Rory / Bellevue High School Senior Portraits

Rory’s shoot was just awesome! He is very natural in front of the camera and I loved his outfit choices. Outfits can really take your images to the next level! Choosing a good variety of styles, textures and layers and a variety of backdrops helps us to capture a wider range of images. Senior guys sometimes struggle a little bit more with what to wear because they think they have less options. But if you are creative, guys actually have a lot of options! From a variety of cool jackets (think leather, corduroy or dressy), sweaters+collared shirt combos, casual urban outfits, suits etc, guys can really get a lot of variety in one session! Oh and don’t forget guys have lots of cool shoes and boot options to finish off their look with!

Stefan / The Overlake School Senior Portraits Washington

I absolutely loved working with Stefan this January for his senior portraits! We had an awesome time wandering around some of my favorite locations, chatting and shooting three different looks! He told me he was a little skeptical about how good his images could turn out, but when he saw the final product he was very excited! I have at least two more guy blog posts in the works so those of you that wonder whether I shoot senior boys will be happy to see that I do! Sadly more girls tend to get professional images and a lot of the guys tend to do them at home or with a friend. You know how I feel about that!;) Guys need portraits to remember this phase of life too - you only have one chance to get your senior photos right! You can’t go back and re-do them in 10 years!:)
