Senior Portrait Photography Tips & Tricks.
​
For students preparing to graduate, their senior portrait photography choices will be one of the most important memories that they leave behind. We've all seen beautiful or silly senior portraits posted on the internet. If you want your senior portrait to withstand the test of time, you need to know how to prepare. Whether you are shooting with JBella Photography or you are handing your parents a camera to do the job, you'll want to be prepared.
The best senior portrait photography sessions will focus on the personality of the student. Rather than wearing overwhelming clothing or handling a ton of props, students should come to the session with nice clothing and a smile. Simpler styles tend to photograph better, but don't ever sacrifice your personality for the photo shoot. If you want to dress up, dress up! Bring multiple wardrobe options to the session and dress for the weather, as most senior portraits will be taken outdoors.
