Affordable, Authentic, Bold & Real | Senior Portraits for $250

Senior year at Dayton High School is a huge milestone. You’ve made it through the Friday nights at Bronco Stadium, the stock shows, and the early mornings. Now, it’s time to celebrate.

But let’s be honest: The only thing worse than finals week is the idea of a stiff, awkward photo shoot. You don’t need fake backdrops, robot poses, or a high-pressure sales meeting. You need photos that actually look like you.

At Bri Sullivan Photography, I offer a modern senior portrait experience for Dayton graduates. I specialize in relaxed, outdoor sessions that capture your real personality—without the stress.

The “Dad-Friendly” Senior Experience

Let’s be real: Getting Dad to pay for (and your senior guy to show up for) senior photos can be a battle.

I know the drill. You want amazing photos of your graduate, but Dad is worried about the price tag, and your son would rather be doing literally anything else.

I created my business model to be the “Easy Yes” for Dayton families:

  1. It’s Fast (30 Minutes): We are done before anyone gets bored. It’s shorter than a lunch break. We move fast, we have fun, and we get you back to your life.
  2. It’s Affordable ($250 Total): There is a massive psychological difference between spending $250 and spending $1,200+. My flat rate is easy to justify. It fits the family budget without an argument.
  3. No Hidden Fees: Most studios charge a “sitting fee” just to book, and then another fee for the files. With me, it is one price, and you get everything. No surprises.

Represent Bronco Pride

Whether you are an athlete, a scholar, or an ag student, this is your time to represent. I love incorporating the things that made your high school years unique:

  • Dayton Broncos: Bring that Purple & White!
  • FFA & Ag: Dayton has a huge Ag culture. Bring your blue corduroy jacket, your buckle, or your hat.
  • Sports & Hobbies: Bring your football, your instrument, or your truck. If it’s a part of your life, it belongs in your session.

Worth the Short Drive West

While Dayton has the Community Center park, it’s often crowded and gives you the same background as everyone else in your class. To ensure professional quality, I photograph exclusively at three carefully selected locations just a short, traffic-free drive west on 1960 or 99:

  1. Old Town Spring: Just a straight shot west. It offers rustic wooden porches, vintage storefronts, and massive oak trees—perfect for that timeless Texas feel.
  2. W.G. Jones State Forest: Located off FM 1488. The ultimate “nature” spot with towering pines and golden hour light.
  3. Downtown Conroe: For the senior who wants an edgy, urban aesthetic with historic brick alleys and metal staircases.

Frequently Asked Questions for Dayton Seniors

Do you take the official yearbook photo? No. Usually, Dayton ISD requires you to go to a specific contracted studio for the formal “tux and drape” or “cap and gown” yearbook headshot. My sessions are for the creative portraits—the ones you actually want to print and post on Instagram.

Can I bring my dog? Absolutely! If we choose a pet-friendly location like the State Forest, I love including dogs in senior sessions. They always help you relax and smile naturally.

How many outfits can I wear? Our 30-minute sessions are fast-paced and efficient. I recommend one main outfit that you love, but you can bring a quick “layer” (like a jacket, letterman, or college tee) to switch up the look without a full change.
