How to Take Senior Pictures

High school senior portrait sessions are tons of fun!  There’s no one right way on how to take senior pictures.  At Tara Flannery Photography, we will be with you every step of the way to create a unique and fantastic session tailored just for you!  First, we first meet for a consultation to get to know each other.  We talk about wardrobe and location and anything you have in mind for the session.  It’s so nice to meet ahead of time so that when we get to the session day, we already have that familiarity and can start photographing right away!  On session day, it’s just having fun and playing with wardrobe, fun photo spots, poses, and expressions.  Then, we will meet together to review all of the images together and select the very best ones for your order.  Finally, the day that you waited for is here: product and digital photo delivery!  Now you can share away on social media and your parents can fill that frame and hang your brand new images on the wall, so exciting!

Senior Portraits with Allison

My senior portrait session with Allison was a blast!  Her mom was there to help with wardrobe changes and to help keep an eye on that gorgeous hair!  My daughter, Leah, was there too to help with lighting so it was an all-girl affair.  We started with a location with lots of brick and rusted iron.  Her white dress was the perfect compliment to this spot.  Then we moved to another location with brick and her pink shirt and jeans and hair pulled half way back.  I love that Allison changed up her hairstyle along with her outfits.  We ended the session with her navy top and brown skort.  My favorite image is Allison’s closeup with the serious expression, her hair in a messy bun on top.  Gorgeous!!  Although there’s no rule book on how to take senior pictures, Allison can definitely point the way towards a fantastic session!

If you’re a speaker, your images speak before you do. 🎤

Event planners are checking your website, your LinkedIn, your media kit — all before they ever reach out. And the first question they’re asking is:

“Can I imagine this person on our stage?”

That’s why speaker-focused imagery matters.

In my headshot + branding sessions, I don’t just have to take portraits —
I can recreate the experience of you presenting.

Spotlight, stage-inspired lighting, gestures, expressions, confidence… even if we’re shooting in my studio, we can make it look like you’re mid-keynote.

Because if speaking is part of your business, your visuals should reflect that — long before you step on stage.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨
