5 Reasons to Have Professional Senior Portraits Taken

Won21

You’re about to graduate and embark on a new journey in your life, whether to college or starting a career. High school graduation is all about leaving your childhood behind and moving into the next phase of your life as an adult. 

Professional senior portraits are the perfect way to mark this milestone in your life. These images give both you and your parents something to look back on in the years to come, as well as a way to share your excitement with friends and family about your accomplishments and the big changes to come in your life.

  • Capture your personality

    For your parents, senior portraits were probably a little more formal—a nice dress or shirt and tie in a photo studio. Today, however, professional photographers who specialize in senior portraits are able to create images that are closer to works of art. Through skillful lighting, posing, and editing, a professional photographer can help capture images that show off your personality and the things you love.

  • Celebrate your accomplishments

    You’ve worked hard to get to graduation, from studying for exams to participating in sports or other extracurriculars. You deserve to celebrate everything you’ve accomplished over the last four years of your high school career. A senior portrait session is a great way to celebrate all that you’ve done while looking forward to the future.

  • Remember this moment

    Graduation is a huge occasion, and while you may feel like you will remember it forever, you may be surprised how quickly you might forget the feeling. Photos are a wonderful way to capture not only how you looked, but your personality and interests. Looking back on your senior photos in the future will allow you to remember that unique time in your life years later.

  • Get the expertise you need

    Anyone can snap a few photos, but if you want someone to make you look your absolute best, you need a professional photographer. They can help guide you through poses and even facial expressions to help get images you’ll love. Plus, their skill in lighting and framing photos, as well as editing, will give your photos the boost they need to be truly memorable.

  • Make your parents happy

    While your senior photos are about you and your accomplishments, they also mark a huge moment in the lives of your parents as well. What better way to thank Mom and Dad for their support than to give them a memento celebrating how far you’ve come?

    Graduating from high school is an important milestone in your life, which is why it’s so important to document this moment. You deserve quality images that you can look back on for years to come and maybe even show your own children one day. A professional senior session is an investment in memories and well worth it. 



Alexxa’s Downtown Harrisburg Senior Session

I am so excited to share Alexxa's Downtown Harrisburg Senior Session!  She just entered her senior year at Boiling Springs High School.  When Alexxa booked her senior session with me, I knew just the perfect location to suit her style.  She didn't want the typical "sunflower field" senior pictures that are common amongst high school senior girls these days.  I loved this about her! She is original and wanted that to reflect in her portraits. So, we did just that. We choose to start her downtown senior session in Shipoke, Harrisburg.  All the colors, textures and dimensions of the downtown Shipoke scenery were a perfect fit.  Later, Alexxa's choice location at the Capitol building proved to offer a beautiful result as well! Her outfit choices were perfect and the evening light was magnificent! Alexxa's fun and super easy going personality made this senior session one of my favorites!

Alexxa, what can I say? You killed it, girl! I absolutely loved working with you and you look absolutely stunning in ALL of your shots! Narrowing these down was truly a tough job. Thanks for choosing me to capture these memories for you! I hope cherish these images as much as I know your momma will!

Olivia {Central PA High School Senior Photography}

I love spending summer evenings with high school seniors! This beautiful girl is a high school senior at Cumberland Valley High School this year. She's totally on top of things and already has her college plans all set and in place. It was a pleasure to work with you, Olivia! :)

Taylor is a SENIOR! :) {Mechanicsburg PA High School Senior Photographer}

This beautiful (senior!) girl is Taylor. I first met Taylor when I photographed her for the cover of Central Penn Parent magazine when she was in middle school. I've been blessed to work with her and her super fun family every year since her cover shoot! It's hard for me to believe she's going to be a senior already. Taylor is truly a one-of-a-kind girl who is beautiful on the inside and out! She's one of the sweetest teens I've ever met and had the pleasure of working with!
