The Class of 2021
is starting their senior year summer.
Senior year is filled with so many memories,
make senior pictures ones you capture.
Questions I most often get asked about senior pictures.
Which session is best for senior pictures?
This depends on how many outfit changes and location types you are looking for. Some like to bring something casual, dressy and then a sports type uniform. Some prefer one outfit. There is no right or wrong to the number of outfits as everyone's ideas are different on pictures. This is something we can discuss.
When should I take senior pictures?
When you are ready!
We can take pictures in any season but depends what you are looking for. Some love the summer with warmth, colors and some sun. Summer brings more flexibility with less activities and homework and longer days with daylight.
While others love fall colors and attire better, sessions are limited to after school/weekends. Fall is a busy time of year for photographers so booking early is better.
Some prefer to do them right before graduation. Spring weather in Chicago can be all over waiting for things to bloom and not be rainy. Make sure you consider the turn around time to get your images back if need them for a senior slideshow or graduation announcement.What to wear?
I always say make sure to wear something that is comfortable and matches your personality. Also while wearing something trendy is an option for one image, you often want something more classic, as these will be the pictures you look back on. Keeping it simple focuses on the graduate. Also wear something that move well and you can sit comfortably in. So if you do not love the outfit and feel comfortable don't bring it to this session!
Where should we take pictures?
Over the years I have taken pictures at the high school, your home, local parks, local downtown areas to downtown Chicago. These are the last big pictures they get so I usually say ask them for ideas too.
