How to rock your senior portraits

You’ve finally made it to your senior year of high school!  Congratulations on your accomplishments and for making it here.  Senior year is filled with lots of activities, closing some chapters, and making plans for the future.  You’ve got a lot to think about.  But rest assured that with Tara Flannery Photography, we will help you figure out how to rock your senior portraits.  First, we will have a pre-session consultation to discuss location and wardrobe.  This is where we get to know each other a little bit too.  That way, we’re not meeting for the first time when you show up for the session.  We already get along and know exactly what we’re doing.  Then, we will meet for the session and execute our plan.  From formal to casual and everything in between, we will capture the true you!  Finally, we will meet again in a viewing/ordering appointment to select the very best images for display as wall art, albums and/or digital images.  Our most popular packages include canvas wall art or a small framed collage.  I can’t wait to work with you and rock those senior portraits!

Senior session with Mitch

Mitch was a treat to work with and he certainly rocked his senior portraits!  He started in a full suit (in July).  It was hot but we got what we needed in the suit and I absolutely love the look of the suit shots.  Then he changed into a favorite red plaid shirt with white undershirt.  We took a few casual images here.  Finally, we ended with some running shots at the park.  Since Mitch is a cross country runner with John Cooper, we wanted to be sure to document that major part of his life.  There were so many great images of Mitch, it was very difficult to narrow them down.  But I think we chose the very best.  I know Mitch and his family will enjoy these senior photos for years to come.  All my best Mitch in wherever life takes you next.

Fall family portrait season is officially here! 🍂

I keep a limited number of weekend dates open specifically for family sessions each fall—and once they’re booked, they’re booked!

Whether you’re thinking ahead to holiday cards, finally updating the family photos on your walls, or simply wanting to document this season before the kids grow another inch, now is the time to get your session on the calendar.

My current weekend availability is listed above. Save your date before someone else grabs it! 🤍

It's time to start planning Fall Family Photos! LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE 👇🏻

Fall is always one of my busiest seasons for family portraits, and those weekend dates tend to disappear quickly—so if family photos are on your list this year, now is the time to get them on the calendar.

CURRENT WEEKEND AVAILABILITY:
📅 September 20th
📅 October 3rd
📅 October 17th
📅 October 24th
📅 November 7th
📅 November 15th

Whether you’re updating the family photos on your walls, planning ahead for holiday cards, or simply realizing it’s been way too long since everyone was in the same photo… I’d love to document this season for you. 🤍

And remember—the kids aren’t going to look exactly like this next year. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time.

📸 Ready to claim your fall date? Book your family portrait session through the link in my bio. Once these weekends are gone, fall availability will be very limited!
🎓 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. 🤍

📸 Class of 2027: Grab my Senior Session Guide through the link in my bio and start planning your senior 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!
