The Before

Yearbook deadlines – If your school is creating a yearbook, find out when they need your digital photo file. This will help you plan ahead.

The location – The location of your senior session should fit in with your personality and the story you want to tell. Picture yourself doing what you love – where would that usually be? There are always lots of great location ideas to choose from here in Central Florida.  We’ll talk this over and customize a session that fits you and your style.

Schedule in advance – You may need to schedule it a few months early to avoid missing out and meet the yearbook deadlines.

The outfit – You can decide on an outfit once you’ve chosen your location, or you can do both at the same time. Your outfit should also represent who you are and fit in with the location you’ve chosen. Just make sure your outfit isn’t too distracting or it will end up being the focus of your photos.

Hair and makeup arrangements – Don’t leave your hair and makeup arrangements for too late either. Decide on your final look and whether or not you want to do your own hair and makeup.  Having your hair done helps it hold up during your session so consider this treat.

During

Set aside 2 hours – The average senior photo session takes 1 to 2 hours, so take a few hours out of your day. This should include time to get ready.

Meeting up – On the day of your session, you will meet me at your location at a specific time. There’s no need to be nervous. I’m there to make sure you have a good time and get the photos you’ve envisioned.

Prepare to change outfits – Some seniors prefer to bring along an extra outfit to change into during their shoot. This is because one outfit might look better in a certain location than another. We’ll make a basic game plan ahead of time.

Bring some company – Having a best-friend come along can help you feel more at ease and bring out some of your best smiles. Feel free to have them tag along with your parent.
