Welcome

We are Brooke ALLEN, Michael KENT (hence Allen-Kent) and Milo (but you probably won't see him on a shoot for a few years).
Thank you so much for joining our crew for your senior year, we are crazy excited that you are here, and can not WAIT to share with you all of the amazing possibilities!

Packages with Intention

All of our packages are designed around real world sessions from real seniors. They showcase our vision for what we have seen, and what works well.

Designed to be YOU

Where are we going?

  • Hiking the dunes at sunset?
  • Getting wet and sandy at the lake?
  • A walk in the woods?
  • A favorite park?

We want your portraits to reflect who you are. So, we are about to work together on exactly what that should look like.

Your portraits should reflect who you truly are. We work hard to create portraits that speak to the core of our people, and showcase what makes them unique.

Good Humans is the idea that we have spent over a decade photographing kind people of all walks of life, and that our commitment is to spend the time to get to know you, what makes you tick, and photograph THAT.

The Process

Our portrait experience is, frankly, unique.

From here on out, we are working together to find the exact right place, time, and day to make sure that your portraits showcase your genuine spirit and personality.

Take a look at the guide below, see how we work/think and start to think for yourself of some of the places you are the happiest – some of the pieces of clothing that really feel like you – some of parts of who you are that you love the most. We have a process to help us pick all of these, but we really want to make sure that they vibe with what makes you sincerely happy.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I change?!

We have a little pop-up changing room that we travel with. it is far from luxury, but it will for sure keep you out of the elements for changing.

Do parents usually come?

This one is like 50/50. Parents are not required to be there with us, but are ALWAYS welcome.

Can I bring a friend?

YES! Of course! One of the basics of our job is to make sure you are comfortable. So, if you want a friend, parent, guardian, etc to come with please do.

Can I bring my dog? (cat, iguana, bird, droid)

Generally, 100%. But, you know your pet better than we do. If you think they would be fun to have a long (and are welcome where we are shooting) please do bring them. If you think we might want them for only a moment, then maybe think where they could chill while we finish up.

We will leave you with some pretty images to look at.
