Your goal shouldn't be to find the photographer for the best bang for your buck. I believe you should be looking for someone who can give you a whole experience, and high quality images turned heirloom products. Your senior year is a big freakin’ deal. These aren’t just cute pics for Instagram. They’re the photos you’ll look back on forever.
When you hire me, you’re not just getting someone with a camera — you’re getting someone who knows how to make you feel confident in front of it. I help you show up as you — no awkward prom poses, no stiff smiles. Just real, authentic, golden-hour magic.
This is what I do. I’ve spent years learning how to shoot in any light, pose in many ways, and edit photos that make you feel something. And your experience matters just as much as your final gallery — I’m here to make it fun easy, and unforgettable!

Are you still trying to figure out senior pics for your kiddo? I can’t recommend Alice McLain Photography highly enough. That’s who Emily requested for her Boss Girl shots, and I am so glad! McLain was wonderful and encouraging with my nervous daughter, whose perfectionism tends to ruin the fun in life. From giving her solid tips on how to pose, to finding the perfect locations, McLain exceeded our every expectation!

book your session
Maternity/Baby
Whether you're getting ready to announce your exciting news or celebrate a 1st birthday, this is for you! I work intentionally with you to plan the best location, outfits, etc. to make sure you are comfortable and prepared for our time together!
I'm located in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I travel to a few locations nearby at no cost. If your location is more than 1 hour away, I require a travel fee of $1/mile.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
I do not. I take intentional time to edit each and every image. Editing is a large portion of your investment, therefore you will not receive a job partly complete.
DO YOU GIVE OUT UNEDITED PHOTOS?
I require a 30% retainer to book, and the remaining total is due the day of your session.
HOW DO PAYMENT WORK?
Screaming excited at this question!!
First step, head over to the booking page and fill out a contact form! I'll send over my full investment guide detailing all my offers and what working together would look like. To officially get on my calendar, a completed contract and paid retainer is due!
HOW DO I BOOK YOU?
I try to have all galleries delivered within 3 weeks of your session date!
