I had a conversation with a senior mom this week that reminded me of something a lot of parents don't realize.
If your school requires a specific photographer for the yearbook photo, that does not mean all of your senior pictures have to be taken there.
The yearbook photo is required for the yearbook. Everything else? You have OPTIONS.
And honestly, it's certainly easier to get everything done in one place when you're already there for the required photo. But easier isn't always better.
When choosing a newborn photographer, wedding photographer, or family photographer, most people look for the photographer whose style, experience, and personality are the best fit for them.
Senior portraits are no different.
That's why senior portraits have always been the heart of my business. I spend time getting to know my seniors before their session. Their sport, their passions, their pets, their favorite places, and the things that make them who they are.
The goal isn't just a nice picture. It's about an experience they'll never forget and images that capture who they are at this moment in their lives. Images their family will look back on and say, "That was so them."
