Showcase Your Senior’s Story with Stunning Senior Portraits
Welcome to Shipman Photography’s senior portraits portfolio gallery, where we display the artistry, creativity, and individuality of Tulsa’s seniors. Based in Tulsa, OK, we specialize in crafting one-of-a-kind portraits that capture the essence of your senior’s passions, personality, and dreams. From cinematic studio shots to vibrant on-location scenes, our award-winning work transforms moments into timeless art. Dive into our gallery below to see how we bring each senior’s story to life with diverse styles and custom themes.
A Gallery of Unique Senior Portraits
At Shipman Photography, every senior portrait is a custom piece of art tailored to the individual. Our gallery showcases the diversity of our work—natural light minimalism, dramatic studio lighting, and bold on-location shoots. Whether it’s an athlete in action, a musician with their instrument, or a senior with their pet or car, we weave their passions into every frame. Explore these representative examples of our creative, client-focused approach
“Shipman’s portraits captured my son’s love for music perfectly—pure magic!” – Sarah, Broken Arrow High School Parent
Fun and Vibrant Senior Portraits
Light and fun, these authentic moments of laughter and smiles are the cornerstone of most senior portrait sessions. These are where personality and authentic connections shine through. We don’t make our seniors smile for every single photo, and that gives us the chance to pull some really sincere reactions when we need them most!
Moody and Cinematic Senior portraits
Sometimes it’s not about the million dollar smile. Sometimes it’s about the vibe and sometimes that vibe looks like a scene from a movie. Serious looks, deep thoughts, and beautiful on-location settings. Simple light and cinematic color grading to finish it out and tell a story. This is wall art. These are movie posters. These are timeless. A nice dramatic changeup for seniors with a deeper side.
Subtle And Timeless Senior Portraits
On location, using either natural light or minimalistic off camera fill flash is the backbone of any senior portrait shoot. Sometimes serious, sometimes smiling. Sometimes something in between. The goal here is authenticity and subtlety in terms of production. We often are known for and stand out because of our famed digital photoshop creations, but the vast majority of our senior portrait work involves connecting with our clients and putting them in poses and a mindset to look their best in poses that aren’t dated, overly trendy or worse – lame and inauthentic to the individual’s personality. One size does not fit all, but simple lighting, outstanding composition and careful framing are all things that never go out of style. It’s the expertise that matters here, not the equipment.
Custom Themed senior photography for athletes, musicians and more
From athletes with their gear to musicians with their guitar and car enthusiasts with their ride, we craft portraits that reflect hobbies, sports, pets and career dreams. Some of these are subtle, and some are studio creations where photography and digital artistry meet. The post-production capabilities of Shipman Photography have always been a secret weapon for our senior portrait clients. This gallery features a mix of client focused themed images.
Why Our Senior Portraits Stand Out
Our senior portraits are more than photos—they’re a celebration of who your senior is right now. Here’s what makes our portfolio unique:
- Diverse Locations: From Tulsa’s urban downtown to rustic fields, sports arenas, or our state-of-the-art studio, we shoot where your senior’s story unfolds.
- Personalized Themes: We incorporate what matters most—sports, music, pets, cars, or even career aspirations—into every portrait.
- Award-Winning Style: Our commercial photography background brings a magazine-quality commercial flair, instantly recognizable as a Shipman original.
- Authentic Moments: Whether moody, fun, or subtle, our portraits reflect your senior’s true personality with no forced poses.
- No Pressure Sales: We do not aggressively upsell or force you to select images at your gallery review. We prefer to let our work sell itself.
