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.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

🚨 QUICK! TIME IS RUNNING OUT 👇🏻

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.

What are volume headshots? 🤔⬇️

They’re a quick, efficient way to give professionals access to high-quality headshots—without needing a full session.

Perfect for office buildings, coworking spaces, and companies that want to offer something valuable to their teams or tenants. Everyone signs up for a time slot, gets guided through a short session, and walks away with a polished, professional image.

Simple, streamlined, and a great experience all around.

Want to bring this to your office or building?
