HEY, SENIORS!!!
This is the year you've been waiting for!!!!
A senior photo session is a milestone moment, capturing the essence of a high school senior as they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their life. Whether you're a parent helping your teen book their session, or the senior themselves looking for the perfect photographer, there are a few key steps to ensure the experience is stress-free and the results are stunning.
Start Early: Begin searching for photographers 2–3 months before your preferred session date, as popular photographers can book up quickly.
Consider Style: Look through photographers’ portfolios online or on social media to ensure their style matches what you're envisioning (e.g., traditional, modern, outdoor, candid).
Check Reviews: Read reviews or ask for recommendations to find someone who has experience with senior portraits and makes clients feel comfortable.
Select a session package: Photographers typically offer different packages that vary by session length, number of locations, and number of photos included. Choose what is most realistic to you. Are you wanting to create an album, order prints? Lets talk!
Book the session: Confirm availability, sign the contract, and pay the deposit to insure you are ready to lock in your desired session!
Choose a location: Have you been dreaming of the country field session, or the downtown Fort Wayne look that everyone loves? Do you have a place you've been eyeballing?
Plan your wardrobe:
Outfit Choices: Prepare 2-3 different outfits for the session. Consider variety, like a casual look, a more formal one, and a unique style that expresses your personality.
Avoid Distracting Patterns: Opt for solid colors or subtle patterns that won't distract from your face. Avoid logos or overly busy prints.
Prepare for the Day of the Shoot:If you're planning to have your hair and makeup professionally done, schedule this before the shoot. If you’re doing it yourself, consider a more polished look to stand out on camera.
Have Fun During the Session:Trust Your Photographer: Your photographer will guide you with posing ideas to make you feel at ease and look your best.
Be Yourself: Relax and let your personality shine through. Natural, genuine moments often make the best photos.
Stay Flexible: Be open to spontaneous ideas or new locations if your photographer suggests something different.
Order Prints & Custom Albums.
CELEBRATE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!! Once you have your final photos, share your beautiful portraits with friends and family via social media or by ordering prints as gifts.
