5 SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSION MISTAKES TO AVOID

Five Senior Portrait Session mistakes to avoid when planning out your Senior Pictures.

1. Not reading the session prep materials: we promise, we give these to our clients for a reason: to make your session day easy and stress free! We are the experts when it comes to preparing for a session because we’ve helped hundreds of seniors over the past 12 years! We know all the tips and tricks to having the best senior session possible, so make sure to read over all the resources we give you to help you be ready for your big session day!

2. Not booking early: senior pictures are NOT the time wait until the last minute. You will need plenty of time to make other appointments with your hair stylist, nail artist, aesthetician, etc to make sure you feel your best the day of your session. You also need to consider how busy senior year events will get between March and May and you’ll want to have your session booked with your top choice for photographer before they book out!

3. Showing up late: photographers work around the timing of the sun and we can’t extend your session past sunset. Showing up even 15 minutes late could affect your session to the point that you’ll have to pass on an outfit or receive a smaller amount of digital images due to the time constraints. If we run out of sunlight, the session is over.

4. Only keeping the digitals: do yourself a favor and at the very least, print your session images! You never know what will happen to technology and printing your images will be your favorite way to view them! Bonus points if you get a beautiful album or wall showcase that you’ll be able to look at for years to come!

5. Not having enough variety in your wardrobe choices: VARIETY is everything! Make sure that your outfits aren’t all dresses, jeans, or shorts. Try to incorporate a variety of not only pieces, but style as well (like urban, organic, casual, and sophisticated). Can you believe it’s already January of your senior year?!? If you haven’t booked your senior session yet, it’s time! We’re booking for Spring 2023 sessions and they are selling out quickly! Connect with us in our DM’s and we’ll send your our Senior Magazine and start the process for reserving your session date!
