What the photographer focuses on
Her personality
We spend time on portraits that feel like her, whether she is bold, shy, playful or classic.
Friend groups
Her friends are a huge part of the night, so we photograph them in groups and in smaller pairs.
Outfit and styling
Dress changes, hair, shoes and accessories get their own quick detail shots.
Party atmosphere
Lighting, decor and photo backdrops all add to the mood, and we capture them early.
Styles and variations
Fun portraits
A relaxed, stylish shoot of the guest of honor, sometimes with a few outfit changes.
Friends and group shots
Quick, organized pictures of her friends, cousins and classmates.
Candid party moments
Real laughter, hugs and dancing shot as they happen.

How we go about it
1. Talk through the day
We learn what matters most about your sweet 16s: the people, the traditions and the moments you cannot miss.
2. Plan the schedule and must-have shots
You tell us the family groups and key moments. We agree on the plan before the day.
3. Check the venue and light
We look at where events happen and how the light behaves, so we are in the right place.
4. Photograph without getting in the way
We stay close to the action but unobtrusive, so people can relax and be themselves.
5. Select and edit
We choose the strongest images and edit them for a consistent, natural look.
What you receive
Deliverables for your sweet 16s are agreed with you before the day, so you know what to expect. We do not set one package for everyone, because the right coverage depends on your event.
Tell us where you plan to share the results, such as a family album, a website or social media, and we will prepare them for those places.

Sweet 16s videography
A Sweet 16 video is a fast, fun way to relive the night. We build it around the entrance, the candle speeches and the dance floor.

Common questions
Can we take portraits at another location?
Yes. A short outdoor or in-venue portrait session before the party is a popular choice.
Will you photograph all of her friends?
We will do our best to capture everyone, with group shots planned so no one gets missed.
