What Are Senior Portraits? | Saratoga NY Photographers

Senior Portraits Mean Different Things to Different People

What Are Senior Portraits
High School Senior year is all about looking toward the future.

Most people would agree that if a High School produces a Yearbook, the minimum for Senior Portraits would be the one photo in the Yearbook with the corresponding student’s name.  We might all agree that particular photo would be a headshot/head and shoulders photo.  But other than that:

Senior Portraits:  What Is The Big Deal?

Senior Year is a time when students are becoming more independent.

Senior Year is a Milestone.  Kids become young adults.  Often they are transitioning away from home by either going to college or getting a full time job.  Senior Portraits document that transition.

Senior Portraits Are A Form Of Self Expression

Angie is a music student–Love that she felt so comfortable performing in front of the camera!

As students become more confident in who they are, they often become more comfortable documenting that in front of a camera.  We encourage our clients to choose locations and clothing options to reflect who they are and their interests.

Capture A Fleeting Moment In Time

Senior Portraits can help you remember how you felt at this exciting time in life.  It is also a nice way for parents to have a keepsake of this time as well.  After all, as the student transitions to more independence, parents are coping with Empty Nest Syndrome.
