We met this gorgeous high school senior at the studio for hair and makeup with one of our stylist prior to her photo shoot. We selected wardrobe and locations to reflect her personal style, and the end result is beautiful.
I adore senior portrait photography. It’s a unique moment in the life of both the high school senior and the mom. I have seen both sides of this myself.
I recall having my senior portraits and all the excitement that went along with that moment. It made my senior year so real, and reminded me of the reality of my awaiting graduation day. I was elated at every step of the process of my senior year, it was such a special time. As a mom of a graduate myself, I also know the other side of the equation.
Being the mom of a high school senior is an emotional time, one filled with excitement, pride a sometimes a little fear as well. Always excited for what the future holds for your child, but that excitement is sometime met with a little fear of the unknown…what’s to come. Even with the best laid plans, college acceptance in hand and all the technicalities covered, there’s still the emotional side. There is still a part of you wanting to hold on just a little bit longer. Even though you have spent years preparing for this moment, the reality is you are watching a piece of your heart become independent and flourish and while that’s all together wonderful, it means letting go. And letting go is hard … so very hard… especially for mommas.
I say ll that to say this … senior portrait experiences with us meet the needs of both the graduate and the parent. We play through the session with senior, having fun and focusing on capturing the perfect poses and looks. And we also capture what momma wants to hold onto as well. Over the years, we have learned what mommas like and what senior like in portraits, and we capture both. At the end of the day, we know seniors want a variety of wardrobe changes, poses and backgrounds to share on social media and mommas want cherished portraits in canvases and albums to HOLD ON TO while their senior leaves for college.
So momma, no worries - we’ve got this - you will have treasured memories of your beloved graduate. memories you can hold onto, reflect upon and adore.
And senior, no worries - we’ve got this - you will have hair and makeup with one of our stylist prior to your session - you will look and feel beautiful - we will help you through your wardrobe selection and we will select gorgeous locations and poses and you will have soooo much variety of portraits to share with friend on social media.
Allow us to walk down this road of your senior year with you and capture amazinness all along the way!
