Relax during your senior session

It is normal to feel nervous and unconfident before the cameras. I promise you will do better if you breathe deeply before the session and relax. Expect it to be fast-paced and fun. The worse thing you can do is look tense in front of the camera, so just remember to practice anything that will help relieve tension. I promise I will do my best to help you with this.

Practice those natural expressions

Your eyes are an important part of the photo, as they express emotion. Use your smile to light up your face and make your eyes look alive. Practice smiling in front of the mirror before your senior photo session and explore some different facial expressions. The last thing you want to do is have a forced-looking smile.

Breathe naturally

Breathing is important to capture the most natural look possible. Practice deep breathing in front of the mirror while you are smiling. Release the air in your lungs slowly while holding the smile. You will see your face and eyes settle into a natural and relaxed expression.

Move your body

Move around during your photo shoot. It will give you more looks and create fresh looks. Try leaning into the camera as it will help you look more engaged. Shift your weight front one leg to the other. I will help you by offering suggestions on ways you can move to achieve some great looks.

Prepare  your look for your senior session

Everyone needs to look their best before the camera. Senior girls should spend some extra time on their hair and makeup. Boys can primp as well to make sure they are clean-shaven and their hair looks its best. Wear an outfit that helps you feel confident and makes you look your best.

Taking these steps will lead you toward a great senior photo session.
