Capturing Memories: A Guide to Senior Photo Sessions with Elisabeth Ashliegh Photography

As the Class of 2024 is graduating and embarking on new adventures, the Class of 2025 is gearing up for their senior year—a time filled with excitement, anticipation, and of course, senior photos.

At Elisabeth Ashliegh Photography, I understand the importance of capturing this momentous occasion, which is why I'm here to guide you through the process of planning and preparing for your senior photo session.

Timing Is Key
When it comes to planning your senior photos, timing is everything. While it may seem like you have plenty of time before graduation, it's important to start thinking about your photo session early on. Scheduling your session several months in advance ensures that you have ample time to prepare and allows for flexibility in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

For most students, the ideal time to schedule senior photos is during the summer or early fall before your senior year begins. Not only does this give you the opportunity to capture the essence of summer and the beauty of fall foliage, but it also ensures that you have your photos ready in time for graduation announcements and yearbook submissions.

Preparing for Your Session
Preparing for your senior photo session is just as important as scheduling it. Here are some tips to help you get ready for your time in front of the camera:

1. Choose the Right Outfits: Selecting the perfect outfits can make all the difference in your photos. Opt for clothing that reflects your personal style and makes you feel confident and comfortable. Consider bringing a variety of outfits to showcase different looks and styles.
2. Grooming and Hair: Make sure to schedule any grooming appointments, such as haircuts or trims, a week or two before your photo session. Avoid trying out new hairstyles or treatments right before your session to prevent any potential mishaps.
3. Accessorize: Don't forget to accessorize! Whether it's statement jewelry, hats, scarves, or props that reflect your interests and hobbies, accessories can add personality and flair to your photos.
4. Location Scouting: Work with your photographer to choose the perfect location for your photo session. Whether you prefer a natural outdoor setting, an urban cityscape, or a studio backdrop, the location sets the tone for your photos and should complement your personality and style.
5. Practice Posing: Take some time to practice posing in front of a mirror before your photo session. Experiment with different poses and expressions to find what feels natural and comfortable for you. Trust your photographer to guide you through the process and capture your best angles.
