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!

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.

Here`s how I can help you elevate your business next year 👇🏻

My branding sessions go far beyond “just photos.” We’ll start with a personalized consultation to talk through your brand colors, style, and message — then plan a session that feels intentional, aligned, and true to you.

Each branding experience includes professional hair and makeup services and multiple looks, so you can capture different sides of your brand — from approachable and friendly to bold and confident.

You can choose from two session options designed to fit your goals:

✨ Basic Branding Session: 3 looks, 9 final images, and 1.5 hours of photography.

✨ Premium Branding Session: 4 looks, 12 final images, 2 hours of photography, plus a branding video to bring your story to life.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a full collection of cohesive, high-quality visuals that represent your next chapter — confident, polished, and unmistakably you.

If 2026 is your year to scale, let’s make sure your photos reflect it.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.
