Senior Portraits in St. Louis|
Tori Bornholdt Photography
Before the goodbyes and new beginnings, take a moment to hold onto everything this year means.
Senior portraits are more than just a yearbook requirement—they’re a chance to celebrate who your senior is right now, before they take their next big step. These sessions aren’t just nice to have… they’re a must—for you, for them, and for every moment you want to hold onto.
We offer two session options to fit every personality—whether your senior is camera-shy or completely at home in front of the lens. Our premium session includes professional hair and makeup, access to a curated wardrobe subscription, and plenty of time to relax into the experience.
After your session, we’ll create heirloom-quality artwork meant to be treasured for generations—an album they’ll carry forward, and wall art you’ll cherish long after they’ve moved on to whatever comes next.
Oh, and yes… we offer add-on mini sessions for the families who want to document it all: spring, summer, fall, graduation, and maybe one last family session before they go.

Tori was a pleasure to work with not only for me but for my teenage son as well. She did a great job at getting him to smile in a natural way and feel at ease. Additionally, I received a preview the same day as our appointment. I found it too difficult to narrow down so I bought all of the pictures! I will definitely be using Tori again in the future!

This is a big season—for both of you.
That’s why every client starts with a complimentary consultation, where we can sit down together—you, your senior, and me. It’s a chance to talk through the vision, get comfortable, and make sure everyone feels excited and at ease before we ever step in front of the camera. Let’s plan a session that feels just right.
