12 FUN SENIOR PHOTO SHOOT LOCATION IDEAS

If you're in the process of planning your senior photo session, you're probably looking for a few theme and location ideas. Below are a few fun ideas to give you some inspiration:

HEAD TO THE CITY.

If you're really looking to find some interesting shoot locations, why not head to a completely different city to shoot your senior portraits? You never know what you will find once you start exploring.

ENJOY AN AMUSEMENT PARK.

Using fair or carnival as a location doesn't mean you need to use rides as a backdrop, instead, incorporate the bright colors and bold patterns into your shots.

ENJOY A MILKSHAKE AT A FAVOR SHAKE SHOP.

Think jeans, white-t shirts, milkshakes and bright fun colors. How about a classic 50's diner? That will leave you with some truly memorable senior portraits.

FIND A BOTANICAL GARDEN OR PARK.

If you would   prefer a beautiful backdrop of trees, flowers, and wide-open spaces use one of the local parks or the botanical gardens in University Circle as a location for your shoot.

TAKE A TRIP ON A BOAT.

If you are lucky enough to own or have a friend with a boat at the lake, why not use the water and a boat as the backdrop for your senior portraits?

A NEED FOR SPEED.

If speed is more your thing, you could incorporate a muscle car or racy motorbike into your senior session.

HEAD DOWNTOWN. Take advantage of the graffiti, bridges and unique doorways in the city for an urban theme.

FIND AN OPEN FIELD

Trees, tall grasses and beautiful skies are abundant in our area. Open fields make for some amazing backdrops.

FIND A LAUNDROMAT.

Want a more retro look and feel? Head to a laundromat for some fun senior shots.

CURL UP WITH A BOOK.

If you simply love the library or your local bookstore, why not use it as a location for your senior portraits?

HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE.

Coffee shops and cafes are great for senior portraits as they offer soft lighting and an interesting setting.

USE YOUR SCHOOL CAMPUS.

Incorporate your school sign or logo in the background. If you are an athlete, fields and courts can be perfect for a senior photo session. Even a school bus can make a great prop!


 

WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOUR SENIOR SESSION?

Choose a Professional.jpg

THIS is your senior year, which is a very special time in your life. And while you could probably get a friend or family member to take some photos of you, they simply won't be able to produce what a professional
photographer can.

When you work with a professional photographer, you get to benefit from their years of experience, which includes knowing how to work with natural and studio lighting, where to find the best locations for your shoot, and how to compose a great shot. Not to mention the fact that they're skilled editors and know exactly how to make you look incredible in every photo.

A professional will also know how to bring your unique style and personality through in each and every image and will be there to guide you on how to pose and smile in order to get the best photos.

A professional photographer is the best person to guide you during the photo selection process too, helping you choose the best shots for printing and your album. Since most photographers have been shooting and printing images for years, they know exactly which paper, canvas sizes and printers to use to get the job done right, giving you beautiful photos that you can display in your home, in an album or on social media.

You only get to be a senior once so don't miss the chance to capture some great photos of yourself by using a friend or family member instead of a professional for your senior shoot.
