Hey There Beautiful! Oh yes, I'm talking to you. I'm Andrea, the photographer behind Shining Moments Photography. I'm a senior portraits and headshot photographer in Sycamore, Illinois who loves every piece of YOUR KIND OF BEAUTIFUL!
What on earth does that mean?!
It means I curate your story with images and video so your last chapter of high school is forever documented for your family, and shows just how YOU shine. Time passes by our big moments too quickly! The only way we can preserve our once-in-a-lifetime experiences is through portraits + video.
Senior portraits celebrate your last high school chapter. If you believe that high school seniors should have their moment to shine and show their kind of beautiful, then we're a perfect match to plan your portraits together!
If Mom wants to look back at images and think, "that's my little girl", or "I want my daughter to remember how truly special she is," then my SMP Senior Experience is for you.
High school seniors deserve a special day in their last year, just for them, to tell their story. Senior year is full of LAST MOMENTS, and capturing that excitement {and some nervousness} is what family memories are all about. 
I believe that we should all live our best life! Be ambitious, lead, create, and make an impact with our talents, but also remember to find joy and laugh every chance we get! I strive to find that in every teen I photograph.
Being a teacher of teens in my past life has given me a front row seat into the teen life {and currently having two of my own} and they face different challenges than we did growing up. We are all moving so fast and accomplishing so much that sometimes we forget to
STOP
and capture the here and
NOW!
Images have power! And a senior portrait experience has the power for good!
After we've captured your senior memories and the college chapter begins you're moving into the great phase of "Adulting". What do you need to get noticed for your dream job... a headshot.
How do you stand-out in a sea of digital images...a headshot. When you only have 3-5 seconds to make an impression, your headshot must express YOU! Even after your senior portraits are a distant memory I'm {Shining Moments Photography} still here to help open doors to earning your dreams.
Portraits are about telling your story, celebrating where you've been, and the beautiful person you are right now. A quick snapshot can't evoke these images with your personality, expressions, and interests. However, spending time and curating your story through your portraits brings the spotlight where it should be, on every part of YOU!
