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.
Outfit change, into this gorgeous blue dress with lace accents. This colour photographs like a dream.

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:
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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!
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.

I met this handsome, dapper young man for his senior portraits to use for the yearbook page celebrating senior year, and I was so impressed with his sense of style and polished look! We had many people around the park compliment him on how handsome and fashionable he looked. It’s always nice to see a young man in a suit, all put together and looking sharp!
With my senior boys, we arrange a short shoot that gives you the fabulous images you want to show off to your friends, and the important portraits your family wants to remember your senior year. You also receive a hard cover spiral bound proofing album with your entire gallery of images in printed form.

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!
This lacy umbrella made a perfect prop to accompany this session, as a little feminine touch. The boho look is about airiness and grace, to evoke a feeling of down to earth natural beauty and the power of our softer side.

When it comes to senior portraits, what the guys want and need is very different from what the girls want and need, as far as number of outfit changes and styles go, and in overall time invested in the senior photoshoot. Here at Shannon Stroubakis Photography in Spring and the Woodlands, my goal is to create a photoshoot for your senior pictures that gives you what you want and what you need so you’re entirely happy with your senior pictures. I have a special mini shoot designed just for them. An hour in length, a small collection of amazing photos for your graduation cards and announcements, a proofbook so you have them in printed form, and still enough time to get several outfits in there as well.
The special FOR THE GUYS mini session includes:
Keep your senior pictures as simple as you want, with straight up portraits, or include your car or truck, Letterman jacket, or sports gear.
To personalize your shoot, you can also bring along the gear for your hobbies, and show off your special skills.

Introducing the beautiful upgrade to the 5×7 photobook featured here : 5×7 Senior Photobook. This substantial upgrade to your Collection includes 20 full pages of your favourite photos from your senior, family, maternity or engagement session, with an extra photo on the front cover. Use all colour images, or mix it up with black and white versions for diversity.
These photobooks are all individually crafted by hand, bound using glues that do not harm colour stability. Each page is a true colour print on professional paper, so you know you’re receiving the highest quality. Unlike the 5×7 photobook, the larger 8×8 and 10×10 photobooks feature soft matte leather around the spine and back of the book, for a fine art quality to your album.
Shown here is the 8×8 size album, with soft black matte leather around the spine.
Your photobook pages start on the right, with a slip of protective black acid free paper between the page and the photo cover. The book opens and lay flat, to make it easy for you to enjoy your pages.
Thick full colour pages, full vivid colour images, and a heavy sturdy leather spine make this photobook the premium choice.
Your album makes a great coffee table book and conversation starter. Each book comes with it’s own black box for protection and storage. If you’re looking for the best album to show off your senior, maternity, family or engagement photos, this is the one! We’ll talk about the best choice to meet your needs when we meet for your Viewing Appointment, and select your top images to feature in your book.
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 right styling, with natural make up and hair styling. And the most perfect blue dress, a little airy and flowy and ever so slightly boho!
This pretty senior makes it all look so easy, with her bright smile and perfect posing!
Moving around the location for variety, and time for an outfit change! I adore this combination of dusky rose with the navy blue. So stylish!
Last but not least, the perfect prop to announce where you’ll be attending school come fall! This senior is proud to be bound for Alabama!

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.
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.
Such a gorgeous piece, with tulle and lace and crystals.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Looking for something a little different for your senior pictures here in the Woodlands, Spring and Conroe? How about shooting a set during your senior photoshoot in Old Hollywood Glamour style!?
We finished up this Woodlands senior’s senior pictures around the Waterway and gardens, in a more natural style and then for one last outfit change she switched to this drop dead gorgeous red dress for some classic and classy portraits using the amazing light in the canals. Having variety in your senior pictures is so important, and also gives you a chance to do something unique and fun! I’m always open to ideas for your senior portrait session, if you want to do a theme shoot or a certain look or style, and we’ll discuss all the details at your in person consultation before the big shoot day.

When planning your senior portrait session, show your school pride and bring along your high school Letterman jacket. You worked hard for those badges and accomplished great things during your time in high school, so show them off with great portraits that your parents will want to print and share with the family. Your Letterman jacket is a great element to add to your senior pictures, to tell a little of the story of your high school career and show some of your talents, activities and your personality. Here is a selection of pictures from recent senior portrait sessions for The Woodlands, Spring,Klein and Conroe area high schools, for inspiration!

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!
Geek chic, for the win!

With unlimited outfit changes and so many location backdrops, it’s hard to fit all of one senior session into one post! Check out the second half of this senior photography session here in the Woodlands, using more of the natural elements of this location and the last few outfit changes, and be sure to take a peek at the first half here!
I encourage variety in your senior photos, and mixing it up with your homecoming or prom dress, some formal wear, and then dressing it down with some trendy pieces or casual clothes for a relaxed feel. This senior chose pretty sundresses and her favourite pair of skinny jeans and a cute trendy top.
The eyes are the window to your soul, so we’ll show off your gorgeous eyes with some pretty headshots. These are perfect for if you need some natural, but stunning, pictures if you rush next year at your University!
When shooting, my goal is to find locations that have the elements you are looking for in your senior portraits — greenery, flowers, staircases, trees, bridges, tall grasses or busy streets. But most importantly for me, is the beauty and quality of the light in the location you choose. I find the corners of the setting that has pretty, flattering light to make your senior pictures shine and bring magic to your photoshoot.
After you finish off the set in the trendy outfit of the season (maxi dresses are perfect for spring and late summer senior sessions!) change into your some jeans and sandals for some more casual and natural portraits of you, just as you are. These are always your mom’s favourites!
Lastly, don’t forget your class ring, letterman jacket, band or cheerleading uniform, or an homage to your sports team. These little things make you unique, and you’ll want to remember your hobbies and accomplishments!
I had a great time with this beautiful senior, and look forward to meeting you for your session!

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.

This sweet and cheerful senior was so easy to photograph – her sunny personality just shone through in every portrait! We chose a location in the Woodlands for her senior photos, where the garden provided a lot of pretty greenery to match her down to earth and easy going nature. We almost got rained out, but we crossed our fingers and ended up with a beautiful day with some cloud cover and light sun, a perfect shooting day for her senior pictures!
I love her outfit choice here — the classic white dress and jean jacket combination is perfect for senior pictures! Throw in the cowboy boots, and now you’re Texas style!
Outfit change, and heading out to the woods for some natural portraits! The sun peeked out a little for us, for a touch of golden light on her hair.
This senior is proud to be off to Texas A&M next year, a future Aggie!
To personalize your senior photoshoot, bring all the little things that make you unique. This Woodlands High senior wanted to include her favourite accessory — this cute and quirky straw hat, that set off her beautiful brown eyes.
She also wanted to showcase her love of books, and brought several of her favourites. She suggested this set up and pose, and I love it when clients get actively involved in their senior photoshoot planning and make suggestions! I want to make sure your senior pictures say something important and personal about you!

What guys want from their senior portrait session and what girls want are usually very, very different things. Here at Shannon Stroubakis Photography in Spring and the Woodlands, my goal is to create a photoshoot for your senior pictures that gives you what you want and what you need so you’re entirely happy with your senior pictures. So for boys, who don’t want to fuss and don’t need a long session to accommodate various fashion and hair styles, I have a special mini shoot designed just for them. An hour in length, a small collection of amazing photos for your graduation cards and announcements, a proofbook so you have them in printed form, and still enough time to get several outfits in there as well.
For this College Park senior, his vision for his senior pictures was to include his favourite possession — his truck! We made that happen by driving it into the field with plenty of space (and no distracting elements like a parking lot full of cars or telephone poles) and getting a variety with both close up portraits and sweeping wide angle shots. Then we moved out to the field for some classic portraits for the announcements.
This guy was a ton of fun to photograph with his and his mom and girlfriend helping and laughing! Great shoot, thanks for choosing me as your photographer!

One thing I love about my job is I get to meet clients here in the Woodlands, Spring and Conroe who are in such a fantastic time in their lives — graduating from high school, getting ready for prom, celebrating their senior year, and looking forward to what the next year has in store for them. It’s such a fun time, and everyone is always excited!
For senior pictures, we want to wrap all that excitement into a great day of shooting and just having fun! For the girls, their hair and make up has been professionally styled by an amazing stylist I’ve arranged for them, so they’re relaxed and ready for the shoot. I meet with all my clients before the session, so we already know exactly what types of shots we are after!
This lovely senior student from College Park had a fabulous sense of style. Beautiful, colourful and a little quirky! I love the combination of the fun teal dress with the spunky red heels.
A change of location, and a change of wardrobe, and ready for the next set of senior portraits. Variety is always good for your senior pictures, and having as many outfit changes as you can fit into your three hour slot lets you change things up and show more of who you are!
With prom coming up, bring your prom dress so we can get some fantastic shots of you in your gown or tux. You’ll be too busy on the day of prom to get professional portraits done, and you’ll want to make sure you have amazing pictures of you looking fabulous in that special dress!
Stay tuned for more from this senior session here in the Woodlands, where we move into nature for some casual portraits!

It’s your senior year, a time to think about how you got to where you are and also to dream big about the future. When it comes to your senior portraits, you want to pictures to show you as you are now, but also all the amazing things you have to look forward to! So for your senior pictures, bring something along to represent your present accomplishments, such as your high school Letterman jacket or your class ring. And then bring something to represent your upcoming years as a University or College undergrad, or a special trip or internship you have planned. Here’s a few ideas on how to incorporate your upcoming endeavours into your senior portrait session!
WEAR YOUR COLOURS
Are you off to Texas State? Bring some clothing with maroon and gold, to signify where you’ll be at school next year. Or burnt orange and white if you’re off to UT. This gorgeous young lady is on her way in September to Johns Hopkins University, where she received early acceptance for Pre Med. Their colours include Columbia blue and she looks amazing in their colours!
Can you guess where this pretty senior will be attending? Those are Baylor colours!!
BRING A SIGN BOARD
A great DIY project for your upcoming senior photos is to make your own sign board! You can use a chalk board, or make your own poster. The great thing about making your own is that you get to choose the slogan, and be more creative! This gorgeous senior is proud to be Bama Bound!
BANNERS AND PENNANTS
With your university acceptance package, you often get a complimentary pennant or banner for you to display, to kick off the school pride. Get your hands on a school pennant from your chosen University, and hold it up! This beauty was all smiles with her banner for Texas A&M, she’s ready to be an Aggie! Gig ’em!!
INCORPORATE PATTERNS AND ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SCHOOL
This stunning senior is excited to be off to Alabama, and brought not just a school pennant but wore this adorable hounds-tooth patterned dress. Everyone knows hounds-tooth goes with Crimson Tide!
So there you go! It’s easy to represent the school you’ll be attending come the new semester, and everyone will see how excited you are and your school pride!

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. This time, since it’s spring, let’s talk about those pretty pretty girly dresses we all love to wear when the warm weather finally arrives!
With your senior portrait session here with Shannon Stroubakis, your senior photographer in the Woodlands, Conroe, Oak Ridge, Tomball and Spring, you get THREE hours and all the outfit changes you can cram in there. Awesome, right? So 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 match the spring flowers.
Some tips for you along with some visual inspiration – variety of super-girly spring dresses worn by my past senior portrait clients here in the Woodlands!
CHOOSE YOUR PALETTE
Do you see yourself in a long white eyelet dress, with a big floppy sunhat and espadrilles? Or maybe a short and flirty sundress in floaty chiffon, the colour of spring daffodils or mint? 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.
ADD ACCESSORIES
Glam your outfit up or down with hats, scarves, belts and boots. Go shabby chic with tasseled headpieces and feathers, 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.
CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION TO MATCH
When we talk about which location suits your personal style best, we’ll go over all your outfit choices and narrow down which location in the Spring and Woodlands area best fit you. It makes sense to to shoot out in a flower field if you are looking for a more au naturale type session, with a spring dress in nature tones. If you want to go glam and trendy and pair your spring dress with heels and shopping bags, we’ll head to a more urban location. It’s all up to you!

You’re getting an experience that makes your senior picture session easy, stress free, and where you get to feel like a rock star for the day. I’m not just going to leave your floundering around the interwebz, searching for “make up tips for senior photography sessions” or “how to look your best for your senior shoot”. Your Luxe Senior Session comes with an appointment with a professional make up artist, who will style you exactly the way you should be for your senior pictures — beautiful, glowing, natural and camera ready. The make up artist and stylist I work with, Monika Gallardo, is a professional with years of experience. She only uses the best products to ensure your look is flawless.

We had such an amazing time at Sheridan’s photoshoot, I was sad to see the sun set and the end of all that gorgeous light! For her senior photography session, we set up early to have enough time to fit all her gorgeous outfits in, and cover every inch of her chosen location, to get as much variety as we could for her senior portraits. She was such a trooper and kept on smiling. Definitely one of the stars of the Class of 2015 senior portrait year here!
We shot right at the edge of where the light met the shadows for some drama. Those “walking” shots and “twirling” ones are pretty hard to get right, but Sheridan rocked all the poses! For her first outfit, she chose this fun and funky dress – black and white stripes with that brilliant pop of bright blue to set off her amazing eyes.
Time for a change – second outfit! More casual, to do some seated shots and show off those awesome boots. The amazing make up artist, Monika Gallardo, can do anything with hair! I love the soft curls she did for Sheridan and she somehow works some magic so they stay in for the whole three hour shoot!
Walking around the waterways, we found some amazing colour in the trees. Shooting at the perfect angle, I got the reflection of the trees and that gorgeous colour in the water.
No senior portrait session would be complete without showing off what made your highschool senior year so special. Bring your class ring, and your letterman jacket, to personalize your session.
Last outfit change of the night, and we snuck away to shoot in this tiny little forested that was tucked away out of sight. I love being able to find special little places full of gorgeous light! The golden hour light on her long hair, with that ethereal skirt and enchanted forest feel, made for the perfect end to this Class of 2015 senior portrait session.
