Two Looks, One Session | Northern Colorado Senior Photographer

As a Northern Colorado senior photographer, I get asked all the time:
“Can we do more than one look?”

My answer? Always yes.

Because senior portraits shouldn’t just document a milestone—they should express who you are in all your dimensions. Confident. Lighthearted. Reflective. Joyful. Textured & Moody. Whether you’re rocking a game face or your go-to grin, I’m here to help you feel seen and celebrated.

This session was the perfect example of that. We captured two completely different looks of the same senior guy—and each one tells a different part of the story.


Black & White with Texture: Editorial, Timeless, Strong

The first image is bold, serious, and luxuriously understated. A black & white portrait that draws you in with cinematic lighting, soft background bokeh, and just the right amount of grit. It’s the kind of image you print big, frame, and pass down.

True to Life: The One for the Yearbook Slideshow

The second image? A colorful, vibrant portrait full of joy and personality. This one was chosen for the school’s slideshow submission—and it’s easy to see why. This photo says “This is who I am right now” in the best way. Can’t you tell he’s so excited to finish high school and start the next chapter of his life?

Why Choose Just One Vibe?

You don’t have to.

Every session with Heather Lilly Photography is built around you—your story, your style, and your vision for senior year. Whether you’re all about classic looks, earthy tones, or you want to mix it up with soft, glam, and editorial—I’ve got you. This is your bespoke session.

All you need to do is show up as yourself, and we’ll create portraits that reflect your full story.

Meet the Photographer

Hi, I’m Heather Lilly—senior portrait photographer, boy mom, and lover of light, texture, and honest moments. With over 19 years behind the lens with Heather Lilly Photography, I specialize in natural light photography that blends editorial polish with real emotion.

I’m based in Greeley, Colorado and serve families all across Northern Colorado, including Windsor, Eaton, Severance, Erie, Timnath, Longmont, and beyond. I began photographing seniors in 2006—just a year out of college—and now, I’m old enough to walk through this milestone with both seniors and their parents. I don’t take that lightly.

I believe your senior portraits should reflect who you are—not just how you look. So whether you’re outgoing, quiet, bold, nervous, or excited (or all of the above), I’ll meet you where you are and help you feel seen, celebrated, and confident every step of the way.
