Spell it out
Scrabble is definitely an old school game, but the tiles are a fun way to spell out your name, the name of your high school or even what college you plan to attend. So, break out that board game!
Write in chalk
Want a more colorful way to reveal your future plans? Write out your message in chalk and pose next to it!
Hold up a sign
Whether it’s a favorite quote, your graduation year or just your name, there are tons of ways to express yourself with a sign board. A letter board allows you to write any message you want, creating a custom sign for your session.
Your favorite school spots
Did you have a particular seat during football games? A special study spot? Why not incorporate these special memories into your senior portraits?
On the sports field (or court)
If you play a sport in high school, a great way to recognize your athletic career is to take photos on the field or in the gym where you practiced and played. Bonus points if you include your sports equipment or jersey.
Show off your class ring
Your class ring is unique to you, capturing not just your birthstone but also your accomplishments and passions in high school. Capture a close-up of your ring as a reminder of what your high school experience was like.
Your go-to hangout
If you have a favorite restaurant or place to spend your free time, why not take some photos there? After all, this place is special to you and likely something you will want to remember for years to come.
Dress up for prom
You don’t want to wear that prom dress just once! Show off your prom look again and take some formal photos during your senior portrait session.
Put on the cap and gown
Your parents will love having photos of your in your cap and gown, and the ones taken at the actual graduation ceremony likely won’t be top-notch. Get some professional photos of you in your full commencement gear!
Library or bookstore
If you’re especially focused on academics, surrounding yourself with books makes for fun photos! Your local library or a bookstore can be a great place to capture this aspect of your personality.
Bring along your pet
This requires some advance planning, but including your pet in your senior portraits is not only a fun way to commemorate your love for your four-legged friend. It can also help you feel more relaxed and at ease.
