*IF*
YOU'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A PHOTO FOR THE YEARBOOK
But, if you’re ready to kick off your senior year with a portrait experience that hits harder than a firework finale on the Fourth of July, I’m your girl. This isn’t just a session… it’s the highlight of your senior year.
Your senior portrait day should be a confidence-packed, fun, whirlwind of a day to look back upon and your photos should reflect that. When I get my own photos taken, I just want them to come out good. I don't want to worry about how it gets done. Ain't no one got time for that!
We will collaborate so that I know what is important to you. We are going to see each other face-to-face BEFORE shoot day, so that I'm not a stranger in your face with a camera, but a friend. I'll take care of the details and give you the tools so that all you have to do is show up prepared, get pampered and be the star of the day.
This is how I set the tone.
Welcome to my world.
Since 2012, I’ve been creating more than just beautiful images. I create portrait experiences that are personal, empowering, and completely one-of-a-kind.
- or Jenn, that's fine too. with two N's in case you were wondering.
When it all comes down to it, you want to be remembered looking and feeling your best in your photos.
I take care of the details, which means you get to just show up and have fun! Parents: that means less arguments with your teenagers!
It's the last summer before Senior year. Soak up every second of sun, fun and friends, not scrambling to book tons of appontments.
SOME CONCERNS THAT I HEAR,
and how I manage them:
You will get access to my full style guide and a consultation to review your outfit ideas.
Who wouldn't be at first with a giant lens in their face?😳 Luckily, I am magical at pulling people out of their shell and helping with movement and posing.
As you should! That is my goal. With the right preparation leading to a confident mindset, baby you 'gonna shine!
You deserve a senior portrait experience that feels easy, exciting, and completely you. Think of this as your moment to to shine and to celebrate everything you’ve become. To me, just showing up and standing there with a stiff pose doesn't do it. You should be prepred to feel AMAZING! I’ve designed the entire process to feel effortless and uplifting, so you can simply show up, feel amazing, and walk away with images that make your heart skip a beat every time you see them.
Here’s the part where you get to breathe out and say,

from JENNIFER:
"My daughter said the day was actually a "de-stressor" for her!"
I was afraid that everything had to be perfect (outfit, shoes, jewelry) which made me anxious. Jen was very warm and reassuring and everything came together perfectly. Jen is so friendly and reassuring! I was afraid that we'd forget something or pick the wrong outfits but we spoke with Jenn prior to the big day and she was so helpful. Jen made the day wonderful for my daughter!

The easiest ‘yes’ of senior year.
"Jennifer is amazing she makes the experience so much fun and so relaxing. She also photographed my older daughter's senior pictures!) Nothing is rushed, she brings music and you feel like you’re out taking pictures with one of your friends. The pictures are stunning, it is so hard to pick just a few of them. They are all amazing. I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer!!!!"

Oh, Hey MOMs...
Both the senior and the parent have to be happy.
Whether we like it or not, we live in an Instagram world. Teens are more familiar with trends and how they want to look in their photos. (or NOT to look) Their photos need to be "post worthy". So, I keep up with the trends. I am also a Mom and have been through the senior year process. We just love to see our kid's face. Bonus for a big 'ole smile. I always make sure that your gallery has a balance of artsy/trendy and classic portraiture.
So, just know, I've got you too.
“I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer Helmka!"”
With Jennifer there is a dedication and commitment to the success of high quality photographs as well as the whole session experience. With Jennifer’s ‘wanderlust package’ there is NO stress surrounding prepping for the day or the shooting itself. My daughter & I felt she would go anywhere, do anything to realize OUR vision for the photographs. Meanwhile offering artistic professional suggestions based on our ideas.

This experience is designed around you.
All you have to do is show up and step into your moment.
The magic isn’t just in what I create for you… it’s in how you show up in it.
what if it
RAINS?
I only take a limited amount of seniors to photograph during the summer because that weather can be tempermental. Cloudy days are not a big deal, but I do not make you take pictures in the rain. You wouldn't like it and neither would my camera gear. The weather app and I become summer besties so that we can reschedule if necessary.
100%
weather-proof
