Your music in the studio. A walk around Bolivar Square. Your friend nearby with plenty to say while we take pictures.
Think about what sounds like a good afternoon to you. We can bring some of that into your senior session.
Here are a few ideas for planning the day and choosing the things you’d enjoy doing while we photograph.
Tell us what sounds fun to you
You might want music and a friend with you. You might prefer a quieter session while we talk and walk between spots.
Your dog, guitar, truck, or sports gear could be part of the plan. Bring up the things you’d like to include so we can talk through the details.
You can also tell us when an idea doesn’t appeal to you. We’ll look for something else to try together.
Try on the full outfits
Put the shoes, jewelry, and layers with each look before the day. Walk around and sit down to see how everything feels together.
You might decide to change a piece or bring another option. This senior picture outfit guide gives you some ideas to look through.
Bring something you enjoy
A book you keep talking about, the jacket you wear everywhere, or the gear from your sport can give us an idea for your pictures.
If someone is coming along, tell us which photos you’d like with them. You might want a picture together and a few on your own.
They can help with the playlist or keep you company between outfits. Holding the extra shoes is also a useful contribution to the afternoon.
Keep talking while we photograph
Tell us what you’ve been looking forward to or where you’re going after the session. Ask us a question. The conversation can keep going while we take pictures.
If a direction sounds confusing, we can show you what we mean. If something is uncomfortable, tell us and we can change it.
Give a few movement ideas a try
We might ask you to walk toward us, turn, adjust your jacket, or sit on a step. With sports gear or an instrument, we can talk about a few things to do with what you brought.
If you want something to try with a friend, these heart-hand pose ideas give you a starting point. It’s fun to see what happens when you work on the shape together.
Leave room for a break or a different idea
You can stop for a drink, adjust an outfit, or ask to try something again. We’ll work through what comes next with you.
The senior-session preparation guide covers the packing and planning. Bring the ideas you like, and we’ll talk about where to start when you arrive.
