Taking And Selecting Quality Senior Pictures

By Stacey Burt


You have a child who is getting ready to graduate from high school. The one task that still must be completed before her graduation is having her senior pictures taken and there are many professionals in Green Bay WI that would love to take over this task for you. Every photographer will have his own style and technique so choose the professional who will take the type of photographs you have envisioned for your child.

Ask your child to select several outfits for the shoot and assist her if she needs help in choosing the most flattering styles. Select both casual and formal wear for the portfolio. Don't forget matching shoes if full-length shots are to be taken. Accent pieces such as hair items and assorted jewelry can all be included. She may want to have her hair styled so the more formal shooting can take place first and then she can relax the style and allow it to go back to its natural state for the casual photos.

You can even add props for more pizazz. Choose the articles and background items that reflect her interests. Ask her to select and bring items that symbolize the activities she is in at school. If she is sports-minded, a basketball, tennis racket or golf club will work perfectly. A cheerleader can dress in her cheer outfit and bring along her pom-poms and megaphone.

Bring along an individual who can assist with makeup. This will help hide flaws and bring out the very best features of your teenager. She will feel much more attractive and confident and the final proofs will show it.

You want the photos to be as natural as possible so it is important to convey this to the photographer. Give this professional some background as to your daughter's personality and interests so he will have a good idea of what photos will highlight her in the most positive manner. Ask him to take a few black and white and sepia photos for special effect.

The most important aspect of taking these photos is that they reflect the true personality and interests of the student. This will give the family an authentic record of her high school years.

Also ask the photographer to take some unexpected shots so he can catch your teen when she is unaware that she is being photographed. Some truly authentic and telling photos will show the authentic side of your child when this is done.

Be sure to give some local color to the photos the professional takes. This state is famous for its natural beauty and white winters so it is important to incorporate some of this scenery into the photos if possible. This will depend on the time of year that the pictures are taken. School colors can also be used for the backgrounds of formal photographs.

The last year of high school is so very important and this is why taking these photos is so appropriate. Be sure the photographer takes great care in taking the photos to produce a record of your teen's history that can be viewed for many years to come.
