How to Make Your Senior Photoshoot More Personal

As much as your senior photoshoot is meant to commemorate an important milestone, it should also showcase who you are. Choosing a unique location and an outfit you love is only one part of the process. What you bring to your senior session is what will truly make this a personal shoot.

For example, you could take a photo in your sports uniform in a locker room to highlight your sports career but adding other smaller details is what will make your photos more personal. This could be anything from having trophies and equipment in the background to surrounding yourself with jerseys from different years.

Didn’t play any sports in school? There are many other ways to personalize your senior photo sessions. Here are some other examples:

-        Showcase your musical instrument.

-        Add in props that speak to your personal hobbies. This could be an art canvas, camera, or craft supplies.

-        Include your pets in some of your shots because they helped you get through your schooling career.

-        If fashion is your thing, put together a unique outfit that celebrates your quirky style.

-        Pose next to your dirt motorcycle or off-road bicycle.

There are no rules when it comes to personalizing your senior photos, but it is important to do so. These are photos you want to look back on and immediately remember who you were and what made you tick.

Props come in all shapes and sizes and no prop is too big or too small.

If you aren’t entirely sure how you want to personalize your senior photos, take a look around your room and keep track of how you spend your time over the next week or two. You will easily find some inspiration this way. You can even speak to friends and family about how they see you for extra ideas.
