Seniors

Senior Flair

What is the point of a senior session you might wonder. It’s the opportunity to freeze this accomplishment in time. To remember back to when you were ending your adolescence and becoming an adult. Before this happens you may have had several years where you were involved in extra curricular activities. Most likely seniors wont continue these after graduation or in college so why not take the opportunity to freeze these moments in time?

I’m always up for adding in activities they’re involved in. Pictured below are a few of the activities I’ve done in the past. I’ve always wanted to shoot basketball, swimming, track, and football to name a few. Activities are probably some of my favorite things to shoot with seniors because it’s different and allows me to get extra creative.

Other ideas could be hunting, a classic car, retro microphone, sail boat, prom dress, college sweatshirt and acceptance letter whatever you are excited about.

Thanks for reading!
