Book Your Senior Portrait Session
Capture your graduation moment in style. Senior portraits aren’t just photos — they are milestones preserved for a lifetime. At Richard’s Photography, we help students from across San Antonio and surrounding areas celebrate their achievements with images that reflect confidence, personality, and pride. Whether you’re walking across the stage at UTSA, celebrating your diploma at University of the Incarnate Word, or tossing your cap at Reagan High School, our portraits are designed to tell your story.
We work with graduates from UTSA, University of the Incarnate Word, St. Mary’s Law School, Reagan High School, Clark High School, Boerne Champion High School, and O’Connor High School. From cap and gown elegance to creative senior photos in your favorite outfit, our sessions are crafted to match your vision. We also capture important details like your diplomas, commencement moments, proud parents and teachers, and the energy of your graduation ceremony.
Some students choose iconic campus locations, while others prefer San Antonio’s most scenic backdrops. We help guide you to the best photography spots for graduation pictures — including historic sites, modern architecture, and vibrant local parks. Whether you’re a high school senior or a college graduate, these images will be cherished for decades.
Our process starts with understanding your goals. If you’re applying to graduate schools, starting a career, or simply sharing your journey online, your images should reflect your next chapter. We’ll discuss wardrobe options, posing, and backgrounds to ensure your portraits stand out. Many students from UTSA and nearby schools choose to incorporate symbolic items like textbooks, sports gear, or instruments to personalize their session.
Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and your senior portraits should capture the excitement of that day. We’re known for our mastery of lighting and composition, ensuring you look your best in every frame. Whether we shoot on your school campus, at a favorite San Antonio landmark, or in a natural outdoor setting, you’ll have professional, polished portraits that make you proud.
Few places photograph as beautifully — or as uniquely — as the Pearl Brewery. Think brick textures, ironwork, archways, water features, and warm light that wraps around in the late afternoon. We’ll map a short walking route with multiple looks in minutes: clean editorial walls, greenery by the river, and iconic architectural backdrops near Hotel Emma.

We regularly work with graduates from across San Antonio and nearby communities, including:
Bring the details that matter: cap and gown, diplomas, honor cords, sports or club props, and favorite books or instruments. We can also capture moments with parents and teachers, and plan shots that echo the commencement energy — perfect for announcements and thank-you cards. Ask us to recommend the best photography spots for graduation pictures based on your school and style.
Quick, guided sessions with expert lighting — tailored to your school, style, and goals.
Your senior portrait session can celebrate far more than just the walk across the stage. We design sessions that weave in the unique events, accomplishments, and memories that define your school experience. Whether it’s graduation ceremonies with friends, birthdays during your senior year, or even your acceptance into graduate school, we’ll make sure these moments are captured beautifully.
Bring your diplomas, honor cords, and other symbols of achievement. Document your grades success, final projects, or awards you’ve worked hard to earn. Sessions can also include creative touches — such as books, musical instruments, or sports gear — to tell a more complete story of your journey.
Some of the most powerful portraits come from featuring those who helped you succeed — educators, mentors, and even close friends. We can photograph you with them during convocation, after the finals season, or during end-of-year celebrations.
Senior portraits can be taken at your college or high school campus, or in unique locations that hold personal meaning. We can incorporate fun backdrops, colorful gradients, and scenic spots to make your images stand out. Whether it’s a small gathering or large anniversaries of your school’s traditions, we create images that blend personality with professional quality.
From cap-and-gown moments to the final handshake, Richard’s Photography ensures each milestone is remembered.
Schedule Your Senior SessionGraduation milestones happen at multiple academic stages. Each one deserves to be remembered with portraits that reflect your hard work and personality.
Madison, a varsity soccer captain at Reagan, wanted portraits that blended academics and athletics. We started at the school entrance in cap and gown, then moved to a nearby park for lifestyle images. Her signature shot—holding her diploma with cleats over her shoulder—became the hero image for her announcements and gifts to family.
Daniel wanted iconic campus locations and a clean, professional look. We photographed cap-and-gown portraits at the UTSA Tower and Sombrilla Plaza, then added a set at the engineering building. A few frames with his parents made thoughtful graduation gifts, and the final gallery doubled as headshots for internship applications.
Balancing work and graduate school, Lauren wanted portraits that felt both celebratory and career-ready. We used UIW’s historic architecture for an elegant cap-and-gown set, then switched to a tailored business outfit to mark her next career step. The mix created a versatile collection for announcements, LinkedIn, and framed prints.
Choose a location you love—campus landmarks, Pearl Brewery, or a favorite San Antonio spot.
Book Your SessionEarning your degree is an incredible achievement, and your UTSA graduation portraits are the perfect way to celebrate. But graduation is also the start of a new chapter — whether you’re entering the workforce, applying for graduate school, or building your professional presence online. That’s where a professional headshot or branding portrait can make all the difference.
At Richard’s Photography, we specialize in business headshots in San Antonio that highlight your personality, professionalism, and confidence. Many UTSA graduates book a headshot session shortly after their graduation photos, giving them fresh, high-quality images for LinkedIn, resumes, company profiles, and personal websites.
