Tips for High School Senior Portraits

The senior photo session is scheduled with the photographer.  You’re now planning for the session.  Here are a few tips to keep in mind for your high school senior portraits:

  1. Do plan ahead for wardrobe.  Think about your wardrobe and lay out what you plan to wear…down to the socks and shoes.  Make sure that it fits and is clean and pressed.  Bring options for formal and casual wardrobe if you’d like.  Stick with solid colors instead of patterns.
  2. Consider props.  You’re welcome to bring props to your session like a letter jacket, track shoes, instrument, or something that represents who you are.
  3. Don’t worry about the things you can’t control.  I will take care of blemishes, stray hairs, etc. in post production so please don’t worry about those things.
  4. Hair and makeup for ladies – wear a little more makeup than you’d wear on a daily basis.  Keep powder on hand as well during the shoot.  Stick with hairstyles you are comfortable with.  Bring something to put up your hair for a different look at the end.

Senior Session with Conor

Conor and I had a fantastic senior session!  I am absolutely in love with the full body shot in the suit leaning against the white pillar.  So classic!  The sun was pouring in behind the gazebo and was just perfect.  We got several shots in the suit before he changed into a dark blue button down and jeans.  He felt comfortable in this outfit and you could tell that it was “him”.  He had a final outfit for the field as the sun went down.  Although he’s more urban than country, I still love that image with the field and tree in the background.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens during a branding session… this is it 😅

It’s not just about getting great photos — it’s about creating an experience where you can show up, relax, and let your personality come through.

Thinking about your own branding session?

The truth is...

Different images serve different purposes. The photo you use for LinkedIn might not be the same one you use for a speaking engagement, your website, or a personal brand feature.

Your audience, your industry, your role, and the message you want to communicate all influence how your images should look and feel.

That’s why thoughtful, intentional branding photography makes such a difference. When your photos align with your goals, they start working for you — helping you build trust and credibility before you ever say a word.

If you're in need of a headshot refresh, I'm your girl 😉
