Oh my gosh, you made it! You’re coming up on your senior year at Lourdes Academy in Oshkosh and there’s so much to celebrate. And the best way to save these moments is with your own senior photography session. Your senior photos are about capturing images that celebrate you and all of your achievements in life so far. They’re about showing the world who you are as you get ready to start your next chapter. To help you with all the planning, I’ve created a guide to help you plan the perfect senior session!
First thing you need to do is find the right photographer for your senior session. There are three things you should do before hiring someone to make sure they’re the right person for the job. To start your search you’re going to want to figure out what kind of senior photos you want. Think about locations, styling and what kind of vibe you’re wanting from your session. After you know that, then you can look for photographers online and find someone who matches what you’re wanting. Every photographer has a different style so look at colors, shadows, skin tones, etc and be sure you like how their images look. Once you find some senior photographer options, then I would look at their website and read their about page. Make sure that you like their personality and get a sense of who they are. You’re going to be working closely with this person and you want to make sure it’s enjoyable.
Once you have your photographer picked out and booked, now it’s the fun part! Now you get to start the planning and this is honestly my favorite part of the process. We get to share ideas and talk about your dream session. Two of the biggest things that will impact your session are location and outfits. It’s important to go over these details and choose the right options. Your location is your setting of your session and it will be in every image. Your outfits will also be in all of your images too and they really set the tone of your photos. So don’t take these details lightly. But I don’t want you to stress over them either. I know tons of gorgeous locations near Lourdes Academy in Oshkosh that will be so dreamy for your session. And I give all of my seniors a style guide and will help you find the perfect outfits.
So as we start planning, it’s important to also think about ways to personalize your senior session. After all, your senior session is all about you. So think about all the things that are important to you. You can include your favorite hobbies and sports into your session. And I’ve even had Lourdes Academy Oshkosh seniors include pets too! There are a million options, but it comes down to what you love most. And don’t worry about how you’re going to use these things in your session because I always have a ton of ideas and I love finding creative ways to include my seniors’ favorite things into their session.
I’ve been an Oshkosh senior photographer for over 13 years and so I totally understand that it’s a lot to plan. But I want to make sure that this is as easy as possible for you because your senior session should be fun! So make a to-do list of everything you need to get done prior to your session including steaming your outfits, cutting tags off of clothes, a makeup bag for touch ups, bug spray and setting an appointment for your manicure and hair refresh. The little details matter and as long as you plan ahead of time, things should go pretty smooth. Don’t forget to pack all your things for your session a day or two before the big day as well. That way the day of your session you can focus on getting ready and enjoying the experience!
I would love to be considered as your photographer for your dream senior photo session! I know that these photos and memories are so incredibly important and I absolutely love what I do. I’m super passionate about creating the most amazing experience for my clients and helping them throughout the entire process. Together we’ll create gorgeous Lourdes Academy Oshkosh senior photos.
