Senior year only happens once, and your pictures shouldn’t look like everyone else’s. We’ll plan your session around your style, your passions, and the places that shaped you, then bring the sets, the wardrobe, and a whole lot of “okay… hear me out.” Come with an idea. Bring your personality. We’ll take care of the rest.
Plus nearly 3 acres of grounds right on the property.

Why seniors love it
You could stand in front of the same brick wall as everyone else and check “senior pictures” off your list. Or you could create something you’ll still be obsessed with ten years from now.
Every Kirby senior experience starts with you: your style, your sport, your stage, your truck, your completely ridiculous idea. We plan it together, raid the wardrobe, laugh way too much, and create images that make you stop and say, “Yep… that’s me.” We’ll even make TikToks and Reels with you while we’re at it.
“The images are the souvenir. The experience is the reason you come in.”
Your story, your set
The field where you played under the Friday night lights. The stage where you spent countless hours rehearsing. The barn you grew up in, the truck you fixed up, the lake you can’t stay away from. Wherever your story has unfolded, that’s where the magic happens, whether we build it on one of our studio sets or head out on location to the real thing.
Best friends, teammates, rival-town buddies, a little sister who wants in on the fun. Some of our favorite senior sessions include the people standing beside you this year. Just ask when you book.
How it works
Pick your package and book online. No need to lock in a date yet, just claim your place on the calendar.
At your in-studio or Zoom consult, we’ll map out locations, outfits, colors, and vibe, then walk the sets and explore the closets.
We guide every pose, movement, and expression so you feel confident and natural. Evenings (hello, golden hour) and weekends available.
Every package includes fully retouched images with print rights, plus prints, a proof book, or an album to hold in your hands.

Every chapter, one studio
Some of our families have been with us for nearly 19 years. We met them as newborns, celebrated their first birthdays, and now they’re walking back through the studio doors as seniors. There is nothing quite like finishing the story in front of the same camera that started it.
From our families
★★★★★
From the very beginning, Arica made sure my daughter felt comfortable and seen. The session wasn't rushed or stressful... When we received the final gallery, I cried! If you're a parent looking for someone who understands how special senior year truly is, I cannot recommend her enough!
★★★★★
We absolutely LOVE the whole experience we had at your studio!
★★★★★
Arica has photographed my son for the past 11 years, with his favorite characters, milestones and holidays. As well as my niece's senior portraits.
Good to know
As early as you can. Summer and fall fill quickly during peak senior season, and once school starts, fall calendars get busy fast. The good news: you can reserve your spot now and pick your date later.
No. Senior sessions are booked without locking in a date, so you can secure your spot and choose your date later. We offer sessions throughout the week, including evenings and weekends, and not every open date shows online, so just ask.
Most seniors choose the Signature Experience for its mix of outfits, locations, and images. If you're torn, book the package that feels closest and we'll fine-tune it together at your consultation.
Yes. The Essential, Classic, Signature, and Iconic packages can include location time, with up to 30 minutes of total travel included. The football field, the barn, the lake, your school, wherever tells your story. Destination sessions, from Duluth to the Twin Cities and beyond, are available by request. Contact the studio for travel availability.
Bring what feels like you, up to the number of outfits your package includes. Our studio closet is full of senior wardrobe and accessories too, and we'll plan your looks, colors, and settings together at your consultation.
Absolutely. Bring your best friend, your teammate, your little sister, or your mom. Family photos are included with the Iconic Experience at no extra charge, and we're happy to talk about adding people to any session.
You're in good company. Plenty of our seniors show up just to make mom happy and end up not wanting the adventure to end. We guide every pose and expression, keep it relaxed, and build the session around things you actually enjoy.
Yes! We love creating content for your socials during your session. Bring your ideas, or we'll bring a few of ours.
Yes, on every package. Final payment is due one week before your session unless a payment plan has been arranged. Send us a message and we'll set one up.
Our warehouse studio is at 8147 US-2 in Bemidji, MN, just west of the Bemidji airport, with 30+ custom indoor and outdoor sets on the grounds. Seniors visit us from Bemidji, Cass Lake, Blackduck, Red Lake, Park Rapids, and all around northern Minnesota.
Senior year only happens once
Senior calendars fill fast. Tell us a little about your senior and the package you’re leaning toward, and Arica will reach out personally to start planning your experience and lock in your date.
