Senior year is such an exciting milestone — and your photo session should feel just as fun and meaningful! I love photographing senior sessions here in Windsor and across Northern Colorado, capturing each senior’s unique personality and story. Whether you’re more laid-back, athletic, or adventurous, your photos should feel authentically you. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your session.
Bring Two Outfits
I always recommend bringing two looks — one that’s a little dressier and one that’s more casual and comfortable.
Dressy Look (Business Casual):Go for something that feels put-together but still you — think a button-down shirt with nice jeans or chinos. Solid colors or subtle patterns photograph beautifully (navy, gray, olive, and earthy tones are always great choices). You can layer with a jacket or sweater to add variety and texture.
Casual Look:This one’s all about your personality. Bring your favorite hoodie, flannel, or t-shirt — whatever you feel best in! If you have a letter jacket or team jersey, definitely bring that along. It’s such a great way to show off what’s been a big part of your high school years.
Choose a Location That Fits You
The location sets the tone for your photos, so think about what feels most like you:
Downtown areas with brick walls, murals, or old stairways for a cool, urban feel
Open fields, lakes, or trails for a natural, relaxed vibe
Sports fields or your school if you want to include your athletic side
If you’re not sure where to go, I can help! I have several favorite spots around Windsor and Northern Colorado that photograph beautifully in every season.
Bring Meaningful Props
Props make your session personal and tell your story in a way words can’t. A few ideas:
Your letter jacket, sports gear, or instrument
A book, skateboard, truck, or camera
Even your dog (yes, please!)
Anything that reflects your interests or what you love to do is fair game. Just make sure everything is clean and ready to go before your session.
Relax and Have Fun
You don’t need to be a model — you just need to be you. My goal is to make your session relaxed and fun so we capture natural, genuine smiles and real moments. Bring your best attitude, and we’ll create photos that show off who you are right now — and who you’re becoming.
