Hiring A Professional To Take Your Child's Senior Pictures

By Stacey Burt


You have a child who is getting ready to graduate from high school. The one task that still must be completed before her graduation is having her senior pictures taken and there are many professionals in Green Bay WI that would love to take over this task for you. Every photographer will have his own style and technique so choose the professional who will take the type of photographs you have envisioned for your child.

Ask your child to select several outfits for the shoot and assist her if she needs help in choosing the most flattering styles. Select both casual and formal wear for the portfolio. Don't forget matching shoes if full-length shots are to be taken. Accent pieces such as hair items and assorted jewelry can all be included. She may want to have her hair styled so the more formal shooting can take place first and then she can relax the style and allow it to go back to its natural state for the casual photos.

Add special props for more impact. Select the types that are related to her interests. She can bring along such items as a musical instrument or a symbol of a club she belongs to. If she is in sports, have her dress the part and shoot photos of her in a basketball uniform, volleyball uniform or even a swimsuit if she is on the swim team. Cheerleaders should take shots at the actual school or even before, after or during a big game.

If you have a friend or acquaintance who can do wonders with makeup, by all means bring her along. Appropriate makeup will assist in hiding flaws and will bring out the best features of the student. She will feel more confident and attractive and this will show in the final proofs.

You want the photos to be as natural as possible so it is important to convey this to the photographer. Give this professional some background as to your daughter's personality and interests so he will have a good idea of what photos will highlight her in the most positive manner. Ask him to take a few black and white and sepia photos for special effect.

Your teen's personality and charisma should shine through on these once-in-a-lifetime photos. The family will have a record of her high school years on hand that can be pulled out and reviewed often. Special frames can be purchased so the photos can be displayed around the living areas of the home.

Ask the photographer to take unexpected and unplanned shots of your graduating student. Sometimes it is these poses that are the most authentic and the most appealing.

If you have friends and relatives from out of town, choose a pose that reflects where you live. The green background of this state during the summer months or the snowy landscape during the winter will make an excellent backdrop for the photographs. School colors can also be featured for backgrounds in formal photos.

High school photos are important especially in the last year of school. Taking special care and time in selecting a professional photographer and the settings for the pictures will give you a quality outcome that can be viewed for years to come.
