One of the questions I get asked a lot is, “Where should we take senior pictures?”
And honestly there isn’t one right answer.
Like for this senior’s session, the first location was at his school’s soccer field and then his second location was downtown Lakeland. It ended up being the perfect combination because each location brought something different to his gallery.
The soccer field was meaningful. It’s where he spent countless hours practicing, competing, and making memories throughout high school. Those photos tell part of his high school story.
Downtown Lakeland was chosen more for the look and feel. The variety of backgrounds, architecture, and overall vibe gave us a completely different aesthetic and added so much variety to his gallery. I can’t wait to share more from that location.
This is actually one of the reasons I love that most of my senior session options include up to two locations. My favorite approach is usually choosing one location that feels personal to who you are and one location that matches the overall vibe you want for your photos.
But there are no rules.
If you want two locations simply because you love how they look, that’s great. If you want two locations that are meaningful and tell your story, that’s great too.
The best locations are the ones that make you excited about your photos. Whether that’s a soccer field, a downtown street, a farm, a beach, or somewhere that holds special memories, your senior session should feel like you.
Because years from now, the photos that mean the most won’t just show what you looked like as a senior. They’ll remind you of who you were and all the memories you made during this season of life. ❤️
