Senior Portraits

Boise senior portraits with more time, more looks, and portraits your family will treasure long after graduation.

In a few months, they'll be packing the car. The house will be quieter, and this version of them, the one standing right in front of you, will be on to whatever comes next.

A senior session with us is built entirely around who they are right now. That means more time, more locations, more looks, and the details that are uniquely theirs. After 18 years, Nick knows how to put even the most camera-shy teenager at ease, and how to light them so they look like the very best version of exactly who they are.

From the first conversation to the portrait hanging on your wall, we handle every step.

"Am i really that beautiful?"

One of our seniors asked her mom that question as they saw her portraits together for the first time. Her mom had been telling her she was beautiful for years. She just never believed it until she saw it for herself. Sometimes it takes someone else's eyes to help you finally see yourself.

That's the moment we work toward with every senior. Not a filter or a version of someone else, just who they really are, seen clearly at last.

ore time. More looks. More of them

A family session is about an hour. A senior session is two to three hours, because it's built entirely around one person.Our senior sessions include multiple locations. Chosen together, from downtown Boise to the foothills to the places that mean something to them.They also include multiple looks. Outfit changes that make the collection feel like a complete picture of who they are.And last but not least, personal details. A family pet, a car, a sport, an instrument, woven naturally into the session.

Not your mom's Pinterest board. Not what everyone else did last year. You.

Bring your truck, your dog, your guitar, your jersey, whatever says who you are. Wear the outfit you actually love. Nick will tell you exactly what to do with your hands, where to look, and how to stand, so you never have to guess. Most seniors tell us it was way more fun than they expected. And more than a few have told us it was the first time they actually liked a picture of themselves.

Step One: The Conversation
Erin reaches out personally within one business day to set up a relaxed call with you, your senior, and Nick. We'll plan locations, outfits, and the details that make it theirs, and start thinking about where their portraits will live in your home.

Step Two: The Session
Two to three unhurried hours across multiple locations and looks. Nick guides every pose and keeps the energy easy. Parents are encouraged to join us on the session!

Step Three: The Portrait Reveal
We sit down together, at our home studio or in your living room, and present every portrait in a slideshow set to music. Then we walk you through a custom wall design we've prepared for your home. This is the moment you get to watch your child see themselves the way you always have.

Step Four: Production
Your portraits are printed and finished to heirloom standards at a professional lab. Production times from session to installation is between 4-6 weeks. You'll get a specific delivery date and updates along the way.

Step Five: Installation
We bring your portraits to your home and hang them ourselves, in exactly the right spot and at exactly the right height. Long after they've moved out, they'll still be right there on your wall.

You're not just booking photos.

You might be worried they'll roll their eyes the whole time. That they'll feel awkward, refuse to smile, or end up with pictures that look nothing like them. We have teenagers, so we get it!

After 18 years, we can tell you the teenager who shows up reluctant almost always leaves laughing. Nick knows how to talk to them, direct them without making it weird, and light them so they look like the best version of exactly who they are. You get to relax and enjoy watching it happen.

They also won't show up wondering who Nick is or what to expect. Before the session, we have a phone call with you and your senior so we can all get to know each other. When they help plan their own session, they arrive feeling like it's theirs, not something they're being dragged to.

This one's about you.

"Nick didn't just capture my son's best features, he captured who he is."

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nick Allen Photography. My son’s senior portraits completely took my breath away. Seeing the pictures was honestly emotional. Nick didn’t just capture my son’s best features, he captured who he is. Every photo reflected something meaningful about his life and personality. Nick was such a pleasure to work with and made the whole experience fun and comfortable. My son usually feels awkward being photographed, but Nick guided him with confidence, helping him pose and position naturally while making sure to get the perfect shot. The results were beyond anything I could have imagined, truly priceless. I’m so grateful for his talent and heart behind the camera. I can’t recommend Nick enough, not only for senior portraits, but for family sessions as well."

"We used Nick and Erin for my daughter’s senior pictures and from the very beginning they were absolutely amazing. Before her session I loved that they asked about her to get to know her, her likes and overall what we were wanting. She was a bit nervous heading to her session but that didn’t last long. Nick and Erin made her feel so comfortable and captured her confidence sooooo good. I wasn’t able to attend her session due to work and they included me by sending me behind the scenes and videos of her session. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you guys for your awesome work and you guys are soooo good. I loved every single image!"
