How to Make Your Senior Session Unique!

      

LET’S TELL YOUR STORY!

When it comes to senior photography, I know how important it is to capture photos that reflect you—your passions, personality, and unique story. While there are many ways to make your senior session stand out, incorporating props is one of my favorites! Props, along with creative clothing choices, meaningful locations, and fun poses, bring out what makes your journey truly special.

Let’s dive into some ways to make your senior session one-of-a-kind!

1. Location

Props aren’t just items you bring—they can also be meaningful places.

  • Do you have a barn or a cool fence on your property that feels like home? Let’s use it!
  • Love sports? Let’s head to the football field, basketball court, or wherever you spent years perfecting your game.
  • Whether it’s the backyard swing, your favorite coffee shop, or a place you’ve always dreamed of visiting, we’ll make your photos unforgettable by highlighting locations close to your heart.

 

2. Sports Gear, Jerseys, or Your Letterman Jacket

Celebrate the athlete within you!

  • Bring your old uniforms or wear your pads, helmet, or full uniform for action-packed shots.
  • Incorporate your letterman jacket or a simple item like a football or ballet shoes.
  • Got medals or trophies? Let’s showcase your accomplishments in style!

3. Hobbies and Activities

Let’s highlight all the sides of you.

  • If you’re an athlete and love dressing up, we can mix it up—think formal dress and cleats or a bat!
  • Aspiring chef? Let’s take photos in the kitchen with your tools of the trade.
  • Music lover? Bring your instrument—whether it’s a guitar, sheet music, or even a drum set.
  • Proud of your car? It makes an excellent photo prop, too!

4. Pets

Your furry (or not-so-furry) friends are part of your story!

 

  • Dogs, cats, horses, or any special pet in your life can make your session even more meaningful.
  • Let’s capture the bond you share with these beloved family members.

5. Accessories

These small details can make a big impact.

 

  • Hats, scarves, jewelry, sunglasses, or even your class ring add personal flair to your photos.
  • Want to bring some extra fun? Balloons, confetti, glitter, or school banners are great ways to make your photos pop!

 

6. Special Outfits

Show off your style with standout looks!

 

    • Wear a homecoming dress, prom gown, or even a favorite outfit that makes you feel confident and radiant.
    • Let’s celebrate your achievements with professional shots of those memorable outfits.

 

 

 

7. Legacy Pieces

Add sentimental value to your session.

  • Incorporate heirlooms, like jewelry from your grandmother or a blanket made by a loved one.
  • Include meaningful items, like a tractor you rode with your grandfather or a cherished family car.
  • Bring a kindergarten photo for a creative then-and-now shot that tells the story of your growth.
