High School Senior Portraits

Senior portraits are so much fun!  Here are a few tips to make sure your senior pictures go smoothly and you know exactly what to expect.  First, consult with your photographer about location, wardrobe, and your end goals for these images.  Do you want to preserve these memories in an album, a canvas for the hallway, prints for Grandma, and digital images for Insta – whatever?  Great, we want to help you do all of that!  Next, prior to session day, lay out all of your clothes down to the jewelry and shoes.  Make sure everything is clean and pressed.  For ladies, make sure you have a plan for hair, makeup and nails.  We can provide hair and makeup upon request.  Finally, on session day, get Mom or a friend to accompany you to the session.  Mom can help with lighting (thanks, Mom) or wardrobe changes.  Relax, and enjoy because this is the fun part.  After the session, we will meet together to review all of the images and select the very best ones for your order.  Mom, grab a tissue!

A Senior Session with Abb

My session with Abb was fantastic!  Fortunately, we got in the session before the COVID-19 lock down.  When we met for the consultation, Abb and his mom already had outfits prepared and were ready to show me that day.  After looking at my website and looking at sample albums, we decided on a location that he liked.  We discussed plans for an album, prints for the grandparents, and invitations.  The only thing left for the session was just to have a good time and capture this very monumental time in his life.  Since Mom, Dad, and brother were there, we even got a photo of all of the men in the family.  It’s a tradition and now they can add a fantastic new version to their collection!  All my best, Abb!  I hope that you are able to celebrate graduation with your friends after all of this craziness passes.

🎓 Planning senior photos? Start with my Senior Session Guide!

I put it together to help you plan your session—from what to wear and what to bring to all the little details that make your photos feel like you. Grab it through the link in my bio!

And one thing I always encourage seniors to think about? Don’t document just one moment of senior year.

So much changes between the beginning of the school year and graduation.

Fall is about who you are right now—your personality, interests, style, sports, hobbies, and everything that made these last four years yours.

By spring, the focus starts shifting toward what’s next—college decisions, future plans, and all the excitement that comes with finishing senior year.

And then comes the cap and gown. 🎓 The final milestone before one chapter officially closes and another begins.

Senior year goes FAST. Take the photos. 🤍

Great headshot lighting doesn’t need to be complicated—it needs to be intentional. 📸

Where you place your light, how you position your reflector, and understanding what each one is actually doing can be the difference between a headshot that feels fine and one that looks clean, crisp, and polished.

And once you find setups that work? You don’t need to reinvent the wheel at every session.

That consistency is especially important when you’re photographing corporate teams and need every headshot to look cohesive—even when people are photographed at different times.

If you’re a photographer working on your headshot lighting, I put together a FREE guide with 3 Lighting Setups for Flawless Headshots that you can reference when planning your next session.

💡 Grab the guide through the link in my bio and save this reel for the next time you’re setting up your lights!
Your business doesn’t need to be “more established” first.

You don’t need to lose the weight, finish the website, perfect your wardrobe, or wait until you feel 100% ready.

If your current photos no longer reflect the level of business you’re building, that’s reason enough to update them.

A branding session gives you more than a new headshot—it gives you a library of intentional, on-brand images you can actually use across your website, social media, marketing, speaking opportunities, and everything in between.

We’ll plan the looks, the location, the shots you need, and how you’ll use them.

You just have to finally put it on the calendar. 😉

You’re not supposed to know what to do in front of the camera—that’s my job. 🙌🏼

I’ll tell you where to put your hands, how to angle your body, when to shift your weight, where to look, and yes… I’ll probably demonstrate it myself first. 😂

Good posing isn’t about memorizing a bunch of complicated positions. It’s about making small adjustments that help you look confident, approachable, and like yourself.

And if you want a little head start before your next headshot or branding session, I put together a free guide with 5 Power Poses Every Professional Should Know.

These are simple poses you can use for professional photos, speaking engagements, events, or anytime a camera gets pointed your way.

📸 Grab the free guide through the link in my bio—and save this reel as proof that you will never be left standing in front of my camera wondering what to do with your hands. 😂
