How to Prepare for Your Senior Photo Session

The senior year comes faster than everyone expects. High school flies by and before you know it, you’ve hit your senior year. There are lots of things to do during this year: planning for college or whatever comes after high school, photos, prom, banquets, awards dinners, and on and on. With all of that going on, the senior portraits shouldn’t be a stressful thing! With Tara Flannery Photography, we will help you prepare for your senior photo session. We will do everything we can to make the portrait session smooth and easy. The first step is a planning consultation. At this appointment, we talk about the style of portraits that feels best for the senior. This includes choosing a location. Will we be doing any photos at another location like a track or football stadium? Another topic for this meeting is wardrobe. I’ll help guide you on the outfits to bring. Finally, I’ll show you samples of products like wall art and albums that you might consider for the viewing and ordering appointment.

Senior Portraits for Regan

Regan’s senior portrait session was so much fun! Our beautiful sunrise session led to some gorgeous photos with vivid color and warm sunshine. We started our session in the bluebonnets with one outfit and ended by the pond with her super-cute black and white jumper. During our initial consultation, we discussed locations, wardrobe options, and style. She was prepared for her senior photo session. Everyone could relax and have fun during the session.

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here`s the thing: I`ve been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That`s why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family`s look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you`re relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter`s dress.

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.

Be honest—when was the last time you felt completely prepared for a photo session? 📸

For most seniors (and parents!), the biggest stress isn`t posing—it`s wondering if you brought the right things. Will this outfit work? Did I forget something important? Should I have packed differently?

Here`s the truth: your senior session should celebrate who you are right now, not create anxiety about what to wear or bring.

I`ve photographed hundreds of seniors, and the best sessions happen when students feel confident and prepared—not overwhelmed by choices or worried about forgotten items.

Swipe through for my go-to checklist that takes the guesswork out of prep. Because when you`re prepared, your authentic personality shines through naturally. ✨

Be honest—when you think about family photos, does choosing the location stress you out more than getting everyone to smile at the same time? 📸
