If you are a high school senior, chances are you are getting ready to take your senior portraits.
Senior portraits have a long time standing as being a right of passage, a milestone that will forever stand as a visual representation of this monumental transition in your life.
Sounds a little intimidating doesn’t it?
That’s okay. If reading that made your skin crawl in both nerves and anticipation you are not alone. Of the hundreds of thousands of seniors that will graduate in the United States this year, many of them will feel daunted by all of the options available.
From style, to theme, to personality and more – the ideas for your senior pics are endless.
If you find yourself at a loss, here are some wonderful ideas that will get the ideas flowing and help you to nail your senior pics.

Share Your Accomplishments

“You’ll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never. ” -Woody Hayes . . . I had a blast shooting with @t_walk1006 this week. We walked around Carroll High school and nailed some fun and unique images.
