Will you be a high school senior in the fall? Now is the time to schedule your senior portraits.
Kaukauna-based portrait photographer Kymblerly Carlson has been working with area high school seniors, families and babies since 2009. She shared these five tips to guarantee a successful senior portrait session:
1) When should I schedule? The best time to have your high school senior portrait taken is the summer before your senior year. Fall is a busy time for seniors. Between sports or plays, applying for college and classes, there is little extra time for photos.
2) What should I wear? Choose a photographer that allow multiple outfit changes. Include something simple, some that are coordinated and maybe an outfit that’s fun. Your photographer will have more suggestions on what has looked good in the past.
3) Should I get my hair cut, or done, before the photos? This is an absolute yes. After your schedule your photo shoot, schedule your hair appointment.
4) Should I have a prop? Many seniors do, but it’s not necessary. If you play a sport or instrument, bring something along that’s representative. Bring any props that speak to your character, such as pets, cars, sports equipment, musical instruments or anything else that tells about you.
5) Can I use my senior portrait for the yearbook? Your photographer will include poses appropriate for your yearbook in your shoot. Check with your yearbook adviser for the deadline to submit your photos. It’s often much earlier than you might think.
Photographer Kymberly Carlson can walk you through all of these decisions when you call to make an appointment.
