Taking And Selecting Quality Senior Pictures

By Stacey Burt


Your child is in her last year of high school. There is so much that needs to be done and one of the main tasks that still needs to be done is to have her senior pictures taken by a Green Bay WI photographer. These local professionals can produce photographs that depict the style and personality of your teen.

Have your child choose several different outfits for the shoot. She will want to have both casual and formal photos for her graduating portfolio. Include casual wear, formal and semi formal clothing in the outfits to be worn. If full-length photos are to be taken, shoes are important also. Don't forget accent pieces such as hair accessories and jewelry. You may wish to have her hair done for the more formal shots first and then allow it to go back to its natural state for the less casual photos.

You can even add props for more pizazz. Choose the articles and background items that reflect her interests. Ask her to select and bring items that symbolize the activities she is in at school. If she is sports-minded, a basketball, tennis racket or golf club will work perfectly. A cheerleader can dress in her cheer outfit and bring along her pom-poms and megaphone.

If you have a friend or acquaintance who can do wonders with makeup, by all means bring her along. Appropriate makeup will assist in hiding flaws and will bring out the best features of the student. She will feel more confident and attractive and this will show in the final proofs.

You want the photos to be as natural as possible so it is important to convey this to the photographer. Give this professional some background as to your daughter's personality and interests so he will have a good idea of what photos will highlight her in the most positive manner. Ask him to take a few black and white and sepia photos for special effect.

Explain to this professional how you wish to have photos that show the student's real interests and true personality. You are seeking a true and very accurate record of her last year in high school.

Also ask the photographer to take some unexpected shots so he can catch your teen when she is unaware that she is being photographed. Some truly authentic and telling photos will show the authentic side of your child when this is done.

If you have friends and relatives from out of town, choose a pose that reflects where you live. The green background of this state during the summer months or the snowy landscape during the winter will make an excellent backdrop for the photographs. School colors can also be featured for backgrounds in formal photos.

It is so important that these photos be original and perfect for your teen's last year of school. Take special care and time in selecting the professional that will give your child's photos due justice and care. You will then get the outcome you desire and photographs that will be viewed and displayed for many years to come.
