Senior year is filled with so many lifelong memories…homecoming, college applications, prom, senior trips, football games, senior pranks, and so much more. It is a time that ends one chapter in your life and starts another. This is what your senior photos can capture with a little thought ahead of time. Your photos are all about telling your story. The most important thing I want you to know is that you DO NOT have to be a model. And truth be told I don’t want you to be a model because our goal is to capture YOU. Your senior photos are all about YOU and no one knows you better.

If you are ready to book your senior grad session, you can reach me at kimvanosphotography@gmail.com.

As you think about your upcoming session, write down the answers to the following questions.

1. What your hobbies are, how you spend your free time or where you volunteer.

2. Ask a few friends or family members to describe you in one word.

3. What is your favorite…. article of clothing, color, movie, food, etc.

4. What you want to do after school.

5. Any fancy dresses or outfits that you wore to homecoming or a wedding recently.

6. If you like wearing hats, chunky necklaces, big rings, scarves, fun shoes, etc.

7. Any afterschool activities like sports, academic clubs, etc. If you have a letterman jacket or something specific, you wear when participating in that activity.

As you write out the answers a few things will jump out at you that will help you pick out your outfits.

Here are a few examples to help get your juices flowing:

Buckeye, AZ Sunflower Field

Kendall loves art! But she really loves to paint and when she is not painting, you find her at Michaels buying more canvas or paints. She also loves sunflowers! This love of sunflowers came from her mother. She doesn’t wear any shoe if it’s not comfy and so has a variety of different tennis shoes. She used to play volleyball, but quick years ago and never took up another sport. She likes sleeping in and hanging out with her friends. Her personality is pretty chill. She decides she want’s photos that will incorporate her love of art, and sunflowers as well as her favorite pair of shoes.

Laveen, AZ

Jeneyah went to her uncle’s casual wedding in September and wore a cute striped jump suit that she loves. She is a part of the guitar club at school and her friends nicknamed her sunshine because she is always happy. She has decided she is bringing denim back and has lots of cute denim dresses that she wears. Jeneyah decides to use the cute jump suit from the wedding, a denim dress that work with her cap and gown and a pair of black dress pants and top for a more sophisticated look. She plans to bring her guitar to the shoot. She loves the park down the street from her house and it holds lots of childhood memories there for her.

Litchfield Park, AZ

Bailey doesn’t really participate in any afterschool activities, but she loves jeans and big bows. She loves nature and being up north at her family’s cabin. She loves the simple things in life like her family and her dog. But what truly defines her is the big bows she wears. Bailey brings along ripped jeans with a leopard print shirt and a matching bow. She also brings her favorite jacket and a red shirt to wear underneath with one of her big red bows. For her last outfit she chooses a long black sleeved shirt and keeps her signature red bow.
