Best High School Senior Portrait Photographer
MacKenzie Carullo offers unique full service photography sessions and printed fine art portraits.
Above and Beyond Senior Photos is the #1 recommended photographer at Cherokee Trail High School, Grandview High School, Eaglecrest High School, Chaparral High School, Cherry Creek High School, and Rangeview High School.
My pricing includes à la carte options to make custom packages for each family. Professional editing is included, as well as unlimited outfit changes and props.
I work very hard to make sure my clients are happy and have fun during my sessions. This means no fake-ass smiles!!
Now, if that last sentence was a bit much for you, I am probably not the one for you.
My goal is to get you laughing and comfortable during your session, and my intent is to make you cry and smile during your reveal.
I am very different than the average photographer…
If “that’s what she said,” fart jokes, “Hell ya,” or the words boobies or booty are offensive, I am not the photographer for you.
That’s okay—I’m a bit blunt and can curse like a sailor if that’s what it takes to get those genuine smiles.
I always ask beforehand what you are comfortable with. Please let me know if you have any special requests or have a situation with different needs. I celebrate diversity in all forms and welcome clients of every gender identity and sexual orientation to photograph with me!
If I’m not your cup of coffee, that’s okay—please swipe left.
I offer a specialized experience to each senior. I love shooting in the mountains, the Denver Art District, museums, RiNo Graffiti Areas, cozy cafes, libraries, the Denver Botanic Gardens, Hudson Gardens, Tagawa Gardens—basically anywhere with character. All around Aurora, there are secret pockets of beauty that I keep tucked up my sleeve—yes, even graveyards.
Let me know how we can create beautiful photos that genuinely represent you and your family’s taste.
My business is just me, and because of that, I only take on a limited amount of sessoins. This allows me to provide unparalleled editing and turnaround times. My calendar fills up fast—so don’t wait too long to book – and don’t blame me if your kid has the best smile and you go over budget!
You won’t have a cookie-cutter session with me, you’ll have a damn good time.

- The Reservation fee goes towards your end total for your images unless you are 10 minutes late, no show, or cancel.

- Sessions last 1 – 2.5 hours unless it is a mini session which lasts 20 mins please let me know before hand if you want a mini session so I can plan for multiple minis in the same day.
- After we take the photos we set up a time to do a zoom meeting so we can review all the photos. We will then go over which photos you want edited and processed. I do not send proofs.
- During this time you will decide exactly which images best represent you. I have a program that helps us look through everything side by side and you can really see the differences and not be overwhelmed.
- I offer a small variety of printed products that I love and I highly suggest to every family to get a few prints because we all know that it would suck for these beautiful memories to be lost in the digital clouds never to be seen again.

- (Extensive editing starts at $10+ depending on what you want done)
- Selected images are uploaded to your personal online gallery and are ready to be downloaded. Print release is included in gallery.
- I will send you your chosen image with the schools specifications to your email immediately so we do not have to worry about deadlines and you will need to submit it to the school yourself.

Check out my reviews for Senior Portraits below!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Mackenzie Carullo Photography for my daughter’s senior pictures, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the session was full of fun and laughter, creating a relaxed atmosphere that really brought out my daughter’s personality in the photos.
Mackenzie went above and beyond to ensure we got all the shots we wanted, paying special attention to every detail and making sure we felt comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. The communication was excellent—she kept us informed every step of the way, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
The photos turned out fantastic! They perfectly captured this special moment in my daughter’s life, and I know we’ll cherish them for years to come. I highly recommend Mackenzie Carullo Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in making your experience unforgettable. Thank you, Mackenzie, for giving us these beautiful memories!
Mackenzie is such a joy to work with. She was very flexible, able to fit us into her busy schedule. The process of taking photos was so fun. My teenage daughter who normally feels awkward in photos, felt confident and was happy with the results. The quality of the photos compared to the price she charges is insane. Honestly, I think she should charge more. I highly recommend her for Senior photos.
MacKenzie is hands down the best!!! So grateful beyond words to find a photographer that captured my son’s personality in his Senior photos. My son was diagnosed with high functioning autism and the way MacKenzie was able to make him feel at ease was awesome!!!! She seriously made the process fun and painless!
“My son is not a picture person but from the moment we stepped on the field to do some football pictures she won us over. Her attitude and excitement was out of this world. She matched him on his level and was able to pull some amazing photos that took us awhile to choose from because they all were amazing. Book with her it’s worth it and you will have fun.”

“MacKenzie was great to work with for my senior photos this past week! She really captured all my favorite hobbies and I’m so happy with the final product!”
Location – The Trails Recreation Center
“MacKenzie was so awesome!! She was very easy to work with for my daughter’s senior photos. Even when my daughter scratched up her face the day before her scheduled session, MacKenzie was super understanding about us rescheduling and was able to still make the deadline on time. Not to mention the pictures were absolutely beautiful! She interacted with my daughter seamlessly and the session itself was very quick, but we got all of the shots we asked for- so clearly, she puts lots of time in planning and executing her sessions.”
Location – Aurora Secret Flower Walk
“Would absolutely recommend MacKenzie Carullo Photography for your kids senior photos! My son did not want to do senior pictures and told me he was definitely not going to smile…well she got him to smile for every picture! Her honesty in word selection made him feel much more comfortable and relatable as a teenager! HIGHLY recommend!”
Location – RiNO – River North Art District – Denver, CO
“MacKenzie was fabulous to work with for my headshots/cap and gown photos! She was great at fixing some of the little details like hair, necklace, etc, which I appreciated. And her turnaround time was very quick. I’d definitely work with her again!”
Location – Aurora Southlands Mall Area
“Simply Loved MacKenzie, with MacKenzie Carullo Photography.

“MacKenzie Carullo Photography did an excellent job for our son’s senior photos. She took the time to understand what he would like & suggested a location that was perfect for him. She made both of us feel very comfortable during the shoot. After the session, we had lots of great photos to choose from. MacKenzie was patient and helpful as I struggled to narrow them down to our absolute faves (they were all my favorite!). Thank you for the great photos & positive energy!”
