That’s the kind of connection I strive for in every session. When we work together, it’s not about stiff poses or forced smiles—it’s about creating a space where you can truly relax, have fun, and just be yourself. I’ll guide you through the process with plenty of encouragement, laughter, and direction so you’ll feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera!


What to Expect

"I cant believe we just met today...I feel like I've been hanging out with a friend I've known forever!"

Robyn is absolutely the best! She took so much time with our daughter and our family to make sure she got the perfect photograph. She really worked with our daughter in bringing out her best smiles! The locations that she chose were so beautiful. Robyn is really easy to work with, kind, and professional! And the best part is there are so many beautiful pictures to choose from!! I would definitely recommend Sweet Whimsy Photography to anyone looking to hire a family or senior photographer. You will not be disappointed!!!

“I had the most amazing time doing a senior portrait session with Robyn. I was a little nervous coming into it but as soon as Robyn started working her magic I became confidant and comfortable. Robyn’s energetic yet charismatic attitude made the whole experience one to remember. Oh…and the pictures were absolutely incredible!!"

It’s best to book your session at least 2–3 months in advance, especially for peak seasons like spring and fall. If you want summer or early fall photos, book before school starts to ensure availability.




I offer a variety of beautiful outdoor locations, from beaches to fields and downtown spots. If you have a specific location in mind, let’s chat about it!




Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable! Solid colors, layers, and textures photograph well. Bring a few outfits for variety—casual, dressy, and something that represents your personality. I’ll send a full guide to help you choose the perfect looks.

Absolutely! Bring anything that represents you—sports gear, musical instruments, books, a pet, or even a cap and gown for a classic senior look.




Of course! A friend or family member can help you feel comfortable and have fun. Just make sure they’re there for support and not distracting.  




Most sessions last about 60–90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for multiple outfits and locations.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule at no extra charge. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast and communicate with you if we need to adjust plans.
