Senior Sessions in Chicago Northshore

Time to take those senior photos and decide what to highlight. I get so many questions around senior photos I decided to put all my answers possible into one place. Now, I still find it important to take the time to get on the phone with your photographer to talk through questions and get your answers because each senior and each session is a unique and it is important to get a feel for if you will click.

When should I be taking my senior photos?
Answer: Anytime the summer before or during your senior year. One of my answers is going to be it really depends on you and your style. What do you want to be wearing? Summer clothes or fall attire? Spring dresses or cozy sweaters? You want to be comfortable in what you are wearing and also love the time you are taking your photos. Do you love the flowers in bloom or the fall colors on the trees?

Where should I be taking my photos?
Answer: Where do you feel most you? Are you a nature loving person? Do you love flowers and trees, or are you more of a downtown feeling person and love the streets of your hometown and the coffee shop? Do you want a mix of the two? Are there spots you regularly frequent that you want to highlight and remember in your senior photos?

What should I wear? Can I bring multiple outfits?
Answer: What makes you feel amazing and confident. And yes! Depending if you booked a full or a short session multiple outfits is totally doable! I bring a pop up changing station for just this option. You and your photographer can talk more about your outfits and work to see what outfits go with what locations more in detail to make sure they work together.

What about my special interests? Can we include those?
Answer: Please do! You want to make these all about you and what you do and love. The photos do not ALL have to be around one thing except YOU, but it is important and fun to bring in the bits of you that are near and dear to you at this time in your life.

What about my pet:
Answer: Let’s Do it! See answer above! Always feel free to include what you love!

Any other last tips or tricks?
Answer: Talk to your photographer and fill out the questionnaire before the session. This really helps us prepare. And HAVE FUN!
