Senior Portraits Outdoors – Senior Boy Session in the Woodlands

I realized that I completely forgot to blog this handsome guy’s session from ages ago! One of my first senior boys that I photographed in the Woodlands for his senior portrait sessions, so long ago and still one of my favourite sessions! He had such a classic look, and really great style. We made use of dramatic light in parking garages and canals around the Woodlands area, for a more urban feel to his shoot with lots of concrete, reflections, and directional light.

I offer a senior boy portrait special, a mini session just for guys, to keep it short and simple — one hour, digital images as a download, and a keepsake hard cover proof book to take home.  Ask me about my senior boy mini session special!

Street Style Senior Portraits – The Woodlands High School Senior Photographer

I got to do something a little different for this senior portrait session – a fun “urban” style shoot.  When seniors want “urban”  it’s a challenge since in the Woodlands we don’t have graffiti, broken down areas, dirty alleyways or junk yard type location. Our area is just too beautiful and well taken care of, which is a good thing!  So, for this senior shoot, we made use of  gorgeous parking garage light, colour pops, and window reflections to give a downtown air to her senior pictures. I’m always up for a good challenge!

Elena started with two beautiful summery dresses, the first in a bright colour to give a little flair to her senior pictures.  The electric blue looks amazing with her dark hair. She chose the Luxe Senior Session, which includes hair and make up styling by professional artist Monika Gellardo. I love the straightened hair bob, a perfect style for a fresh modern look for urban street photographs.

Time for an outfit change! Elena chose two locations for her senior pictures but wanted about 80% of her shoot to be done around town. This is what I love about offering personally tailored senior sessions for my clients — we meet before the session to go over which locations fit YOUR personality best and then choose outfits that will match the look and vibe of that location. She knew she already had a knock-em-out colourful dress, so for her next wardrobe change she opted for a sweet and feminine airy sundress, with  fresh spring flowers. This dress was a perfect match for the Mediterranean style (hey, I thought I was back in Greece or Italy for a minute there!) elements we found to shoot with, and columns.

Finally, we headed to the park for a little greenery. With this rustic style outfit, the plan was to find an earthy location to match the colours and feel of her favourite couture shirt and boots. I love how her gorgeous brown eyes just pop with the reds and greens. I had a lot of fun with Elena shooting her senior portraits and helping her put together the perfect Collection to show them off.

Variety and the Senior Experience – Senior Portrait Photographer

When it comes to your senior portraits, having a senior photographer who can capture your true personality and offer variety in your senior photos is very important. For this reason, every senior session I shoot is up to three hours long, in two different locations, and allows you to have as many outfit changes as you can fit into your time slot. This ensures that we have the time to get the pictures you want, in all your favourite outfits, without feeling rushed. You want to have FUN during your senior photoshoot, and a stress-free experience.

Without imposed limits, we’re free to get one the most important elements of a fabulous senior photoshoot – variety. To make sure your gallery is chock full of gorgeous images that are unique, I make use of different locations, moods, poses, lenses and most importantly lighting. Great lighting is so important in photography, and having a senior photographer who understands light is key, and who has the professional gear to make our vision for your senior portraits a reality.

Take these two photos of Celenia during her recent senior photo shoot. Same location and shot seconds apart. The difference is the lighting, and it gives each portrait a considerably different mood and look.  The photo on the left was shot to avoid the light hitting the lens, for a clean and crisp close up portrait to show off her gorgeous eyes and skin. On the right, I allowed the golden late afternoon light to seep in and create a bit of haze, for a warm sweet summery glow. I love them both, and she looks like she just stepped out of a magazine!

Klein Collins Highschool – Senior Photographer in the Woodlands

I had so much fun with Miss Kim for her senior photography shoot this month! As a true Texas girl, we knew a field and country road would be perfect for her senior portraits – cowboy boots, a lacy white dress,  lots of wood textures, earthy colours, and just the right shades of teal and blue to bring out those gorgeous blue eyes!

It’s not too late to book a last minute senior portrait session with me before grad! CLICK HERE to email me for more information and check out my SENIOR PORTFOLIO HERE.

Congratulations on your graduation Kim and good luck next year!

Top 10 Things to Bring to Your Senior Session

It’s Fashion Friday! If you’re planning your senior portrait session, here are the TOP TEN essentials you won’t want to forget for your photo shoot!

top ten things to bring to your senior session with fashion and make up tips

1) One casual outfit that reflects your own twist on the season’s hottest trends.
2) Extra hair clips to hold back strays.
3) A bag to stash your wallet, keys, cell phone and water while we walk around location.  Also works as a prop!
4) Something that helps tell the story of you. Are you a musician? A painter or writer?
5) A super glam outfit that shows your fierce and sassy side. Choose a vibrant colour.
6) High heels or wedges. These are very flattering for all body shapes and help straighten your posture when posing.
7) Flats for walking around location. You’ll be glad two hours into the shoot when we’re strolling through a field!
8) All your favourite accessories, whether girly and glittery, soft and boho, sporty or urban chic. The more you incorporate into your senior photo session, the better variety you’ll have in your final gallery!
9) Powder (with a compact mirror) and gloss for touch ups.
10) Your cheerleading or band uniform, sports jersey, letterman jacket or any other outfit that reflects your hobbies and activities.

There you are! The most important of the essentials you’ll need to rock your senior shoot!
