Senior Portraits
The next chapter
These images serve not only as a personal keepsake but also as a way to commemorate achievements, friendships, and the unique personality of each student.
When planning for senior portraits, it's essential to consider several elements to ensure the final images resonate with the character and interests of the graduate. Location is one of the most crucial aspects; popular choices include the campus of their school, a favorite park, or urban settings that reflect their style. Opting for a location with personal significance can add depth and meaning to the portraits. In addition, not only will the family enjoy the photos but so will your high student.

Wardrobe selection is another vital factor. Encouraging seniors to wear outfits that express their individuality—whether it be casual, formal, or a mix of both—can lead to stunning results. Additionally, incorporating personal items such as musical instruments, sports gear, or books can provide a glimpse into their passions and future aspirations.

Lighting plays a key role in portrait photography, so scheduling sessions during the "golden hour"—shortly after sunrise or before sunset—can create beautifully soft, flattering light. This natural lighting enhances the overall mood of the photographs.

Lastly, it’s important to discuss poses and expressions with the senior before the shoot. Encouraging them to relax, be themselves, and engage in activities they enjoy can lead to more authentic and memorable portraits. As a skilled photographer I can guide poses while also allowing for moments of spontaneity, capturing genuine emotions during the session.
