7 Senior Portrait Ideas

Other seniors aren’t even thinking about.

1.  Go Somewhere Amazing!

Make your senior portraits an adventure. Combine your love of fashion with a trip to New York (or Paris even!) and an amazing on-location photo shoot. If you are an extreme sports enthusiast, maybe race car driving in the Nevada desert is in order. Not only do you get totally unique senior portraits, but you’re going to make incredible memories your entire family will cherish for the rest of your lives.

2.  Embrace your passion

What do you absolutely love to do? Maybe it’s sports or dance, or maybe it’s glass blowing or the flying trapeze. Your passion is what makes you unique, so embrace it in your senior portraits. Maybe you are passionate about more than one thing. That’s ok. There is probably a way to combine them.

3.  Include your friends

What better way to make your senior portraits special than by including your friends? Plan a fun outing to some of your favorite places, with individual and group photo shoots at each stop along the way.

Grab a few friends and do a “girls day out”. Shopping at your favorite boutique, lunch at that soda shop you love to hang out in, and a stop by the fountain in front of the school for a little “wading and splashing”.

For the guys maybe it’s off to check out some custom hot rods, lunch at your favorite BBQ joint and wrapping up on the 4 wheelers at the ranch. The whole point is it should be a fun day you will enjoy with your closest friends.

This is another one of those senior portrait ideas that other seniors aren’t even considering – but everyone who does it, talks about how much fun it is and how special the images are to them.

4.  Bring your dog

You love that four-legged fur ball more than you love bacon! So don’t be shy about including them in your photo shoot. Just be sure you talk about your pet with your photographer before the shoot. We photograph lots of seniors with their pets, and are happy to do the same for you, but we want to make sure that your pet is as prepared for the photo shoot as you are, so let’s plan it ahead of time!

5.  Bring your car

Your car is their pride and joy.  Those wheels will be taking you on the first major journey of your life! So let’s include them in your senior portraits! And don’t think this is just for the guys. We photograph as many girls with their cars as we do guys!
