How to Rock Your Teen Photo Session

Similar to senior sessions, teen sessions are so much fun! Bring your mom, some wardrobe options, and props and let’s have a great time! Let’s talk about outfits and locations that will make the session special for you. What do you like to do? What are your hobbies? Here are a few tips to rock your teen session:

Location: is there a special place that has meaning for you? The location will provide a great background for your photos.
Outfits: plan for 2-3 outfits for the session. Maybe plan on something more dressy or formal and then something fashionable and fun, and then a final outfit that is casual
Props: do you have hobbies or things that you love? Bring props along to the session if you can and that will help personalize the images. This is all about you so embrace it!

Session with Parker

My daughter used to ride with Parker at Saddlebrook Equestrian Center. We got to know Parker and her mom through many nights of lessons, sometimes standing in the freezing cold talking about warm soup recipes! Her session was so much fun for us because we were able to use Saddlebrook as the location for her portraits. Her horse Gidget was really hot but she was able to make her appearance. I love the shots of Parker with Gidget! So very sweet. And the barn provided some gorgeous light coming through an opening. Then as the sun was setting, we captured some fantastic final frames! What a great time, Parker. Thanks for rocking your teen photo session!

But in reality...👇🏼

With group composites, each team member is photographed individually and then seamlessly combined into a polished, professional group photo. When someone new joins or a team member leaves, you simply update the composite—no need to gather everyone for a brand-new shoot!

That’s why more professionals are making the switch. Here’s why group composites are the smarter choice over traditional team photos:

💰 Cost Savings

- No more expensive re-shoots! Just update individual headshots instead of redoing the entire team photo.
- Skip venue rentals—everyone is photographed separately, so there’s no need for a big studio or location booking.
- Long-term savings make group composites the best option for growing teams.

🎨 A More Polished Look

- No more awkward expressions or bad posture—each headshot is carefully posed and edited for a flawless final result.
- Consistent lighting and framing create a sleek, professional image.
- Customize the background to match your brand for a cohesive, high-end look.

🔄 Built-In Future Flexibility

- Need an update? Just add or remove individual headshots—no need to gather the whole team again.
- Keep branding consistent across your website, marketing, and social media.
- Save time and avoid scheduling headaches—employees take their headshots at their convenience.

Scheduling a group photo shouldn’t be a headache—here’s how we make it easy! 📸✨

We get it—coordinating a team photo can feel impossible. Someone’s out sick, schedules don’t align, and before you know it, months have passed without an updated group image. But what if we told you there’s a better way?

Quick storytime! 📖✨

HCA Healthcare’s Woman’s Choice Midwifery team needed a professional group photo, but one of their providers was out sick. Instead of rescheduling the entire session, we photographed each provider individually and seamlessly combined them into a polished, professional group image. When the missing provider returned, we simply captured her photo and added her in—no stress, no extra costs, just a stunning team portrait.

✅ Perfect for busy teams & medical professionals
✅ No need to coordinate everyone’s schedule
✅ Easy to update when team members change

Why You Need Both 👇🏻

When it comes to your acting or modeling portfolio, versatility is key. Here’s why having BOTH styles can open doors:

🎬 Theatrical Headshots – Think moody, dark, mysterious, and serious. These photos highlight your ability to take on intense, dramatic roles. Casting directors are looking for depth, emotion, and that “I can play the lead in a thriller” energy.

📺 Commercial Headshots – The “selling Cheerios” vibe—bright, happy, and approachable. These shots showcase your friendly, relatable side, perfect for commercials, lifestyle brands, and roles that require charisma and warmth.

✨ Pro Tip: Your headshot is your first audition. Make sure it tells the story you want casting directors to see.

3 tips for natural, authentic senior poses 👇🏻

Most seniors feel nervous in front of the camera because they don’t know what to do with their hands, their feet, or even their face. That’s where I come in. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Here are 3 quick poses that always work:

1️⃣ Relax your hands - soft, loose fingers look natural in every photo.
2️⃣ Shift your weight - try putting it on one foot for a more casual stance.
3️⃣ Play with movement - adjusting your hair, walking, or laughing can make all the difference!

From the first click to the final shot, I’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure your photos reflect the best version of you. No awkward, stiff poses here- just real, confident, you. 😉
