Why You Should Hire a Senior Portrait Photographer

Why Hire a Professional Photographer for a Senior Portrait Session? 

Your high school yearbook might capture your headshot, but it barely scratches the surface of your individuality. When your hire a professional photographer, your kid will be in the spotlight and his/her personality will shine. 

Whether you're a graceful ballet dancer, a powerhouse on the basketball court, or a star of the musical theater, your senior session is a canvas for your talents and passions. It's a celebration of who you are, documenting the end of childhood and the beginning of a new chapter.

If you consider taking these portraits yourself, don't. Your teen will not be excited about posing for his parent. 

Tips for a great Senior Session

1) Choose 2-3 locations - your school, a serene park, a sandy beach, the vibrant downtown, or the backdrop of your favorite after-school activity.

2) Allocate 90 minutes to two hours (perhaps a bit more for that beach glamour).

3) Bring up to three outfits to capture a diverse range of stunning images.

4) Style your hair

5) Pay attention to your makeup. 

6) Include your nearest and dearest – parents, siblings, or your best friend – in this visual journey.  

7) Don't forget your pet for adorable pictures. 

8) Bring your cap and gown.

9) Fun props are always encouraged.
