Vintage Inspired Senior Session – The Woodlands

For this senior portrait session, this graduating senior wanted to incorporate some authentic vintage items from her own family, like this really interesting suitcase that matched her vintage inspired patch-work dress perfectly! We had the threat of spring storms in the air, but we managed to finish the session before the rain started and came back with some gorgeous airy portraits thanks to the diffuse clouds. The field was a perfect match for her pretty blue dress as well – blue is a colour that photographs wonderfully well for your senior portraits! Lastly, no senior session is complete without one outfit to pay tribute to your chosen university or college! Hook ’em!

Fun and Dramatic Senior Portraits – The Woodlands, TX

This sweet girl was SO much fun to photograph, coming up with new poses with her gorgeous, gorgeous long hair. This is the first half of her senior portrait session in the Woodlands, with an more urban flair to incorporate her trendy wardrobe. My senior girls are always so fashion forward, with styles of their own, and completely down to earth and friendly, I always enjoying getting to spend time with them photographing their personalities.

The Woodlands Senior Photographer – Stylish Seniors

One of the fun things about this job is seeing all the amazing outfits that my seniors put together to showcase their personal style! All the girls are so different, with their own ideas on how to style their session – from country chic, to earthy boho, to classic sophistication to trendy. Some seniors bring a special dress or tunic to match the colours of the university they will be attending come fall — like this beautiful girl with her sundress in UT colours! She also came exquisitely styled in a chic black romper with matching black hat, to add some dramatic flair to her senior session. Love the variety!

The Woodlands High School Senior Pictures

This beautiful Woodlands High School senior wanted her senior portraits taken in a rustic style location, with lots of greenery and natural touches like the wooden fence, rocks and water. We found the perfect location with -bonus! – Texas bluebonnets! This session was altogether amazing, check out the first half of her senior portrait session, before we set up a gorgeous boho-in-the-field series at sunset. And no senior session is complete without taking pictures in your future university colours! Bring an outfit that represents your chosen school, and bring props (banners, signs etc) if you have them to really personalize your session.

The Woodlands Seniors – The Ice Skater

What’s so amazing about photographing high school seniors, is how very different they all are and how much energy they bring to the portraits that are all their own. This lovely girl wanted to showcase her talent as an ice skater for her senior portrait session in the Woodlands, which was fantastic since she’s the first ice skater I’ve worked with who brought costumes and her skates as props!  We shot a variety of looks in and around town for this first half of her session before heading out to the field, and this more urban style set was so full of patterns and bright hues, I love the vibrant colourfulness of the first locations contrasting with the grittiness of the concrete in the last set.

A Touch of Urban – Senior Portraits the Woodlands

This gorgeous senior had two distinct looks for her senior pictures — earthy and natural, and classic with a touch of urban styling! See the first half of her senior portrait session here, The Woodlands High School Senior Photographer.

For this part of her senior session, we were going for a more street urban vibe, using concrete, stairs and brick for a modern look. This particular color of blue photographs fantastically and looks amazing on everyone! Style tip: Always bring at least one pair of jeans or long pants for your senior session, so we can get poses that we can’t do with skirts or dresses. Seated poses are always fun and add variety to your senior session

She rocked this whole shoot, and that classic black dress  (with those orange shoes!) looks dressed up but edgy against the  brick.

Country Glam Senior Session in Magnolia

Check out the first half of this gorgeous senior’s session here – A Senior And Her Horse in Magnolia, Texas.  She had such a beautiful day for her senior portraits, and the perfect location at a horse ranch in Magnolia!

All my seniors get unlimited outfit changes, so this senior came prepared with some country glam outfits to match the rustic location. These are the things that really pull a senior photo shoot together – the right styling for the location, the right hair and make up (by  my preferred stylist, included in your retainer!) and the perfect set up and posing. We work together to make sure all the details are *just right* to make your senior portraits shine!

Urban Senior Session – The Woodlands

I LOVE urban sessions, shooting in and around buildings and the streets. This is the first part of this high school session, using the amazing light in a parking garage in the Woodlands. Parking garages are incredible for shooting senior pictures — the light is perfect, there are plenty of little spots for posing and you get a more urban, street vibe to your senior pictures.

If you’re looking for a more urban style senior session, for a modern look for your senior portraits, this is a great location option! After the parking garage, we’ll shoot around the streets, using urban elements like brick, glass, windows and city scenes. More to come from this urban session!

The Woodlands High School Senior Photographer

I love everything about this senior session! This is the first part of Lexi’s senior portrait photoshoot, since she had so many beautiful outfits and sets in there it would be impossible to put all her amazing shots in one post!

She had the most perfect weather, the perfect clothes, and the perfect hair and make up (done by my preferred stylist), so it all came together beautifully. In this post, I’m putting the more “nature” inspired photos we took around this Woodlands location, with her pretty dresses in the  amazing golden light amid the greenery.

What to Wear for Spring Senior Portraits

Getting ready for senior pictures? I have already posted about how to wear your favourite cowboy boots for your senior portraits, so go check out that blog post here: What to Wear for Senior Pictures in the Woodlands and Spring – Cowboy Boots Edition. With spring sessions almost fully booked for the class of 2016, let’s talk spring dresses!

You have your trendy outfit, your favourite jeans, your letterman jacket, and maybe your prom dress or your favourite cosplay costume all packed up and ready to go. To round out your senior portraits, and celebrate spring, consider showing your sweet girly side with a flowy spring dress in an airy neutral or pastel shade, to coordinate with the blooming spring wildflowers.

Some tips and inspiration:

what to wear for spring senior portraits

THE ESSENTIAL STYLE
Do you see yourself in a long plain dress, with a big floppy sunhat and espadrilles adding colour and character?   Or would you rather wear this season’s trendy print, in a fresh spring shade?  Choose the colour palette you want to build off, from neutral to vibrant florals, taking into consideration the vibe you want to give off — sweet and innocent, fresh and bright, or airy and emotive.

 

what to wear for senior spring sessions

THE CLASSIC WHITE DRESS
One of the freshest looks for spring is the classic white dress. It can be styled up or down, hippie or hipster, uptown or country. The beauty of the plain white dress is that you let the supporting colours and accessories take center stage. Adding blue or teal feels beachy and an ode to summer, while adding warm tones like coral or sunset orange feel earthy and floral. And any footwear — from high heels to bare toes — won’t look out of place.

 

the woodlands senior spring sessions

ADD ACCESSORIES
Glam your outfit up or down with hats, scarves, belts and boots. Go shabby chic with tasseled headpieces  or boho style with a floral crown with barefeet. Keep the colour tones in mind and try to mesh your accessories so they make sense — natural fibres with earthy toned clothing, petite and girly for feminine and airy sundresses, nude heels with classic styles. You can even add on matching props, such as umbrellas, flowers, feathers or shawls.

Country Style Texan Senior Pictures – The Woodlands Photographer

This beautiful senior chose one of my favourite spots for her senior portraits! With some old style buildings, the country vibe and the natural elements like wood and long grass, this whole senior session was so much fun to style and shoot for that pure Texan look with her boots and a gauzy white shirt.

Since we shoot for 3 hours, my seniors get multiple outfit changes, for several different looks. This senior started with a gorgeous formal black dress with lace, and her hair was perfectly styled with long ringlets at my preferred stylist.

formal-senior-portraits

the-woodlands-senior-photography-spring

We walked around the shops and found some nice buildings with geometric shapes to add interest to her senior portraits, using architecture. This is always adds a nice variety to a senior session, especially when a portion of the shoot will be done in a field or grassy areas without landmarks.

This simple white shirt is classic and really highlights the airy feel the location, without distracting from her beautiful eyes. The cut outs on the arms add a fashionable flair! Consider bringing some pieces for your senior session that are unique and show a little of your personal style.

The Woodlands Photographer – End of Year 2015

I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my clients from 2015 for making it a wonderful year full of fun sessions! I remember each and every one of you, and I really enjoyed meeting all of you and sharing some laughs while we made beautiful pictures! I put together some collages to celebrate all the fantastic faces I had the good luck and opportunity to meet this past year  — from high school seniors, to corporate executives, to tiny little newborns, and all the families inbetween! Thank you so much for making my job so easy and for allowing me to capture all these moments. I hope you cherish your portraits forever, and whenever you reach for your photo album or see that big canvas on the wall with the faces of the people you love the best, that it brings you much joy.

I look forward to seeing many of you again, and to meeting new faces this year! Cheers!

Senior and her Horse – The Woodlands and Magnolia

This gorgeous high school senior came all the way from Austin to have her senior portraits taken in Magnolia with her horse, and what a fabulous session it was! This is the first part of her senior portrait session, with her riding habit around the barn and with her beloved horse.

As with all high school senior photography sessions with Shannon Stroubakis in the Woodlands and surrounding areas, we shot for three hours with multiple outfit changes and Miss Natalee had her hair and make up professionally done by my expert stylist in a private salon room in the Woodlands.  At our Pre Consultation, we went over the perfect styling for her senior portrait session, and came up with the best way to showcase her amazingly unique style and personality!

These portraits with her sweet horse were just magical. The light and this stunning dress could not have been more beautiful.

The Bohemian White Dress – The Woodlands Senior Photographer

Having a special theme for your session is a super way to make your senior portraits fun and different, and few themes are prettier, more ethereal or more enchanting than a boho style shoot. Elegant and feminine, with a flowing white dress and flower accents, the boho style senior portrait shoot is always popular with senior girls for a reason — it’s natural, organic and the poses are so pretty and inspiring.

This beautiful girl shot the first portion of her senior session in classic Texas country style, then switched to her bohemian inspired white dress for the second half. It’s almost like getting TWO sets of senior pictures! The natural ones, with portraits for the wall and album. And the themed ones, to have fun, let loose and get a little creative for senior portraits that make a statement about you. Plus, it’s a lot of fun being a model for a day, dressed for a magazine style theme shoot!

Country Glam – Spring Texas Senior Photographer

This session sums up everything you need for a perfect country inspired senior session that’s full of style, grace and charm! The beautiful location in Spring, Texas with the tall green grass and trees. The rustic wooden fence, to add country accents as well as leading lines for visual interest.

The Woodlands Senior Style – Hats, Headbands and Headpieces

For your senior pictures, adding a touch of whimsy, glam or style to your photoshoot is as easy as a simple accessory. Many of my senior portrait clients take their senior pictures to the next level with boho leather braided headpieces, flower garlands, beaded headbands or seasonal hats, to add a little flair!

This braided leather head wrap is all the rage for a boho inspired look. Organic and earthy, it goes well with simple outfits such as a white dress or sheath, or flowing shift dress.

boho headpieces for senior pictures

For the boho look, the flower garland headpiece is always a popular choice and is really in style these days. Your flowers can be as simple or as elaborate as you want! Use colorful flowers and pair it with a white dress, string small blooms for a simple look, or match the flower color to the dress for overall color harmony.

This talented senior had not one, not two, but three unique headpieces for her senior session! The beaded crosses on her headband showcase not only her fun style but also make a statement about something important to her in her life, her faith.

I love how this quirky senior infused her senior portraits with her own unique personal style — geek chic glasses and a classic black knitted cap.

 

what to wear for senior pictures

For fall portraits, this beautiful senior chose a simple cream sweater and jeans, and added her own personal touch of style with a knitted scarf and felt hat in earth tones. It’s always best to keep the clothing simple when you add accessories, to let them shine and take center stage.

For her spring session, this gorgeous girl opted for a seasonally appropriate sunhat for some shots against the spring blooms.

Pretty Natural Senior Pictures – Creekside and East Shore The Woodlands

This gorgeous senior wanted to mix it up for senior pictures in the Woodlands and have a variety of styles to show off all sides of her – from the casual and natural, to the soft and girly, to the dramatic and glamorous. We chose two locations for different elements, with a field and flowers and golden sun, and some pathways for framing, and then off to the picturesque white picket fence with red blooms for the final hour of her senior session.

This natural location is perfect for the casual outfit, with trees and flowers and a little pond for an environmental feel. Bringing a casual outfit, like jeans or shorts, is a good idea since it allows for seated poses that won’t work in a dress.

Moving into this beautiful flower field right at sunset, we caught some amazing hazy light. This light is perfect for soft, ethereal portraits, with a golden glow. Her super trendy romper was a great match for this environment, in peony pink and stylishly cut on the sides.

 

golden-field-senior-pictures

 

Then it was off to our second location, at East Shore in the Woodlands, to catch the last rays of light on the red blooms. She had a perfect day for her senior pictures, and we found some gorgeous directional light at the white gates. This pretty location was perfect for both outfits, the pink romper and the classy little black dress.

To personalize her senior pictures, this senior paid homage to her Sri Lankan heritage with a traditional osari dress and pose. The white picket fence makes an interesting backdrop with leading lines and red flowers on their sides to frame her.

All my clients here in the Woodlands, Spring and Conroe have such style and personality, it’s so fun to meet each new senior and get pictures of their individuality! This senior chose classic portraits for her first set, and for this second set she let her fun and quirky personality loose for some portraits unique as she is — complete with fun props!

So we got creative for this second half, for some different environmental portraits unlike what you see from most standard senior photography. I like to get some collaborative and creative shots during a senior shoot, and my clients always have great ideas for poses too!

I love this amazing shot of her at the fence. Gorgeous eyes!

For her last outfit change, she went trendy but casual with one of the season’s hottest trends — colourful jeans! Paired with the black hat, jean jacket and vintage style tee, it’s a fantastic outfit that makes a statement for her senior pictures. And those cool chic glasses! Love them! Her whole personality and style just shines through.

If you play an instrument, either for your school in band or just for your own enjoyment, bring it along to personalize your senior photoshoot even more.

This set up and pose was all this clever girl’s idea! I really like it when seniors get into creative mode for their senior pictures, coming up with fun props (like this HUGE calculator and geek chic glasses!) and pose ideas.  I really like the humour she brought to her senior session, it was so much fun to shoot!

Prom Dress – Senior Photographer in the Woodlands and Spring TX

Looking for a fun and fashionable way to glam up your senior pictures? Bring along your Prom or Homecoming dress for some pretty, girly, twirly photos of your wearing your drop dead gorgeous gown! You don’t get too many chances to wear that special dress, and Homecoming and Prom are such busy days you may not get a chance to get some professional portraits of you looking glamorous and gorgeous in that gown. Choose to bring your gown along as one of your (unlimited!) wardrobe changes when you book a Luxe Senior Session with Shannon Stroubakis, or book a separate Homecoming/Prom Mini Session  for just $200. Included in your mini session is 5 digital portraits, both close up and full body, with print release.

I adore this peacock inspired gown. The colour is divine and the full skirt is perfect for twirling and dancing.
