Hello, and welcome to Dale L Sanders Photography

The Heart Behind the Lens: From "Dad-tographer" to Certified Pro

They say you don't choose your passion; it chooses you. For me, that moment happened at home.

As a "Dad-tographer," I found my "why" while documenting my own teenage children’s senior years. I watched the transition from childhood to adulthood through my viewfinder, and I realized that these weren't just photos—they were a parent’s pride captured in light. They were the visual proof of years of hard work, growth, and goals accomplished.

My Mission

I specialize in Senior and Graduation photography because I know exactly what this season feels like. I understand the bittersweet joy of seeing a child ready to fly, and I’ve made it my mission to help other families retain those memories forever. While I also offer professional headshots and family sessions, my heart lies with helping a senior tell their unique story.

Professional Excellence

I believe that your milestones deserve more than just "good enough." To provide the highest level of quality and technical skill, I have dedicated myself to formal education and professional mastery:

  • Education: I attended the New York Institute of Photography, where I built a foundation in the art and science of imagery.

  • Certification: I am a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA).

  • Credentials: I have studied for, tested, and received my Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) designation. This certification is a testament to my technical consistency, artistic vision, and professional conduct.

When you step in front of my camera, you aren't just getting a guy with a hobby; you’re getting a professional who cares about your legacy as much as you do.

Let's capture the proof of your hard work.
