3 Tips for Amazing Senior Photos

I love senior portrait sessions!  They are so much fun!  With Tara Flannery Photography, you’ll go into your session knowing me and knowing the plan for our portrait session.  No surprises!  That’s because we will meet for a consultation before the session to discuss things like location, wardrobe, and styling.  We’ll soon be on the same page so that we can hit the session running.  Here are 3 tips for amazing senior photos:

  1. Consultation: meet me for a consultation before the session so we can discuss things you like and don’t like.  We’ll talk about what location best fits your style and the wardrobe that you’ll wear and bring.  It’s best to have a plan so that we can tailor the session to you!
  2. Prepare: before the session, make a few preparations.  Make sure all of your clothes are clean and ready to go (down to the socks and shoes, boys).  For girls, plan your hair and makeup and practice it before the big day.  I have an amazing hair and makeup artist if you’d like to use her.  Make sure nails are how you’d like them to appear in the pictures.  Set aside any props that you’d like to include in the photos.
  3. Relax: on the day of the session, relax!  And let’s have fun!  These are photos that should represent you and who you are.  They mark an important milestone in your life.  If you’re relaxed, it will show in the images and we’ll get genuine expressions.  So put away the stress and let’s do this!

Senior Portraits for Lauryn

Lauryn was completely prepared for her senior portraits and I’m absolutely in love with them!  Her hair, makeup, and nails were perfectly polished.  And she had a couple of wardrobe changes that we incorporated into the session.  Since it was a new venue for me, we explored together and found some great spots for photos.  During the session, Lauryn was fully relaxed and confident and it shows in her photos.  A little bit of preparation and relaxation go a long way towards amazing final images for your senior portraits.  Let’s create together!

The truth is...

Different images serve different purposes. The photo you use for LinkedIn might not be the same one you use for a speaking engagement, your website, or a personal brand feature.

Your audience, your industry, your role, and the message you want to communicate all influence how your images should look and feel.

That’s why thoughtful, intentional branding photography makes such a difference. When your photos align with your goals, they start working for you — helping you build trust and credibility before you ever say a word.

If you're in need of a headshot refresh, I'm your girl 😉

The difference between good branding photos and great ones..?

Your wardrobe strategy.

Every outfit in a branding session should have a purpose. Different looks help you show different sides of your brand — and give you images you can use across your website, social media, speaking engagements, and more.

Carrie absolutely nailed it with her wardrobe choices for this session. ✨

The photos might look polished…
but behind the scenes there’s a lot of laughing, hyping clients up, and figuring out the best angles together.

Branding sessions should feel relaxed, collaborative, and honestly… pretty fun.

This is what it really looks like on set. ✨

Everyone says “I’m not photogenic”… until they’re actually in front of a camera with someone who knows how to pose them.

A little direction. A little encouragement. A few tiny adjustments…and suddenly they’re like, “Wait—THAT’S me?”

You don’t need to be photogenic.
You just need support.

✨ What you feel in the moment and what the camera captures aren’t always the same — and that’s the magic of professional photography.

The tiny adjustments, the angles, the lighting, the direction… it all comes together to create images that feel polished, confident, and completely you.
