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

old-town-spring-senior-pictures

 

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.

Senior and Yearbook Portraits – The Woodlands Senior Photographer

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.  See more information about Sessions for Senior Boys in the Woodlands, Conroe, and Spring TX by clicking here.

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!

The Popular Photo Cover Album for Senior Collections

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.

Thick full colour pages, full vivid colour images, and a heavy sturdy leather spine make this photobook the premium choice.

Natural Senior Pictures Outdoors in Spring, Texas

This set is the second half of this lovely senior’s photoshoot, after we moved from town to the country! She had the *perfect* day for senior pictures. Not cold, not hot, beautiful cloud cover with a touch of golden sun, and a light breeze — amazing day! This field was the right location for a more natural and laid back set to add to the classic set at the Waterway. Dressed down, wearing organic and natural shades of blue and green and brown, she looks amazing and right at home in the flowers and field!

Such gorgeous hazy warm light on that amazing long hair!

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.

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.

Au Naturale Boho Senior Session in Spring, Texas

This amazingly stylish senior had a clear vision for part of her senior session — this bohemian styled theme session, complete with white dress, flowers and bare feet. With her long gorgeous hair, and pretty posing, we ended up with a breathtaking set of boho senior pictures along with her regular set of senior portraits from the first half of her session. The Woodlands, Spring and Conroe area is fantastic for styling a boho type senior photography session, since we have plenty of fields, flowers and trees for earthy environmental portraits. If you want to add a specific theme to YOUR senior session, we can have fun planning it at your pre consultation before the session. With the Luxe Senior Session, you get professional hair and make up in whatever style you choose, perfectly tailored to how you want your senior session to look!

We had a perfect day for this boho senior session, and everything came together beautifully. I love the added touch of this leather braided headpiece, to complete the look.

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.

Fun and Quirky Seniors in the Woodlands – Senior Photographer

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.

Pretty and Natural Senior Portraits – The Woodlands and Spring TX

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!

 

the-woodlands-outdoor-senior-pictures

the-woodlands-senior-photographer

 

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.

 

pretty-senior-pictures-spring-tx

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!

This senior had the first part of her session in trendy clothes and an outfit to homage her acceptance to Baylor U!  For the second portion of her senior photoshoot,  we took it out to the country fields for a more natural look and some beautiful boho styling.

A floral crown and a lacy white dress is such a gorgeous way to style your session, for a down to earth boho shoot that won’t look dated years from now. It’s fresh and light, and so lovely against the backdrop of spring greenery and a country road. Timeless, but a modern twist!

Cowboy boots are *always* stylin’ for a Texas senior session! This pretty little blue dress is sweet and chic, and the colour photographs beautifully.

Classic and Timeless Senior Pictures in the Woodlands, Texas

What I love about meeting each graduating class of high school seniors for their senior pictures is how unique they all are and how they bring that to their senior portraits. Fun and quirky, classic and traditional, carefree and smiley, each senior has their individual personality that just shines through and makes their photos different.  For each high school senior, I take into account their personal style and carefully pose each senior in a way that reflects that.  This Woodlands High senior was all class and grace, with such a sunny and smiley personality that her photos can’t help but show her sense of humour and beauty!

Beauty and brains, this gracefully tall gal is off to study Pre Med at Johns Hopkins this year. Check out the first half of her senior session, before we headed out to a field for some nature shots!

Plenty of unguarded moments of pure laughter with this laid back girl! I just adore the little crinkles in her nose, so glad I caught that moment with just the right timing!

Fresh and Natural Senior Photography – Spring, Texas

This gorgeous senior from The Woodlands brought so many beautiful outfits and ideas for her senior pictures, we had a lot of fun running around this pretty location to fit them all in! One of this year’s hottest trends is the romper, and this senior showed her style with her wardrobe choices! With the Luxe Senior Session, you get treated to professional hair styling and make up application, so this senior was picture-perfect and ready to shoot!

I like to mix casual poses with serious, since they make for a great variety of both colour and black and white shots. This senior rocked both, with her beautiful smile and serious looks. And she brought this lovely bouquet of flowers as a pretty prop.

For a stylistic change, we shot a few against this cool brick wall, in editorial magazine style. Gorgeous!

Time for an outfit change, and we moved to this pretty gazebo surrounded by greenery. I love how her flowy spring romper matches the light and airy atmosphere of the white gazebo.

One more change in backdrop, as we moved around this pretty location. I am always looking for natural elements, leading lines and framing when I’m shooting senior portraits, to add interest and variety to your senior session. I particularly like how the wooden gate here matches her au naturale style and the neutral shades of her outfit.

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.
