Senior Photo Ideas

Senior photo sessions are so much fun because we can be creative!  The sky is the limit.  First, during our consultation, we will talk about you and what you like to do and who you are.  This will help guide our choices about location, wardrobe, and props.  If you play sports, bring some equipment.  Play in the band or dance or love art?  Bring something to reflect those loves.  It makes the session so personal and unique and you’ll love the outcome as we play with the props.  Next, during our session, I will help with posing and ideas for where and how to pose in each location.  But if you have ideas, you should certainly go for it!  Finally, at our image review, sit back, relax, and pick out the very best images to keep!

A Session with Emma

Emma’s session was an absolute blast!  She is very much an artist and wanted graffiti walls in her session.  We found the perfect location and used a great mix of art walls and nature for a balanced portfolio of images!  She brought lots of props as well to tell her high school senior story.  Emma came with her letter jacket, cap & gown, her homecoming mum, glitter, and some really cool feather earrings to wear as a nod to her Indian heritage.  I loved everything!  We even got some shot of her with Mom and the truck!  We ended the session in a t-shirt that a friend had made to honor the Covid-quarantined year that many students had to endure.  It was a rough year!  But Emma made it through and I’m so very glad that we were able to celebrate this huge milestone with her!

It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.

You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.
Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I'm curious, what cards have been working for you?
It’s never just pressing a button.

It’s reading the room.
Adjusting in real time.
Knowing how to bring out confidence—even when someone feels uncomfortable in front of the camera.

The technical side matters.
But the connection, the instinct, and the ability to see what others don’t… that’s what turns it into something more.
