.  Products will be purchased ala carte at the ordering appointment
Sessions take place on location or in studio. We'll plan out the perfect location that will fit your senior.  Everything planned for the session ultimately will embody that unique personality of the senior and be a part of the story to tell from location(s), props, attire, colors etc. And most of all, we have a blast together.

Let's begin with the end in mind...

what to expect

The Studio

While the majority of my senior sessions take place outside, we are able to blend indoor and outdoor locations to achieve the style we are aiming for.  There are various "studio" options for our seniors such as sugar hill studio here in Longmont, or our in-home studio for fun colorful and traditional color backdrop options.  For an art lover, we could pull out ALL the paint and have a messy ball.  For a ballerina, a fine art set... The possibilities are endless.

Fine Art Storytelling

Treasure Heirloom Artwork

Because you will blink twice and life is busy. Don’t let those digitals collect dust on a hard drive.

Not only will we capture those treasured moments, but turn them into the lasting treasure they were meant to be. Let’s create quality heirloom wall art you can enjoy everyday. Let us take that off your plate, to ensure you hold onto the reminders of blessings and not the todo.

So you can focus on those college tour road trips and memories.

When I work with my seniors, I enjoy getting to know them and their interests and personality to create unique artwork to fit their personal vibe.  From the beginning, we work together to bring your personal style and story into your session.  Our luxurious fine art albums will be a treasure to share for years to come.

As a mama of four, I have held on to every snuggle and giggle and endearing moment when my toddler brings me a flower in the garden with a sweet, “for you mama!” Are there any words more tender to a mothers years. It brings me so much joy to help others memorialize those special milestones in life including that of seniors graduating and moving on to their next chapter. 

In 2009 I started a photo/ film business, Effervescent Media Works, which I still run and do weddings and commercial work. In 2011 I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of Utah. I've studied film and directed several of my own short films.  Directing groups is one of my strong suits, as well as helping bring out genuine emotion in my subjects.  I find such joy in creating and working with so many awesome youth.  

Over the past 15 years I have had the joy of learning the art of storytelling for families and individuals  with their beautiful milestones. Since moving to Colorado, I have focused mainly on families and seniors. I can’t wait to create a unique story for your senior.

We take gently care to not rush our newborn sessions. These take place in our home studio located in Longmont, CO or in your own home. Sessions are typically 2.5 hours total. They may include siblings, mom and dad. If gram and gramps are around we will include them as well

Newborn Session

Working with large groups is one of my super powers.  We will capture all the love and crazy but most importantly that heirloom full family portraits.  No matter the size of the group, we will plan ahead to make sure all the intended relationships are covered, grandparents with grandkids, the full party.  

Extended Family Session

These sessions are just as playful and loving as can be.  We run and spin and hug and play.  I love to capture those intimate hugs and nose to nose kisses.  

Mom and Me Session

Length of time varies in our family sessions, but mind you, I have four children of my own, and I know how to work fast. Some sessions those littles may only have patience for a short period, others may not want to stop playing! We work together until we feel the intended moments and relationships have been captured.   

Family Session

This session is one your child will never forget.  Perfect for a birthday surprise.  Let your little one experience the full fun of hair and makeup, choosing a costume from our full selection and become a character for a day.  After the session, we work our magic with composite skills to bring their fairytale dreams to life.

Imaginarium Session

These sessions are simply a memorable blast.  We will work together to select a custom theme during a consultation. From there we will get together and laugh and play. Frosting, crumbles and a bath for the babe are messy and such fun! These sessions take place in studio or on location.

Cake Smash Session

After our newborn session 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 2-5 years make for wonderful milestone sessions.  These rapid changing months go so quickly and we will customize the perfect look and theme for you.  Sessions may involve some birthday sparkle fun too!
