for Unique, custom Senior Pictures in Tulsa, Focus on Shipman Photography

Capture your senior’s story with creative, one-of-a-kind senior pictures by Shipman Photography. Based in Tulsa, OK, we craft custom, art-driven portraits that go beyond ordinary photos—they’re timeless heirlooms that celebrate your senior and his or her passions and talents. If you’re seeking senior pictures that are different, bold, and deeply personal, we’re honored to be your creative partner.

Why Shipman Photography for Senior Pictures?

At Shipman Photography, we don’t chase trends or crank out volume-based, assembly-line photos.   Every client is unique and every project is personal.  Our commercial photography expertise—shooting magazine covers, billboards, and Fortune 500 campaigns—fuels our client-focused vision to create senior pictures that are unmistakably different. From cinematic FBI agent chase scenes to a student riding a shark or posing with the Goodfellas cast, we turn your senior’s passions, sports hobbies and interests into art.   We put the same effort into creating generational portraits for your senior that we put into branding for world famous touring musicians and recording artists.

• Distinctive Style: Clients nationwide choose us because our award winning work stands out for its creativity and quality, instantly recognizable as a Shipman original.
• Custom Creations: Whether it’s a Star Wars-inspired portrait or a minimalist natural-light shot, we serve the photo – and how our client’s are represented in the composition.
• Client-Focused Art: We invest in getting to know you, ensuring every portrait reflects your senior’s genuine personal story with beauty and impact.
• Authenticity:  We never lose sight of our mission – which is to represent our clients in their best possible light, while always being true to who they are.

3. Professional Artistry: For ladies, optional hair and makeup by nationally renowned artist Destry Aneese elevates the experience. A female assistant ensures comfort during shoots.
4. Flexible Approach: From studio composites to on-location shoots with natural light, we adapt to your vision, whether it’s one evening or multiple locations.
5. No Pressure Sales:  You are not asked to pick out images at your gallery review.  Instead, we show you way too many killer photos to ever put you on the spot like that.   Choose on your own timeline.

Why Senior Pictures Matter

Senior pictures are more than photos—they’re a snapshot of who your senior is right now: their favorite car, their bond with a pet, their sports or hobbies, their dreams for the future. These custom portraits will grace mom’s coffee table and walls for decades, evoking nostalgia as life changes – faster than you think. Senior portraits have a habit of following you around your whole life and you can either cringe when you see them for the 1000th time, or you can be proud of who you were at that singular moment in life, between childhood and “adulting.”    

Don’t settle for ordinary when you can have art that’s different, personal, unique, professional and timeless.
