Welcome to the Senior Experience by Marinda Fowler Studios!

Wasn't it just yesterday they were proudly showing you the gap where their front tooth used to be?


Now you're filling out college applications, ordering a cap and gown, and wondering how in the world the years went by so fast.


Senior year has a funny way of moving at two speeds. Some days seem to crawl, while others disappear before you're ready. One minute you're celebrating football games, homecoming, and prom. The next, you're helping them pack for the next chapter.


You want to cheer them on as they spread their wings. You also wish you could hit pause, just for a little while longer.


That's exactly what senior portraits are for.


Sure, you'll get beautiful photos to share on social media. But years from now, these will be the images hanging in your home, tucked into albums, and pulled out when you're missing this wonderfully messy, exciting season of life.


The Senior Experience by Marinda Fowler Studios is about preserving this chapter before it becomes a memory.

This isn't just another photoshoot.


Around here, we don't spend an hour awkwardly smiling at a camera while wondering what to do with our hands.


We laugh.

We wander downtown.

We find the best light.

We celebrate everything that makes you, you.


Whether you're the life of the party or someone who'd rather do literally anything else than have your picture taken, I'll guide you every step of the way so your photos feel natural instead of forced.


By the end of your session, most seniors tell me,


"That was actually way more fun than I thought it would be."
 

That's my goal every single time. Because the best senior portraits don't happen when you're worried about posing. They happen when you relax, have fun, and forget there's even a camera in front of you.

The photos matter. The experience matters. The person behind the camera matters, too.


Meet Your Senior Portrait Hype Girl.

Hi! I'm Marinda.


I've learned a few things after photographing seniors for over 17 years.


First: almost every senior shows up convinced they're awkward in front of the camera.


Second: almost every parent apologizes for their teenager before we even start. 😂


The good news? Neither of those things has ever stopped us from creating amazing photos.


I have a weird talent for connecting with teenagers. Whether your senior is the life of the party, the quiet observer, the athlete, the artist, or the one who insists they 'hate having their picture taken', my goal is always the same: to help them relax enough that their real personality shines through.


You don't need modeling experience, a "good side," or any clue what to do with your hands. I'll guide you every step of the way. Somewhere between the first few nervous minutes and the last outfit change, the forced smiles disappear, the confidence shows up, and suddenly... you're just you. Those are always my favorite photos.


There are a lot of talented photographers out there. Remember that every photographer can share their very best images. As you're comparing photographers, look for consistency, a style you genuinely love, and someone who'll make your senior feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy the experience.


If you think that might be me, I'd love to meet you!


Xoxo,
Marinda

Frequently Asked Questions

The biggest rule? Wear something that feels like you.


Bring outfits you feel confident in, mix up colors and textures, and don't forget the things that make you you. Letter jacket? Instrument? Sports uniform? Bring them!


If you're standing in front of your closet thinking, "I have absolutely nothing to wear," don't panic. That's practically a senior portrait tradition. 😂  


If you're stuck between a few outfits, feel free to bring them along. I'm always happy to help you decide.


Summer before senior year is the most popular time, especially if you want your photos back before yearbook deadlines.


Every year I get calls in March and April from seniors hoping to squeeze in a session—and sometimes I can! But if you want the most flexibility with dates, summer is your best bet.


We can photograph your session at my downtown Columbus studio, explore downtown for tons of variety, or head somewhere that's meaningful to you.


Love nature? Great. Sports? Let's head to the field. Music? Bring your instrument. Your senior session should feel like you, so we'll choose a location that fits your personality


You'll receive all of the best edited images from your session. Most galleries include around 50–75 photos, and adding additional outfits, time, or locations usually means even more.


Absolutely.


If you wake up with a surprise breakout the morning of your session, don't stress. I'll take care of temporary blemishes.


What I won't do is edit you until you don't look like yourself. My goal is for your photos to look like the very best version of you, not someone completely different.


Short answer? No.


Longer answer? She probably really, really wants to. ❤️


Most parents come to the session, and I honestly love having them there. But if you'd rather not have an audience while we're actually taking photos, that's completely okay. I'll happily ask Mom (or Dad!) to hang back in the studio or explore downtown for a little while. Once we get rolling, most seniors relax a lot faster without someone watching every pose.


Everyone's happy. 😊


Absolutely.


If your best friend is basically your emotional support water bottle, bring them. 😂


Just remember that this session is about you. The more you're chatting with your friend, the harder it is to stay present and create the kind of portraits you're here for.


The best hype squad? They cheer you on, tell you how amazing you look, and happily step out of the frame when it's time to work.


You're in very good company.


I hear this all the time. You don't need to know how to pose, where to put your hands, or even what expression to make. That's my job. 


After photographing people of all ages, body types, and personalities for over 17 years, I've learned that there's no such thing as a "photogenic" person—just someone who hasn't been guided well yet.


No worries!


If the forecast isn't looking great, we'll keep an eye on it together. Sometimes the weather surprises us (Indiana likes to keep things interesting 🙃), and sometimes it's obvious we need a new date.


My goal isn't just to get your session done—it's to create photos you'll absolutely love. If that means rescheduling for better weather, that's exactly what we'll do.


Those are my favorite kind. 😉


I can't tell you how many seniors show up saying they're awkward, unphotogenic, or have no idea what to do.


My job isn't to photograph the version of you that's comfortable in front of a camera. My job is to help you become comfortable enough that your real personality shows up.
