Your senior year is a huge milestone, and so are your senior photos! They're not just pictures for the yearbook; they should reflect who you are right now. Think of them as a celebration of your story—your passions, your style, and your dreams for the future.

At the end of the day, your senior session is all about you. Here’s a peek into my process and how we'll work together to capture your unique story.

It All Starts with a Vibe Check for Your Senior Photos

Before we dive into locations or outfits, we start with a conversation. This is your chance to tell me all about you! What are your hobbies? What music do you love? Are you a cozy-and-relaxed type, or do you have a bold, expressive style?

To make it easy and fun, we use a simple "This or That" guide to narrow down your vibe. You’ll choose from popular aesthetics like Goth, Cottage Core, Classic & Preppy, or Edgy & Modern. This isn't a test; it's a way for us to find the perfect starting point and ensure your senior portraits feel truly authentic.

Bringing Your Vision to Life

Once we've nailed down your vibe, we get to the fun part: bringing your unique story to life! Every element of the session—from the senior photo locations we choose to the wardrobe you wear—is designed to tell your story.

For instance, if you love the outdoors and chose a "Farmhouse & Rustic" vibe, we might head to a charming country field at golden hour. We’ll select wardrobe pieces like a flowy dress with cowboy boots or a classic flannel shirt to complement the scene. If your vibe is "Classic & Grunge," we might take that same flannel shirt but style it with ripped jeans in an urban alley for a completely different look. This is how we transform a simple style into a fully realized story!

Lights, Camera, Your Story

When it comes to the actual photoshoot, you don’t need to be a professional model—that’s my job! My process is all about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I’ll provide clear, easy-to-follow directions and give you prompts that create genuine smiles and authentic moments.

We'll capture everything from polished, posed portraits to candid, natural moments. By the end of the session, we won't just have a collection of senior photos. We’ll have a timeless celebration of your senior year and a beautiful story that you can cherish for years to come.

Why Your Senior Photos Matter

Your senior photos are more than just images; they’re a snapshot of a pivotal time in your life. They capture who you are, what you love, and where you’re headed. Think of them as a visual diary entry—one that you can look back on and smile.

These photos are a way to express your individuality and creativity. They’re a chance to showcase your personality in a way that feels genuine and true to you. So let’s make them count!

Choosing the Right Location

Location plays a crucial role in your senior photos. It sets the mood and enhances your story. Do you want a serene lake, a bustling city street, or a cozy café? Each spot tells a different part of your story.

Let’s brainstorm together! Think about places that hold special meaning for you. Maybe it’s where you hang out with friends or a spot that inspires you. The right location can make your photos even more special.

Outfits That Reflect You

What you wear is just as important as where we shoot. Your outfit should reflect your personality and vibe. Whether you prefer casual, chic, or edgy, let’s pick pieces that make you feel amazing!

Don’t hesitate to bring multiple outfits. We can mix and match to create different looks throughout the session. This way, you’ll have a variety of styles to choose from in your final photos.

The Day of the Shoot

On the day of your shoot, let’s keep things light and fun! Bring your favorite playlist, a few snacks, and maybe even a friend for moral support. I’ll guide you through the process, ensuring you feel relaxed and ready to shine.

Remember, it’s all about capturing your essence. So, let’s laugh, have fun, and create some magic together!

After the Shoot

Once we’ve wrapped up the shoot, the real fun begins! I’ll dive into editing your photos, making sure each one reflects your unique story. You’ll receive a beautiful gallery of images that you can share with friends and family or keep for yourself.
