In my studio and on location, I have years of experience taking beautiful portraits. From 6’6″ senior guys to the most petite of senior girls, we always get great pictures .
I’m always looking for unique locations and sourcing great props (like vintage MG cars). And I especially love the candid moments so everyone sees the BEST of who you are.
Senior Photo time only comes around once in a lifetime – so have a fun shoot, then enjoy your fabulous portraits.

Think logistics such as: Plan your outfits to match the location. For example, your favorite jeans and T-shirt will suit alleys downtown, and summer dresses look great out in the meadows. If you're having your hair up and down, start with it out, so you don't get ponytail bumps. And, if your pet is going to be in images, we'll do those first so your pet can go home quickly.
Is your nail polish fresh, or do you have to remove chipped stuff. Are your clothes ironed, or hung up so fold lines fall out? Have you checked you can sit and move around comfortably in the outfits you've chosen.?
As well as the props and clothes you're including, remember to bring a comb or hair brush, make-up touchups, water, sunglasses, chapstick, and mosquito spray. If it's a summer session you'll want A LOT of mosquito repellant - the strong stuff!
Don't panic -- lots of seniors break out before their session. Isn't it always the way.? The best thing to do is NOT try and cover it up. A pimple is a simple fix in Photoshop, but blobs of cover up tint are not! Make sure you moisturize well - light bounces off smooth skin and glows - minimizing blemishes. And about sunburn ... red skin photographs even redder ... it may be best to reschedule.
Bring your mom or dad; or a friend you're comfortable being goofy around. It's going to be fun and we'll get a variety of expressions and looks so both YOU and your parents are happy.
if you have an idea or would like to try something, please tell me - I'm all ears. The best images often come from inspiration on the spot.
I hope these tips help you up your game towards taking even more stunning photos.
