Tips for High School Senior Portraits

The senior photo session is scheduled with the photographer.  You’re now planning for the session.  Here are a few tips to keep in mind for your high school senior portraits:

  1. Do plan ahead for wardrobe.  Think about your wardrobe and lay out what you plan to wear…down to the socks and shoes.  Make sure that it fits and is clean and pressed.  Bring options for formal and casual wardrobe if you’d like.  Stick with solid colors instead of patterns.
  2. Consider props.  You’re welcome to bring props to your session like a letter jacket, track shoes, instrument, or something that represents who you are.
  3. Don’t worry about the things you can’t control.  I will take care of blemishes, stray hairs, etc. in post production so please don’t worry about those things.
  4. Hair and makeup for ladies – wear a little more makeup than you’d wear on a daily basis.  Keep powder on hand as well during the shoot.  Stick with hairstyles you are comfortable with.  Bring something to put up your hair for a different look at the end.

Senior Session with Conor

Conor and I had a fantastic senior session!  I am absolutely in love with the full body shot in the suit leaning against the white pillar.  So classic!  The sun was pouring in behind the gazebo and was just perfect.  We got several shots in the suit before he changed into a dark blue button down and jeans.  He felt comfortable in this outfit and you could tell that it was “him”.  He had a final outfit for the field as the sun went down.  Although he’s more urban than country, I still love that image with the field and tree in the background.

Class of 2026... this is your moment. ✨

You're not just graduating — you're stepping into who you're meant to become. And that person? They deserve to be celebrated.

This year isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of what a senior should look like. It's about showing the world exactly who YOU are:

🎸 The musician who finds peace in melody
🏐 The athlete who never gives up
📚 The scholar who asks the big questions
🎨 The artist who sees beauty everywhere
💫 The dreamer who's about to change the world

Your senior portraits should tell YOUR story. Not a generic version. Not what everyone else is doing. Yours.

Because in 10 years, when you look back at these photos, you should see the exact moment you started believing in yourself.

The moment your story really began.

📸 Ready to tell your story? Send me a DM and let's create something amazing together.

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
