Schedule my senior session

Your senior’s photos are too important to neglect.

You’re too busy to figure out all the details of a photo session.
You don’t want photos that look like everyone else’s.
You don’t have the skills or equipment to take professional photos.
My senior hates taking photos and feels awkward in front of the camera.

HI, THERE!

I’M MARIO LEAL

My superpower is making senior photos easy and beautiful. I totally understand what you’re going through. Between the schedule and all the details, it’s so hard to keep everything together.

I focus on having a simple process that gets you dynamic and STUNNING images that you’ll cherish forever.
