Photographing senior portrait sessions is one of my favorite aspects of being a professional photographer. I have been doing these types of shoots for years and the experience never gets old. Through the lens, I get to capture the essence of a young person’s journey into adulthood, and that’s an incredibly rewarding feeling. Every shoot is unique and presents its own challenges; I am constantly evolving as a photographer and pushing myself to find more creative ways to make each session special.
This is a special moment in someone’s life, and as a photographer I take great pride in being able to capture these memories for them. Not only do I get to witness their transformation from childhood to adulthood, but I also get to create images that will last a lifetime.
When to schedule a senior portrait session
For those considering scheduling a senior portrait session, it’s important to understand what the best time is for this type of photography. Generally speaking, scheduling a senior portrait session between late spring and early fall is ideal. This allows natural lighting to be used, which can provide beautiful outdoor photographs as well as create softer lighting indoors. Additionally, by avoiding extreme temperatures during these months, seniors will feel more comfortable and free to choose different outfits for use throughout their session.
Pay attention to your yearbook image submission deadline! Every school has different deadlines for senior portrait images to be submitted by. It is equally as important to be aware of any dress code guidelines your school may have surrounding what is appropriate. It is never up to the photographer to know what your school may require. But hey! I always allow outfit changes for my seniors and if you have any fun attire you would like to incorporate into your session, we can always capture those images too, in addition to the school required dress code images.
How adventurous can we get?
