What You Need to Know about Your Senior Pics

Here's my approach to senior pictures: Keep it simple. Keep it beautiful. Keep it all about the senior.

I work with each senior to design a shoot that highlights who they are and what they're about. We talk about the location. We talk about fashion. And we talk about how we can portray who they are in picture.

So what do you need to know about getting your pics done?

1) Think timeless beauty. Try to pick outfits that are trendy, but will last the test of time. I'm not so sure people wearing MC Hammer pants in their senior pics really look back too fondly on their outfit choices.

2) Chose locations that highlight a bit of who you are. Are you introverted? Maybe try taking pics at a coffee shop. Are you trendy and fashion-forward? Try a downtown urban location. Are you outdoorsy? Look for a place with grass and trees, or up in the mountains. Or maybe you want to do your pics at your favorite hangout place because you've spent so much time there it practically defines you.

3) Bring a few props to help tell a story. I had one senior bring her journal because she spends so much time writing. I loved this idea and we took several shots near a stream while she was journaling. If there's something (or someone) that's really special to you, bring it along!

4) Book early. You don't want to wait until you're in the middle of filling out college applications and studying for finals to do your senior pics. Try to plan for them at the beginning of your senior year, or even during the summer of your junior year. Plus, waiting until the last minute may mean that you're not able to include your pics in the yearbook, so plan early and you'll be good to go.

Here are a few of my favorite senior pics from this year, incorporating some of the tips I mentioned. If you're interested in booking a session with me, visit www.bgphotography.biz or email me at yvette@bgphotography.biz.

{Haley}'s Senior Pics

I had such a great time this weekend with Haley. She's one of the sweetest, most out-going, and active seniors I've ever met. We decided to do her shoot both downtown, to show off her sweet and sophisticated side, and then to highlight her fun-loving nature we headed to one of my favorite Tucson places, the zoo. I really love how we were capture so many sides of this gorgeous girl. I hope you love these pics as much as I do!  (And if you're interested having gorgeous senior pics like Haley's you can find more information at my website at www.bgphotography.biz.)

 

 

{Matt}'s Senior Pics (plus how YOU can get your senior pics)are up on the blog!

Matthew is a great guy. It feels kind of funny saying that because I've known Matthew since he was super young and it's hard to believe he'll be graduating next year. He's turned into a nice, funny, active and super-involved person and it was great taking pictures and catching up with his family. Hope you love his pics!

{Josie}'s Senior Pics (and how YOU can have incredible pics too!)

To say Josie is a wonderful girl is an understatement. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she sincere, humble, outgoing, and cheerful. And this girl has plans! After high school she'd like to be a jet pilot (or a model!). Well Josie, I had a blast doing your senior pictures this year. You were a natural in front of the camera and it was so fun getting to know you!

{Dani} and {Samantha}'s Senior Pics (plus info about YOUR senior pics!)

I had the incredible privilege of photographing Dani and Samantha for their senior pics last weekend. I was so excited to get to work with them because I had heard so much about them. I met their mother during our adoption classes, and she had spent ten weeks telling us how wonderful her twins were. :) Well, it turns out that mom wasn't kidding. These two girls really are fabulous.
