Senior Picture Ideas

Planning for your senior pictures is fun!  Here are some great senior picture ideas:

  1. Plan for one outfit that’s a little more dressy.  This outfit goes great everywhere and can be used for a closer shot and a full-body shot.
  2. Bring a college t-shirt and sign or other prop.  These images are looking forward to your future.
  3. Bring a letter jacket, football, instrument, or other item from high school.  These images document what you’ve accomplished in high school.
  4. Bring an outfit that just makes you feel great!  These images will just shine because you’ll be confident and at home in these clothes.  These are my favorites because we are relaxed and having fun!

 

Senior Portraits for Ashley

I am just blown away with Ashley’s senior portraits.  I love her whole look with the glasses, bright lipstick and self-confidence.  She totally rocked her senior session!  First, we started with the dress and got a couple of shots before moving quickly into the college t-shirt.  Next, we used her maroon top and added the letter jacket.  The close-up headshots of Ashley in the maroon top are my absolute favorite!  Finally, we went back to the pretty dress and found the field and setting sun.  It made for gorgeous golden photographs for the end of our session.  All my best Ashley at your next destination, Purdue.

When was the last time you looked through your childhood photo albums?

Those photos your parents took? They're more than memories — they're legacy family photos that shaped who you are today.

Now imagine your kids 30 years from now, flipping through the photos you create today. What story will they tell?

Family portraits capture more than smiles. They preserve:
✨ The love that filled your home
📸 Moments of connection and joy 
💛 Your family's unique story

These aren't just photos for today — they're legacy images your kids will always look back on. Photos they'll treasure. Photos they'll show their own children someday.

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.

✨ Seniors — it’s YOUR year! ✨

Your senior portraits should feel like you — not just another cookie-cutter session. That means:

🕶️ Bring your sunglasses
👟 Rock your favorite sneakers
🎸 Grab your instrument, your dog, or even your best friend

Let’s add personality, attitude, and fun so your session is unforgettable. Because these aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. 💛
