Guys, preparing for your high school senior portrait session is important to ensure that you have a positive and successful experience.

We started out with a complimentary zoom planning session to ensure a successful shoot and bring out some of his personality. On the day of his shoot, we made sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks available to keep the energy lively, we even ordered in some City Bird and the images couldn’t be any more expressive!

Here are some steps to help you prepare:

  1. Choose your outfit carefully. Pick something that represents your personal style and makes you feel confident. Avoid clothing with large logos, distracting patterns, or bright colors that may detract from your face.

  2. Groom yourself. Get a fresh haircut at least a week before your session, and shave or trim your facial hair if you have any. Make sure your nails are clean and trimmed as well.

  3. Stay hydrated and get enough rest. This will help you look and feel your best on the day of your session.

  4. Decide on the location and style of your photos. Think about what type of setting you would like to be photographed in, such as a park, cityscape, or studio. Consider the mood and tone you want your photos to convey.

  5. Practice your posing and facial expressions. Take some time to practice different poses and facial expressions in front of a mirror to see what looks natural and comfortable for you.

  6. Bring any props or accessories that you would like to include in your photos. This could be anything from sports equipment to musical instruments.

  7. Communicate with your photographer. Make sure to let your photographer know what you are looking for in your photos and any specific poses or ideas you have in mind. Don't be afraid to ask questions or provide feedback during the session.

Remember, your senior portraits are a reflection of your personality and style. By taking the time to prepare and communicate with your photographer, you can ensure that your photos are a true representation of who you are.
