As summer approaches, we are not only celebrating the recent accomplishments of the Class of 2009, but we also begin senior portraits for the rising senior class. Each year, our company photographs over 300 seniors between June and August. For many of these students, senior portraits are the first professional portraits they have had since childhood. Many seniors view their portraits as a way to show of their tans, cars, pets, musical instruments, and even awards from high school. At Mangiante Photography, we strive to capture each senior’s personalities within their photos whether they are in our studio or on location.

Last summer we had the privileged to go to some new and exciting outdoor locations such as the Memphis Botanic Gardens, Collierville Square and the Hunt Phelan Home for portrait sessions with out clients. We try to travel to as many different outdoor locations as possible with our seniors to ensure that their outdoor sessions are truly unique photos. Each senior receives a proof book within one week of their photo shoot that they can take home to family and friends to help them in choosing photos they would like to purchase. Once they are ready to order, they can come back into our office and relax in our state of the art proofing room and view their photos on our 47″ flat screen TV! Please feel free to refer us to anyone you know who may be looking for affordable and unique senior portraits!
