Senior Portraits Saratoga | It’s All About Location

It has been said that Location is Everything.

The right location has a huge impact on the success of any Senior Portrait Session.  The Saratoga area is a fantastic place to have your High School Senior Portraits created.  We have so many really outstanding locations.  We have both town locations and beautiful countryside locations.

Senior Portrait Location Opportunities In The Saratoga area.

Saratoga Senior Portrait Locations
What is your vibe? That is the very first thing you should be thinking about when planning your Senior Portraits.

The Saratoga NY area has almost an embarassment of riches regarding Senior Portrait location opportunities.  Whether you are looking for pastoral countryside or a more architectural and urban vibe, we have no trouble find a great location for each client.  The first step is a quick consultation, which we usually do over the phone.  We will talk about what your goals are and how you dream of being photographed.  I have found this step to be the most important part of any Senior Photo Session.

Senior Portrait Locations:  What Is Your Vibe?

After you figure out how you want to be photographed, it is simply a matter of deciding on which clothing options to bring.  I always recommend several different outfits and starting with something perhaps that is clean and timeless.  This ensures you don’t have a photo that is easily dated.  After that, we can play around with more fun or trendy items.  We do want to be sure the locations work well with the looks.

Senior Portraits–Town or Country?  Why Not Both?

Because we allow a generous amount of time in all of our Senior Portrait Sessions, we are able to travel to more than one location.  This lends variety to the sessions and ensures you receive a truly unique experience.

Senior Portraits Saratoga
To me, this is a quintessential Saratoga Senior Portrait because it is outdoors in a field and Morgan is wearing an Equestrienne outfit.

You will never guess this location, but there are plenty of opportunities like this around town.

The Casino in Congress Park is always an interesting space. It looks different depending on what time of day it is.
Saratoga Springs Senior Portraits 05
This is actually in a gravel parking lot, with an outfit change:)

We also have lakes around if you want a more nautical look. It was like hitting the lottery that Alba’s Vans exactly matched the dock.

We can’t forget the boys! We photographed Aiden in the State Park. The architecture is very classic and masculine.

A golf course can be nice as well. There are several really great courses in our area.

This was just a really cool location on Long Island that I though I would just throw in.
