When it comes to senior portraits, there are a few things that are essential to consider from a photographer’s standpoint. First, lighting is everything. I always try to schedule sessions during the “golden hour,” which is about an hour before sunset or after sunrise. This time of day provides the most beautiful and flattering light that really makes your photos shine.
Location is also important to consider. I love working with seniors to find locations that are meaningful to them, such as their high school, a local park, or even their own backyard. The location can set the tone and mood for your photos, and it’s important to choose a place that speaks to you.
As a photographer, I am always looking to capture your personality and style in your photos. I want your senior portraits to be a reflection of who you are and what you love. That’s why I encourage my clients to bring any props or accessories that are important to them, such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or even their pets. These personal touches make your photos unique and special.
Wardrobe is another important aspect of senior portraits. I always suggest my clients bring several outfit options to the session, and to choose outfits that reflect their personal style and make them feel confident and comfortable. I also advise against wearing anything too trendy or overly flashy, as these styles can quickly become dated.
One of the most important things to remember during your senior portrait session is to have fun! I want this experience to be enjoyable and stress-free for you. I know being in front of the camera can be nerve-wracking, but I will work with you to make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable. We will chat, laugh, and create some truly memorable moments together.
Lastly, I want to emphasize the importance of printing and displaying your senior portraits. In this digital age, it’s easy to let our photos get lost on our phones or social media feeds. But your senior portraits are something to be cherished and displayed for years to come. That’s why I offer a variety of print options, such as prints, canvases, and albums, to help you showcase your photos in the best way possible.
In conclusion, senior portraits are a special and important moment in your life, and I am honored to be a part of it. As a photographer, I strive to create a fun, stress-free experience that truly captures your personality and style. So let’s work together to create some beautiful, timeless photos that you will cherish for years to come.
