One thing you should know about me? I’m not like a regular senior portrait photographer, I’m a cool senior portrait photographer. There are no rules in this house! I’m all about breaking the mold, and my goal is to make sure your senior photo session is as unique and unforgettable as YOU are! Helping graduating seniors like you celebrate this monumental milestone is a total dream come true for me! So, if you’re ready to slay your senior session, keep reading for a sneak peek into how we can turn your vision into reality!
1. Choose and Book Your Session Type Early
Senior photo session spots go almosttt as quick as T-Swift tickets, so don’t sleep on booking your session early! Our team can handle the nitty-gritty details together once you’re locked in, but securing your spot is step number one.
At Pink Owl Photography, you’ve got two session options: the Glam Session or the Vogue Session. Both sessions include professional make up and hair styling. After you spend time in the Pink Owl Studio getting picture perfect, our hair & make up stylist tags along to each location, ensuring your look stays fresh! And we’re not stopping at one vibe—get ready for a total glow-up with a new hairstyle midway through your shoot!
2. Pick Your Season Vibe
Are you feeling the warm summer sunshine or leaning into that cozy fall aesthetic? The season you choose totally sets the mood for your photos. Summer shoots mean golden hour perfection (hello, Insta-worthy!), while fall and winter bring cozy sweaters, cute boots, and all the fall vibes. Think about the aesthetic you want, and let’s create some magic from there!
3. Scout Your Dream Locations
Here’s where things get really fun! Your outfit choices will actually depend on the locations we choose—yep, that’s how we roll. Whether you’re into urban vibes, natural landscapes, or quirky spots, we’re down to explore them all. And guess what? With both senior photo sessions, you get unlimited locations. That means more variety, more vibes, and more opportunities to let your personality shine!
Some fun senior photoshoot backdrops we’ve used in the past are a record store, botanical garden, luxury wedding venue, restaurant, farm, candy store, and arcade! We’re always dreaming up fresh new spots to reflect your unique style and celebrate this huge milestone in your life! Let’s make sure your senior photo session screams YOU.
4. Plan Your Outfits & Accessories
Outfit time, besties! This is when your personality really gets to shine. Okay I may have lied about the rules thing earlier. I do have one rule and it's this: wear something that makes you feel like the main character. Comfort is key—if you feel amazing in your clothes, your photos are going to be fire. Trust me on this!
We’ll help you put together several outfit options based on your preferences so you can decide on final wardrobe selections. Whether you’re into streetwear, boho vibes, or something totally out-of-the-box, we’ve got your back.
5. Decide on Hair & Makeup Looks
Now that we’ve got the outfits on lock, it’s time to talk hair and makeup. Whether you’re living for a full glam transformation or you’re all about those effortless beachy waves, our senior photo sessions include a pro stylist to bring your dream look to life. And if you’re undecided, don’t sweat it! (But if you do sweat that’s okay too… after all that’s what setting spray is for). Our makeup artist will switch things up between locations, so you don’t have to settle for just one look.
6. Join the Pinterest Party at Pink Owl Photography
Ready to bring your inspo board to life? Our final planning step is collaborating on Pinterest to pull together all the inspiration you’ve been saving. Outfits, hair, makeup, locations, poses—you name it, we’re pinning it! This senior photo mood board helps us both visualize your perfect senior session and makes sure we’re 100% aligned on your vision. We can reference this board on the day of your photoshoot to help you get inspired!
