Family & Senior Photography (Simple, Fast & $250)
Living in Dayton, you know that “Bronco Pride” runs deep. But when it comes to professional photography, your local options are often limited to the same few spots (like the Community Center or Parker Park) that everyone else uses. You shouldn’t have to settle for the same photos as your neighbors or pay “big city” prices to get high-quality portraits.
At Bri Sullivan Photography, I offer a stress-free alternative. I specialize exclusively in outdoor family and high school senior photography. Thanks to the expansion of Hwy 99 (Grand Parkway) and 1960, my premier locations are now an easy, traffic-free drive west.
The “Dad-Friendly” Photography Experience
Let’s be honest: Getting Dad (or your senior son) on board is the hardest part.
I know the drill. You want beautiful photos, but your husband is dreading the idea of a 2-hour session, and he definitely doesn’t want to hear that it costs $1,000+.
I created my business model to be the “Easy Yes” for Dayton families:
- It’s Fast (30 Minutes): We are done before he gets bored. It’s shorter than a Sunday sermon. We move fast, we have fun, and we get you back to your weekend.
- It’s Affordable ($250 Total): There is a massive psychological difference between spending $250 and spending $1000+. My flat rate is easy to justify. It fits the family budget without an argument.
- No Hidden Fees: Many photographers charge a “sitting fee” just to book, and then charge you again for the digital files. With me, it is one price ($250), and you get everything.

What I Photograph for Dayton Clients
1. “Pain-Free” Family Photography
- The Vibe: No stiff, awkward posing. We meet at Old Town Spring (easy access via 1960/99) where the kids can run and the smiles are genuine.
- The Result: Bright, natural images that look like your family, not a stiff portrait.
2. High School Senior Pictures
I specialize in affordable, relaxed senior portraits for Dayton High School students who want to avoid the “stiff studio” look.
- Dayton Broncos (Purple & White): Whether you want to showcase your school spirit, your FFA jacket, or your truck, we make it look cool and modern.
- Ag & FFA: Dayton has a huge Ag culture. Bring your buckle, your hat, or your jacket. If it’s part of who you are, it belongs in your photos.
We focus on natural, masculine posing for guys and relaxed, confident looks for girls.
My 3 Exclusive Locations (Worth the Drive West)
To ensure consistent quality and avoid the mud and crowds of local parks, I photograph exclusively at three carefully selected locations.
- Old Town Spring: A straight shot west. It offers rustic wooden porches, vintage storefronts, and massive oak trees—perfect for that timeless Texas look.
- W.G. Jones State Forest: Located off FM 1488. If you want towering pines and golden sunsets, this is the spot.
- Downtown Conroe: Perfect for an urban look. We use the historic brick alleys and textured walls for a modern, city-chic vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you shoot at Parker Park or the Dayton Community Center?
No. While those are nice local spots, they are often used by everyone in town. To maintain my $250 flat rate and give you something unique, I shoot exclusively at my three designated locations where I can guarantee professional light and variety.
Q: Do you photograph weddings or events?
I do not. I specialize 100% in portraits—specifically families and high school seniors. By focusing on just these two things, I can keep my turnaround times fast and my pricing affordable.
Q: What happens if it rains on our session day?
Texas weather is unpredictable! If it rains, we will simply reschedule to the next available date that works for you. There is no fee to reschedule due to weather.
