Here are some of our favorite senior picture ideas:

1. Outdoor setting: Consider taking your senior photos in a natural setting, such as a park or garden. This can add a sense of whimsy and youth to your photos.
2. Urban setting: For a more edgy, city vibe, try taking your senior photos in an urban setting. This could be in the downtown area of your city or in an interesting architectural setting like our funk zone or a colorful mural, or even a parking garage with a great view. 
3. Sports or hobbies: Incorporate your passions and hobbies into your senior photos as in the example. ofthe ballerina below.. If you’re a athlete, consider taking some photos on the field or court. If you love music, bring along your instrument.

How Much Do Senior Pictures Cost?

I charge $475 for my 45 minute session with three retouched files and a gallery of high res selects. $675 for up to an hour and a half and five high res selects which allows us to go to multiple locations and change into multiple senior picture outfits.  The Full Session also includes more selects in the gallery and time to include friends and family into the session as well.
