First of all- Congratulations to the Class of 2014! Your final year of high school will fly by in a heartbeat. One of your first decisions as a SENIOR is to schedule your Senior Portraits. Guys generally don't get quite as excited about this rite of passage, so we'll give you some tips to make it as painless as possible.

1. Bring anything that will help add character and personality to your senior portraits- sports uniform, letter jacket, musical instrument, pet, car, or even your girlfriend!



                       

2. Bring several shirts that reflect your style. We would suggest that one of the shirts be a nice button down to make Grandma happy:)










3. Get a haircut at least a week in advance to prevent the "glow" around your hairline.













4. If you spend your summer in a baseball cap, you may want to leave it off for a week so your forehead isn't pasty. HOWEVER, the only thing worse than a farmer's tan on your forehead is a red, peeling, blistered nose- so use sunscreen!














5. Check your clothes for wrinkles- they really show up in photos and are a distraction.
















6. Shave the day of your photo session.


7. Don't worry about blemishes. They are an easy fix in Photoshop.










8. Choose your clothes well in advance of your session. If you wait until the day of your session, you won't be happy with the results and it will reflect in your session (and they'll probably be dirty and wrinkled).













9. Get some sleep the night before your portrait session.


















10. Check out Senior Portrait Galleries to get an idea of what you feel reflects YOU. 



Now for the hardest part! Pick up the phone and schedule your session. At Inspirations in Photography, we have packages for every need. We have collections that include plenty of prints, as well as a high resolution cd of your images all the way to our No Frills Session. You can check out the prices and packages on our "Prices Page".

We can't wait to hear from you!  719-649-3541

  1. I made the mistake of getting my hair cut the day before my senior pictures. My hair looked really funny. That is a great tip Sherry. You may have saved some poor kid's senior pictures. http://www.magicglamour.com/gallery/seniors/
