Hello friend! Thank you for stopping by and reading about ME! My name is Katrina Hecksher-Jones, you can call me Kat. I am the owner and photographer behind Kat Jones Creative!

hey there, I'm Kat!

If you’re a high school senior in Midlothian, Richmond, Hanover, Henrico, or Chesterfield County, chances are you’ll need to schedule your senior formal portrait for the yearbook. But let’s be real — not all formal portraits are created equal.

At Kat Jones Photography, we believe senior formals should be quick, comfortable, and actually make you feel good in front of the camera. Whether you’re repping your school in Hanover County or heading into your final year in Midlothian or Henrico, we’ve got you covered with a stress-free experience and beautiful, professional results.

What Is a Senior Formal Portrait?

Senior formals are the traditional headshots that schools require for the yearbook — typically featuring a tux or black drape on a neutral backdrop. But that doesn’t mean they have to be boring or outdated!

Our studio serves students across Chesterfield County, Richmond City, Henrico, and Hanover with timeless, polished portraits that feel modern, confident, and authentic.

What to Expect at Your Senior Formal Session

We keep things simple, smooth, and senior-friendly:

  • Most sessions take just 10–15 minutes
  • We provide the drape or tux (no need to bring anything!)
  • Our studio is relaxed and welcoming, whether you’re camera-shy or ready to model
  • You’ll receive a proofing gallery to choose your favorite image for the yearbook

Located just outside of Richmond in Midlothian, our studio is easy to get to from all over Chesterfield, Henrico, and Hanover County.

Tips to Look Your Best

Want to feel confident and photo-ready? A few quick tips:

  • Skip shiny SPF or mineral makeup — go for matte finishes
  • Apply lip and eye makeup slightly darker than usual (the camera softens everything!)
  • Get a good night’s sleep the night before
  • Bring your best smile — we’ll do the rest!

Want More Than Just the Yearbook Photo?

We offer a few fun upgrades to make your session extra special:

  • Cap & Gown Portraits – perfect for graduation announcements and gifts
  • Mini Personality Session – bring your favorite sport, hobby, or style
  • Formal + Fun Combo Session – we’ll capture both the required formal AND a few relaxed, creative shots for social media or keepsakes
