a Great senior portrait session in Monterey
Senior Portrait Photography
As graduation approaches, seniors often engage in a special photography session known as “senior session” to capture this significant milestone in their lives. This article will delve into the importance of senior sessions and what to expect during one.
The Significance of Senior Sessions
For many students, senior sessions mark the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. It’s a time to reflect on their journey, accomplishments, and the memories made throughout their high school years. Senior sessions are not just about taking pictures; they are a celebration of the student’s individuality, personality, and unique style.
Preparing for Your Senior Session
Before the photo shoot, there are several things to consider to ensure that you get the most out of your senior session. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
Choosing the Right Outfit
Select outfits that you feel comfortable and confident in. Try to avoid clothes that are too tight, too loose, or too busy. Neutral or solid colors are ideal, but don’t be afraid to add a pop of color or texture.
Hair and Makeup
Plan your hair and makeup in advance. If you’re doing it yourself, keep it simple and natural. Consider hiring a professional if you’re not confident in your abilities.
Location and Time of Day
Choose a location that represents your personality or has sentimental value. If you’re into nature, consider a park or garden. If you’re into urban vibes, try an alleyway or graffiti wall. As for the time of day, the golden hour, which is an hour before sunset, is ideal for taking outdoor photos.
Props and Accessories
Think of props and accessories that represent your interests and hobbies. If you’re a musician, bring your instrument. If you’re a bookworm, bring your favorite book.
What to Expect During Your Senior Session
During your senior session, your photographer will guide you through various poses and angles to capture your best features. Don’t be afraid to express yourself and show off your unique personality. I will also make sure that you’re comfortable and confident throughout the session.
Preserving Your Senior Session Memories
After the photo shoot, I will provide you with a gallery of edited photos. Senior sessions are a timeless memory to cherish and look back on for years to come.
Conclusion
Senior sessions are a special occasion that marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It’s a time to celebrate your accomplishments, individuality, and unique style. Remember to choose the right outfit, plan your hair and makeup, choose the right location and props, and most importantly, express yourself and have fun during the session. Your senior session will be a timeless memory to cherish and look back on for years to come.

We had an 8 am photoshoot scheduled for our wedding anniversary, it was a rainy day and Jay was flexible enough to move the shoot to a different time that worked. He was amazingly energetic and happy during the shoot which made our experience super enjoyable and comfortable. This is the best photoshoot experience we had in years. He was super sweet to even send a edited picture within an hour after the shoot as an anniversary gift !!!

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from JH Photographers! I was in the processes of updating my website and needed a couple of head shots and a photo for the “about me” page. Jay gave me some suggestions based on the look and feel I wanted to portray. In one hour he nailed it! That evening he was able to send me all the photos to review. The hard part was picking my favorites! Jay is professional and a very talented photographer. I would definitely recommend JH Photographers!
