I absolutely love finding locations with something that provides a little extra interaction, so when I found out one of my favorite locations had wildflowers I had to jump on it! During Kassidy's senior model call session, we used two different locations to give us a lot of variety and then she chose 3 different outfits. I always suggest choosing between 3-4 outfits to really give you a lot of options when choosing your images. She made sure to let me know she was really interested in FFA and we made it a priority to include her jacket in her images. During a traditional senior session, we start with a consultation (which you can read about here) but that starts the ball rolling on choosing locations and getting to know the senior and what they envision for their session.

I always want to build a senior portrait session around the individual senior, so the more detail and interests you add to your questionnaire, the better! If you play sports, we can use your uniform or field to really speak to what your high school career was spent doing. If you've worked at the same place and absolutely love the location, let's add it in! You can express a lot about who you are and what you're interested in by your clothing and the locations you choose. This particular session with Kassidy was scheduled as a model call for my location guide. So if you need help with locations or choosing what will work best in the time frame we're together, I've got you covered!

Once I get your questionnaire back, we’ll meet for a consultation and we can go over all of your answers. I love getting creative with high school seniors and finding ways to bring their ideas to life. I’ll go location scouting based on what type of locations you like and can even suggest locations that I’ve shot at before. Do you like urban sessions where we might go up on a rooftop? What about a nature loving student that wants to go hike around central New York? We can do it all and provide the perfect senior photos that are exactly what you’re looking for.

If you're still on the fence about working with me or another photographer, I've written a post about how to choose the right photographer and style for your portraits. You can read it here!
