Senior Picture Ideas for Guys

I love to photograph high school seniors!  I can be creative and we can do lots of fun things during these sessions.  And I love that Mom comes along to help with wardrobe and sometimes I even put her to work!  For guys, we have options with posing and expression that are masculine and strong but can be changed and adjusted to suit you.  First, we will do some of my “guy poses” and we will figure out what is comfortable for you.  As we go along and look for backgrounds and places to pose, we will change things up and you can bring your personality to the session.  I love to have multiple options for wardrobe and even props.  From formal to casual, bring all of the looks that you’d like to include in your session.  And finally, bring along sports equipment, instruments, your car, or anything else that helps to tell your story.  This session is all about you!

Session with Jake

My session with Jake was so much fun!  He had several outfits to change into.  So, with the outfits, football equipment, and different locations, we had a big variety of images at the end.  We even created some sun since it was pretty overcast on the day of our session.  Jake brought a tie that his grandfather wore and the resulting image was a fantastic shot that will be so special for his grandmother!

How to feel confident in photos 👇🏻

Let’s be honest — not everyone loves being in front of the camera. But confidence in your photos isn’t about being a model… it’s about feeling like yourself.

Here are a few ways to boost your confidence before your next session:

✨ Wear something that makes you feel good.
Choose outfits that fit well, reflect your style, and make you feel like the best version of you.

✨ Practice posture + breathing.
Good posture instantly improves how you carry yourself — and deep breaths help you relax and release tension.

✨ Shift your mindset.
Instead of focusing on how you look, focus on what the photo represents — your personality, your story, your growth.

✨ Work with a photographer who gets it.
That’s where I come in. I’ll guide you through every step of the process — from what to wear to how to pose — so you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely you in every shot.

📸 Let’s create photos you actually love. Contact me to chat or book your session.

Not sure how formal your headshot should be? Start here. 👇

Your outfit plays a huge role in the story your headshot tells — and choosing the right look helps you show up with clarity and confidence.

Here are 5 levels of formality for men’s headshots and when to use each one:

1️⃣ Very Formal
Suit jacket + button-down shirt + tie
This look builds instant trust and authority.

2️⃣ Semi-formal (No Tie)
Suit jacket + button-down (no tie)
Polished, approachable, and confident.

3️⃣ Business Casual
Button-down shirt, no jacket
Comfortable and true to your everyday brand.

4️⃣ Branded Apparel
Button-down or polo with company logo
Keeps things clean, professional, and consistent — especially for team headshots.

5️⃣ Casual
Fitted t-shirt or polo (no branding)
Still professional — just more relaxed and innovative.

✨ BONUS TIPS:
– Stick to solid colors
– Make sure clothes are clean, pressed & well-fitted
– Avoid loud patterns or busy logos (unless branded)
– Bring a backup shirt or jacket to your session

🎯 The goal? Choose the level that fits your industry, role, and personality — and Tara will help you photograph it perfectly.

✅ Build instant trust with clients
✅ Attract job offers, press, or speaking gigs
✅ Help you show up confidently in a crowded market
✅ Make your personal brand feel polished and professional

It’s more than just a photo—it’s your reputation in pixels.

📸 I create relaxed, guided headshot sessions that reflect your style, your energy, and your goals. Let’s make sure your image is working for you, not against you.
