Glowing Golden Field – The Woodlands Outdoor Senior Photographer

Overcast days are beautiful for taking pictures around urban centers, to avoid shining spotlights on mirrors and glass, and to let us shoot your senior portraits out in the open without worrying about hot sunspots. However, if you want that golden glow of a field, you can’t beat a sunny fall or spring evening, when the sun is low on the horizon creating a hazy golden blanket of light across the field. If this is the look for you, we’ll pick the perfect spot to catch the golden hour light filtering through the trees, and you’ll glow like the golden girl you are!

Top 5 Tips To Rock Your Senior Session – The Woodlands Outdoor Senior Photographer

You’ll get all sort of advice on how to make the most of your senior session, and the internet is full of tips, advice columns, Pinterest boards, and “how to’s” with fashion advice and posing tips. The most important thing though, is to have a photographer that you trust to make you look your best, and who will pose you in fun and flattering ways! We’ll meet before our session to go over the session details and get to know each other, so we walk into the shoot with the perfect game plan! There are a few tips, though, to make the whole experience a lot more fun and successful, so dig in to some *real life* tips that you can use and we’ll practice during your session.

ADD COLOUR TO YOUR WARDROBE
The airy white dress is always a senior favourite, and a long black maxi dress is cool and trendy. However, make sure that at least one or two of your (unlimited!) outfit changes are bright and colourful, to add some glam to your senior portraits. Jewel tones translate beautifully on camera, and add visual interest to your pictures.

LET THE MUA DO HER WORK
All my full senior sessions come with an appointment for pro make up application. You can work with the MUA to get the best style for you, and even apply some of it yourself, but the MUA we work with know exactly how to contour and highlight for how the camera “sees” tones and dimensions. You’ll look flawless for closeups, trust! I’ll take care of blemishes in editing, don’t be tempted to go heavy on concealer just to hide flaws.

ADD PERSONAL ITEMS
Along with close up portraits, and emotive shots, we want to mix it up with some more visually interesting pictures of you just as you are. Having a few props along really change the look of the portraits. Imagine yourself on a rooftop playing your violin. Idling in field with your favourite book. Posed with your skateboard in the middle of a busy sidewalk. These props add colour and personalize your gallery.

HAVE A HELPER
You’ll have a lot going on the day of the shoot. Bring someone to help you! Mom, sister, or a favourite aunt can help with wardrobe changes, carry accessories, and keep flyaways tamed. That will free you up to be stress fee and fabulous!

BE INSPIRED, BUT BE YOU
There are some great resources for finding cool senior portrait ideas, like Pinterest and Instagram, but don’t get lost trying to recreate a look that you find inspiring. Incorporate what you love about a certain look, or pose, but in the end these pictures are about YOU.  If you love vintage dresses, wear one and don’t worry about current trends! Embrace your dork, your quirks, your sweet nature, your sass – it’s all about you, baby.

Which Season to Take Senior Portraits? – The Woodlands Senior Outdoor Photographer

Your senior portraits should represent you and your own personal style, and one of the big considerations is when and where to take your senior pictures. What do you picture for your senior portraits? An airy summer sundress in a pretty green park? A cuddly warm sweater and boots, on an urban street? When we meet for your in person consult before the session, we’ll talk about all these details, and find the perfect date, location, and wardrobe for your senior portraits, that will compliment your own personal style!

SUMMER PORTRAITS
Do you love summer clothes, and the sultry heat? Summer here in Texas is HOT but September is a great month for senior pictures if you want to have the last glimpses of the glow of summer in your portraits. The light is heavier and more golden late in the day, making for mellow orange and yellow light. Choose an early or late summer session if you want to capture that summer glow, with the last of the summer flowers.

FALL PORTRAITS
One of the most popular seasons for the wonderful cooler weather, autumnal portraits are unique because of the pretty fall foliage and colourful trees. We have a very short fall season, and these dates are in demand, so it’s best to book this season early!

WINTER PORTRAITS
It’s not a season seniors usually think of for their portraits, but winter has a magic all it’s own. With the colder weather, you’ll be able to wear those snuggly sweaters and scarves that would make you swelter in other seasons. Plus, the tones of winter are beautiful – greys, maroons, pine green, and deep blue are gorgeous to photograph and the air is light and silvery, with gorgeous sunsets and rustic shades of burnt sienna and wheat.

SPRING PORTRAITS
The most popular season of all, for good reason! The weather is warm, the flowers are in bloom, the light has a pretty light golden glow, and you can finally pull out those pretty sundresses, rompers, and off the shoulder shirts that have been shoved in the closet all winter. This is the most sought after season, so you’ll have to book as early as you can if you want senior portraits in the flowers!

Why Are Senior Portraits Important? The Woodlands Senior Photographer

The life of a high school senior is a very, very busy life! It’s almost hard to imagine you’d want to add another item on your to-do list agenda, after Homecoming, applying to and visiting schools, sorting out scholarships and grants, dreaming about Prom, and getting those grad invitations sent out. However, there is one thing that’s been on a senior’s mind going into the year — those gorgeous senior picture photoshoots! If they’re not on your mind, here is a few reasons why maybe they should be!

The End of an Era
Senior portraits are like time capsules. You put into them everything you want to remember from a certain time period in your life, forever preserved, to enjoy in the future. High school is a unique time in your life, and after you graduate you enter the greater world of college and work life. So go all out for your senior pictures! Get glammed up, be young and carefree! Giggle and wear an outrageous prom dress or beautiful outfit while twirling in a field! Your time is now!

Celebrate Your Talents
You have a lot of hobbies and talents, and when will you ever have the chance again to celebrate that with pictures? Grab this chance, you’ll probably never book a photoshoot just to show that you can play violin or go on pointe.

Advertise Yourself for Sorority Rush
Your head is still in high school, but very soon you’ll be touring college campuses and you might have your sights set on joining a sorority. They’ll want to see portraits of you, and having some amazing portraits to send along with your app will go a LONG way to WOWing them. I offer Sorority Minis, check it out here.

Put a Face to the Invites
You’re probably going to send out grad invites anyway, add something a little extra and slip in a wallet sized photo of you as a keepsake to those you love! You can even have grad cards specially made, on card stock, featuring several of your fave senior pictures. Check out this link to see the options I offer in your Collections.

Give Your Friends Something to Remember You By
While it would be amazing if we could all go to college with our besties, and share our next stage in life together, odds are that you are your BFFs are headed to different cities, maybe even different states. Your senior pictures make special and sentimental keepsakes for your friends to have either in print or digitally, so whenever you miss each other, you can look back on each other’s photos with love.

Country Charm – The Woodlands Outdoor Senior Photographer

Everyone has a different personal style, and when it comes to your senior portraits you want them to represent you as you are! So when we discuss your senior pictures when we meet for the in person consult, one of the biggest considerations, after wardrobe and hair and make up styling, is *where* to take your amazing senior portraits! If you want  to infuse your senior pictures with light and colour, without the ultra modern elements of glass and steel, a cute little country town full of charm and natural elements is the perfect choice! Lots of colour, lots of buildings to shoot around that include gazebos and greenery, you’ll be sitting pretty on a covered porch surrounded by bright colour to match your sunny style!
