As a parent you know that your child’s senior year is full of big moments, and senior pictures are one of them. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures their personality, interests, and this exciting transition in life. But as a parent, you might be wondering what to expect, how to prepare, and how to make sure everything goes smoothly. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!

What to Expect at the Session

Senior sessions are all about making your teen feel comfortable, confident, and excited about their photos. I guide them through poses, keep things fun, and make sure we’re capturing images that feel natural to them. The goal isn’t stiff, awkward smiles—it’s personality, movement, and real expressions!

Each session is tailored to the senior, whether that means incorporating hobbies, a favorite location, or even a beloved pet. I’ve worked with all kinds of seniors—some who love the camera and others who take a little time to warm up. Either way, I make sure they feel great and enjoy the process.

How to Help Your Senior Prepare

1. Encourage Outfits That Feel Like Them – I always recommend a mix of casual and dressy outfits, but the key is wearing something they feel confident in.
2. Talk About Location Ideas – We can shoot somewhere meaningful, like a family farm or a favorite hangout spot, instead of just the usual park setting.
3. Remind Them It’s Okay to Be Nervous – Most seniors start out a little unsure, but by the end, they always tell me, “That wasn’t so bad!”
4. Bring the Essentials – Water, extra shoes, a lint roller, or even a favorite playlist can help them feel at ease.

Making the Most of Your Senior’s Photos

After the session, you’ll receive beautifully edited images that showcase your senior’s personality. Whether you’re planning to display them on your walls, send them to family, or use them for graduation announcements, these photos will be something you cherish forever.
