    Sam Adler 

    I have this thing with color. In college I majored in fashion, but after working as a fabric color coordinator in NYC, I missed creating more with my hands. I then enrolled in recreational pastry classes which made me realize I could combine my love for color with food!

    I loved it so much that in 2012 I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu's Baking and Pastry Arts Program. I started a website sharing recipes and photos which quickly turned into a full blown professional food photography career.

    In my photos, I always think of color first. The way colors can tell specific stories or make a person feel is fascinating to me. You can "hate" a certain color but then pair it with one you love and voila! It's almost like magic. The opportunity for creativity is great and that's what keeps me here.

    Mary Vance 


    Mary Vance is a lifestyle photographer and videographer located in the suburbs of Seattle, Wa, where she specializes in high school senior portraiture. Over the past decade, Mary Vance has earned a reputation for creating connections in single-subject images as well as crafting inclusive experiences for her senior clients, specifically for those who are neurodiverse or identify as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Mary merges her past life as a professional dancer with her ease of interaction with teenagers to create natural posing workflows to flatter all bodies. She also speaks Gen Z slang fluently. 

    Mary has shared her approach to senior photography thru speaking engagements with Imaging USA, Squarespace, WPPI, the RangeFinder Lounge, The North City Studio, on podcasts, as a guest in masterminds, and at retreats.

    Title: An Authentic Approach to Senior Photography

    Let Mary Vance show you how to set your business apart with lifestyle senior photography. Forego the Gen Z slang and latest TikTok trends and embrace an aligned approach to your senior sessions. Mary Vance will teach you how to take regular humans, exactly as they are, and capture milestone moments in their lives. Gain confidence in your ability to offer authentic senior photos and the deepest level of experience you can provide.

    - Take a counter-industry approach to senior photography that will change your business, supplement your slower seasons, and give you a deeper appreciation of (and connection to) your senior clients

    - Converse easily without learning Gen Z slang

    - Get your single-subject feeling comfortable and confident with natural movement posing prompts
