Experienced Senior Photographer in Santa Fe, NM
Hi, I’m Justine — a Santa Fe, New Mexico senior photographer specializing in high school senior pictures and portraits.
After more than 20 years as a professional photographer in North Dakota, I’m excited to begin this next chapter in beautiful Santa Fe. Over the years, I photographed thousands of amazing people — from high school seniors and athletes to families, weddings, babies, and everything in between. While I loved every season of my photography journey, I discovered that senior portraits are where my heart truly belongs.
I love working with high school seniors because this is such a fun and exciting moment in life — a time to celebrate who you are, what makes you unique, and all the possibilities ahead.
My photography journey started in a pretty unexpected place — the garage of my husband’s gym! My very first clients found me by following directions to “the door by the dumbbell rack.” It wasn’t exactly the glamorous studio entrance I imagined, but it was the beginning of something amazing.
Fifteen years later, that little garage studio had grown into my Main Street Studio in Hazen, North Dakota — complete with my famous purple door! That purple door became a little landmark in our community and a place where thousands of memories were created. Looking back, I’m pretty proud of the journey from that first garage space to a full professional photography studio.
Today, I bring that same experience, creativity, and attention to detail to senior photography in Santa Fe. My style is bright, natural, timeless, and true to each person. I’m known for helping seniors feel comfortable in front of the camera, giving flattering posing guidance, creating genuine expressions, and capturing images that feel authentic and uniquely you.
Whether you’re an athlete, artist, musician, adventurer, academic, or someone who simply wants senior pictures that reflect your personality, I love creating portraits that celebrate this important milestone.
With years of experience, professional lighting expertise, and a relaxed, fun approach, my goal is simple: to make your senior picture experience enjoyable, stress-free, and something you’ll always remember.
If you're looking for an experienced Santa Fe senior photographer for your high school senior portraits, I wuld love to help you create images that tell your story!
