Senior Pictures

Plan ahead for your high school senior portrait session!  First, think about location.  Do you want an urban feel?  Or is the country more your style?  Also, be sure to bring along any props (instruments, sports equipment, etc.) that help to tell your story.  This session is about you and who you are right now!  Next, think about wardrobe.  Again, be true to who you are.  Start with the most formal outfit and move to more casual.  Bring a change or two so that we can add some variety to your images.  Heck, if you end up in jeans and a t-shirt, that’s great!  Finally, talk with Mom and Dad about what you want to do with the final images.  I’m sure they have some ideas.  Seniors like the albums because you can get more images and have a beautiful book.  Upgrade for the rights to the digitals!

A Session with Maddie

Maddie certainly planned ahead for her session.  She’s from the country and wanted to have some photos with buildings in the background to ground her in the place where she now lives.  Maddie loved the look of the “city streets” in her photos!  I love the color and texture of the images too.  She brought her guitar to the session too so we got several shots of her playing the guitar.  Usually, I like to have the seniors serenade me while I photograph them, haha!  We ended the session with her cool black romper and high-heeled booties.  Such a great look, especially with her extra long legs!  What a great session!

Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I'm curious, what cards have been working for you?
It’s never just pressing a button.

It’s reading the room.
Adjusting in real time.
Knowing how to bring out confidence—even when someone feels uncomfortable in front of the camera.

The technical side matters.
But the connection, the instinct, and the ability to see what others don’t… that’s what turns it into something more.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that feel like you, you can book through the link in my bio.
Come along with me as I set up for a headshot + branding session 👇🏻

When you’re just getting started, it’s easy to think you need all the gear before you can take on client work.

You don’t.

For in-office headshots, a solid setup really comes down to a few essentials:
✅ reliable lighting
✅ a strong lens
✅ a backdrop
✅ reflectors to help control light and keep skin tones consistent

That’s how I’m able to create clean, professional headshots—without being in a studio.

And for branding? That’s where I shift.

Instead of a backdrop, I’m using the client’s space—capturing environmental images that feel more natural, personal, and aligned with their business.

Same session, two different approaches—both intentional.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about having more gear…
it’s about knowing how to use what you have.
