One of the biggest decisions you’ll make while planning your senior photo session, is picking a location. There’s an overwhelming amount of options and it can feel stressful not knowing which spot will work best for your Appleton West High School senior photos. I’ve been a senior photographer in the Appleton area for over 10 years and I love helping my clients choose locations that excite them! So I’ve created this guide to help you choose the right location for your session and give you some incredible options!
Guide to Choosing The Perfect Location for Your Senior Session
Take Your Senior Session Outfits into Consideration
One of the easiest ways to help you decide what location would be best for your senior session is thinking about the outfits you’d like to wear. For instance if you want to wear something that is more modern, sleek and fashion forward then your outfits would be better suited in a downtown vibe. However if you love the whimsical floral dress vibe, then your outfit would be better suited for a field. Think about colors, styling, footwear, and accessories when deciding which location would work best with the outfits you’re planning to wear for your Appleton West High School senior photos.
Include a Meaningful Location for Your Senior Session
Another option to consider is choosing a meaningful location for your senior session. Does your family own a gorgeous home in Door County? Do your grandparents have a beautiful property that you have wonderful memories of while growing up? Or do you really love going to the beach with your friends each summer? About places that you really love and enjoy spending time at. These may also be really good options to use for your senior photo session.
Great Location Options Close to Appleton West High School
If you’re not wanting to travel far, there are some excellent location ideas near Appleton West High school! Tellulah Park is a great location along the Fox River that has beautiful trails and nature spots. Pierce Park is another beautiful option for your senior session! It’s located on top of the bluff above Lutz Park and has great views of the Fox River! This park also has a large pavilion on site, which makes for a fun urban vibe. And if you love flowers then you’ll definitely want to check out Scheig Center and Gardens! The pathways, arbors, and gardens give some beautiful options for your senior photos!
Other Location Ideas You Might Love
If you want even more fun and creative ideas for your senior session location, I would consider your favorite hobbies, sports and interests! For instance if you love sports you could do your session at Neuroscience Field or Lambeau Field! Or if you really love bowling, we could go to the Super Bowl for some creative photos. Other great ideas include Badger Sports Park for gamers, Chaska Golf Course for golfers or Eroding Winds Record Shop for vinyl collectors.
Want a Location That’s Even More Unique?
Are you a bit more adventurous and want something different? I’m known for my one of a kind locations, especially my wildflower fields! As a senior photographer, I know and understand that you want your photos to be different from other students at Appleton West High School. You don’t want your photos to look like everyone else’s. So I’ve spent years discovering locations to offer my senior clients that are outside of the norm. I really love being able to offer gorgeous nature locations that most people don’t even know exist! It’s just one of the many ways I’m different from other senior photographers in the area.
