Senior Portrait Tips for Guys

Senior portrait sessions are a lot of fun!  For guys, a laid-back and fun session can be easy with a few tips!

  1. Plan wardrobe ahead of time and make sure everything fits, down to the shoes.  I like to start with a more formal look and move to more casual.  That way, the formal stuff can be put away after we get those few fantastic dressy shots.
  2. Incorporate something into the session that makes you, you.  Whether it’s something that you wear all the time or a hobby, sport, or instrument, bring it to the session.  This makes it personal and totally represent you.
  3. Relax and enjoy the session.  The more you relax and have fun with it, the better the images.  Then you can post all of those amazing images on social media.

Session with Zachary

My session with Zachary was fantastic.  We started with a formal look with khakis and blazer.  I loved this look and he rocked it with that flash of a smile. Next, he changed into his ROTC shirt.  He is a leader in the group at school and is proud of his involvement in this group.  And I like the way the khakis and dark green shirt blended beautifully with the background.  At the end, he changed one last time into his favorite hoodie that he wears just about every day, Mom said.  So, it’s truly him…the Buffalo Bills sweatshirt.  We couldn’t finish the session without a few images with his car too…which Dad absolutely adored!  All my best Zachary in whatever life holds for you next.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.

Perfect for office buildings, coworking spaces, and companies that want to offer something valuable to their teams or tenants. Everyone signs up for a time slot, gets guided through a short session, and walks away with a polished, professional image.

Simple, streamlined, and a great experience all around.
