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!

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what`s not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?

My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?

‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don`t resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.

A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.

📩 You can book your session through the link in my bio.
