The SENIOR Experience

Bartlesville & OU Senior Photographer

The Melanie Foster Experience

Life moves fast, but your memories don’t have to fade.

Through a laid-back, connection-focused experience designed just for you, we’ll capture this season in a way that feels natural and true to who you are—so you can relive these memories for years to come.

And when it’s time to toss that cap in the air, a seamless, low-stress photo session will help you celebrate the journey and the legacy you’re creating. Let’s make it unforgettable!

Lean Into The Moment & Emotions

With a photography experience that is… …

With over a decade of photography experience, I’ve refined my processes for lighting, locations, and posing to make sure you look and feel your absolute best. You'll have an expert leading you through the process that hundreds of Oklahoma seniors and families have trusted.

Defined

Friends say my style is light, natural, and timeless—and that’s exactly how your photos should feel. Years from now, I want you to look back and feel the same excitement, hope, and pride you do today. Your photos will capture not just your school spirit, but the hard work and heart you’ve poured into this milestone.

Reflects Nostalgia & Joy

Personality > posing. Your photography experience is designed around you. Your photos will reflect your personality, unique relationships and connections, and the special details that make you, you.

"EVERYTHING WAS SEAMLESS"

The communication, instruction and guidance she offered made everything seamless. I am amazed at the way Melanie transformed the most ordinary spaces into beautiful settings! Thank you, Melanie, for a terrific experience and for capturing these awesome photos!

- Elise Archambo

"SHE FULLY CAPTURED HIS PERSONALITY"

Melanie was amazing. She was able to connect with our 17 year old son, who was reluctant to have photos taken. Her work is amazing and she fully captured his personality and beautiful images that I will cherish. Forever grateful.

- Melanie Austin

"MELANIE IS YOUR GIRL"

Melanie is the BEST! This was my second time using her as my photographer - I couldn’t even think about using anyone else! She is caring with each conversation and you feel like best friends by the time [the session] is over! If you’re looking for a fun, easy-going photo shoot with the most perfect pictures, Melanie is your girl! She captures love and life so incredibly!

- Hannah Perry

"AN EXPERIENCE THAT IS COMFORTABLE AND FULL OF JOY"

Melanie is so amazing at creating an experience that is comfortable, uplifting, and full of joy! She truly cares about her clients. Her talent is easily seen through her pictures. I am so thankful Melanie captured pictures that I will cherish for a lifetime.

- Olivia Hunter

I'VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES. HERE'S WHAT I WOULD WANT TO KNOW:

You're in the right place! Outfits and styling, selecting a location, and time of year all factor in to your final images. Upon booking, seniors receive client-exclusive guides to assist in planning. I'll lead you through every step of the process so you won't be left wondering, "what's next?"

Help! I've never done this before.

My mission is to capture the joy, excitement, and anticipation surrounding your senior year. I will guide and direct with specific prompts to ensure you feel and look confident. I had senior photos taken myself, so I've been in your shoes!

What is your shooting style?

I reserve several days each month for make-up dates. If rain, freezing temperatures, or high winds are forecasted on the day of your session,  don't fret! We’ll chat about rescheduling and find a time that works for both of us.

What if it rains on the day of my session?

I will hand-select the best of the best images from your session, with no maximum number of photos. Most galleries include 60+ images! You’ll get an email with a link to your gallery once it’s finalized. From there, you’ll be able to download, share, and print photos straight from your gallery. 

How many images Should I expect?

You’ll receive the best of the best images via online gallery within two weeks of our session date, or the week of graduation - whichever comes first.

How long will it take to get my photos after our session? 

High school seniors typically schedule dates for September - November and March - April. I take a small, select group of OU seniors during the third week of April - spots are limited!
