Whether you’re headed off to college, launching a career, or simply taking some time to enjoy life’s next chapter, your senior portrait session is the perfect chance to capture who you are right now.
We believe senior pictures should be fun, relaxed, and full of personality. Your session should feel more like hanging out with a friend than a formal photo shoot. Not sure where to start? Don’t worry—we’ve got some creative and totally Instagram-worthy ideas to help you make your senior portraits stand out from the crowd.
1. Letterman Jacket or Sports Gear
You earned that varsity letter—show it off! Whether it’s your Letterman jacket, football helmet, soccer cleats, or cheer pom-poms, including your sports gear in your senior pictures is a great way to celebrate your dedication and hard work throughout high school. Also, you might want to consider taking photos at the sports field. Whether you played football. Soccer, ran track, or were part of the swim team, taking senior pictures on the field is a great way to highlight this part of your life.
2. Highlight Your Hobbies
Love painting? Skateboarding? Playing video games? Whatever your thing is, let’s include it! Bringing your favorite hobby into your senior pictures adds a personal touch and makes your session feel truly you. These photos will be a snapshot of what you loved most during your high school years.
3. Musical Instrument
Are you in band, orchestra, or just love to jam in your free time? Bring your instrument to your senior photo session! Whether it’s a guitar, violin, trumpet, or drumsticks, incorporating music into your senior portraits is a beautiful way to highlight your passion and talent.
4. Feature Your Ride
Your car, motorcycle, or even your bike is more than just transportation—it’s part of your story. Whether it’s your first car, your dream ride, or a vintage bike, let’s include it in your senior pictures. From dramatic sunset shots to fun, casual vibes, your wheels make a bold statement.
