TIPS AND TRICKS

How To Have A Great Senior Portrait Session

Choose a location that fits your personality as a couple
How do you spend the most of your time as a couple? Is it outdoors in nature? Strolling downtown checking out the latest coffee shop or restaurant for brunch? Did you meet at a college around Atlanta? We want to choose a location that fits your personality as a couple.
Hire the same photographer for your engagement AND wedding
It's important that your comfortable with your photographer on your wedding day. Engagement sessions is a great time to get to know each other.
Act natural, loosen up, and feel the love!
I know this can seem like a lot to ask if it's the first time infront of a camera with your partner. If you are feeling the love, then so can the camera and it will show in the photos. Hug, kiss, hold hands.. Remember, your engaged!
Use this opportunity to test out your makeup artist
Makeup looks a lot different on camera then it does in person. We don't want your fiancé to see the actual makeup style you will be using for your wedding day, but you can test out the amount of makeup with your engagement session.

LET'S GET THIS RIGHT

Do's & Dont's For Your Senior Portrait Session

Here's some do's and don'ts that will help ensure your satisfaction with your senior portrait session. If you have any further questions, Stephanie will be happy to discuss during your free consultation.

"DO" PERSONALIZE YOUR PHOTO SESSION

Wear your team jersey, bring your musical instrument, or even your high school sweetheart. How can we best represent your personality during your high school years.
"DONT" CHOOSE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS FAR APART

We welcome multiple locations, but try to keep them within a five to ten mile radius. We only have about a two to three hour window of prime sunlight, so we don't want to spend too much time in a car driving around.
"DO" CHOOSE A LOCATION THAT IS MEANINGFUL

Whether you spent your high school years playing a sport, horseback riding, or out in nature hiking. It's important to choose a location or clothing that is represents where you spent most of your time.
"DONT" FORGET A CHANGE OF SHOES

Choosing shoes that are appropriate for your location is very important. Three inch heels are going to be hard to hike to a waterfall in. Make sure to bring a pair of comfortable shoes if your location requires some exercise.
"DO" BRING MULTIPLE OUTFITS

Feel free to bring multiple outfits to add some diversity to your photos. I suggest some outfit options that are fancy, casual, or even your varsity jacket.
"DONT" FORGET YOUR CAP AND GOWN

I know it may seem cliche, but make sure to bring your cap and gown so we can grab some formal photos as well.
"DO" HAVE FUN WITH IT!

You only graduate from high school once in your life, so enjoy the moment! This session is all about you and your accomplishments, so let's have fun with it!
"DONT" FORGET YOUR COLLEGE SWAG

Don't forget to bring some photo college accessories to personalize your photo session!
