Not Your Typical Senior Portrait Session

Don’t settle for an ordinary Senior Portrait Session when you are extraordinary.

What does your “typical” Senior Portrait Session look like?  Not your typical Senior Portrait Session is my answer.

While a small portion of the Session might involve a more traditional image to please the Yearbook Gods, most of the Session is us just playing and capturing the individual.  My goal for all my Sessions is to push myself to create images that are unique to each student.  I never want to produce cookie cutter Senior Portraits or rely on an imaginary Posing Guide.  We can make magic together.

Below is the album layout for Sophia’s Senior Album.  I think you can see what I mean when you look through the pages.  While we did a brief series of traditional “drape” photos, the remainder of the session was tailored to Sophia, her style and her personality.

Traditional Senior Portraits
The opening page of Sophia’s Senior Album is a “traditional drape” photo for the Yearbook.
Senior Portrait Session Ballston Spa
My property has some great spots that I like to use for a Senior Portrait Session.
Location Senior Portrait Session in Upstate NY
We went on location and used a Nature Preserve and old buildings.
Rustic Senior Portraits Saratoga NY
Scouting locations is very important because I do not want to shoot the same thing with every client.
Mechanicville Senior Portraits
I tend to let the client’s personality lead me to how to pose them. I want them to look like themselves and feel natural.
Upstate NY Fall Outdoor Senior Portrait Sessions
This dress has a story, as do the boots. Of course we used them for Senior Portraits.
Mechanicville Senior Portraits
We are able to capture a variety of images when we prepare clients ahead of time to bring several different outfits.

The image on this last page would also make a great wall portrait.

A final word–I want to take my clients out for a Senior Portrait Experience that will highlight who they are.  I don’t want to run through the same old Senior Portrait Poses in the same old locations everyone with a camera uses (think hugging a tree, etc.).

I want to capture a range of moods and expressions.  I want to capture YOU.  We will take a ton of photos.  There may be a few that are discards.  But there will also be a ton that you love.  If that sounds good to you, let’s make an appointment.  You can use the Contact Form or call the Studio directly at (518) 584-4237 today.
