Senior Picture Poses

It’s your senior year of high school!  You’ve finally made it!  It’s time to celebrate this major milestone with a senior portrait session with your photographer.  Senior pictures are a great way to capture the real you.  No standing in front of a backdrop with a drape or suit and studio lighting.  Let’s get outside, walk around, change outfits, and have a fun session celebrating you!  I love senior sessions because they are always fun.  During the consultation, we get to know each other a bit and can make a plan for the session.  We’ll talk about locations, wardrobe, and props…anything that makes you special.  Once we have a plan, the session can be relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.  Mom usually comes along and can help with wardrobe and props.  I will help guide  you with senior picture poses.  The final result is a gorgeous set of portraits that you can take with you the rest of your life!

Senior Portraits for Antonio

During our consultation, Antonio along with his mom and I made a plan for our session.  We wanted to infuse bits of Antonio’s personality and interests into the session.  So we planned for images with the dogs, his Jeep, and some on the golf course.  My absolute favorite image is the one where he’s got a foot up on the fence and leaning towards the fence.  To me, that image is relaxed and shows the true Antonio.  We had a fantastic session and Antonio ended up with a handsome album with all of his favorite images.  The outside is a distressed Onyx leather with a cameo of that favorite image on the front cover.  Inside, the pages show all of the variety of images with wardrobe and background changes.  What a treasure to look back on when he has a family and kids of his own!

Do you wear glasses all the time? Then they should absolutely be in your headshot.

Because here’s the thing—your headshot should look like you.

If you wear them only sometimes, it’s up to you. But if they’re part of your everyday look, don’t leave them out just because you’re worried about glare.

There are plenty of ways I can minimize reflection—and yes, I’ve got a few creative tricks up my sleeve if needed. 😉

Let’s keep your session real, honest, and true to how you actually show up in the world.

Let’s talk color ⬇️

If your brand photos are going on your website, what you wear matters more than you might think.

We want your outfit to complement your brand—not compete with it. That’s why I always ask:

Is your site mostly white with a bold pop of color? Let’s find an outfit that matches or plays off that palette beautifully.

☑️ Solid colors > busy patterns
☑️ Neutrals + strategic color choices keep the focus on you
☑️ Brand alignment = polished, professional, intentional

Planning a branding session?

Let’s make sure your photos and website tell a cohesive story—from color to composition.
“What should I wear for my headshot?” — it’s one of the most common questions I get before a session.

Here’s my take: Start with your industry standard. What would you wear to meet a client or walk into a networking event? Then, think about how you want to show up—polished, approachable, confident?

Some clients show up in yoga pants (hey, no judgment!), but your headshot should reflect how you want to be seen professionally. A little extra effort goes a long way in making the right first impression. ✨
