Having Senior Pictures Taken By A Professional

By Joanna Walsh


Your child is in her last year of high school and there are so many things that need to be done in a very short amount of time. Her senior pictures are probably one of the most important tasks on your list and you want to make sure they are of the highest quality and that they reflect her personality and accomplishments. Green Bay WI photographers will be happy to help you with your teen's photos and can provide you with a variety of film expertise.

Inquire of local photographers in this city to find the businesses or individuals who produce quality photos. Some will have specialties in wedding photography or children's portraits. Others do a wide array of photography products but may not be specialized enough to give you exactly the quality you are seeking. Search for a photographer who seems to take large amounts of high school photos and who is very well known among the student population and their parents.

Ask friends and family for suggestions. Many of them may have had teenagers who utilized a photographer's services. Ask questions about price, quality, turnaround time, number of photos included, professionalism and more. View the photos they have to see if they are the type that you are looking for.

When you narrow down those photographers you are interested in, view samples of their work. Check the different poses and backgrounds they use as well as the attention to detail and color. You can do this online or you can visit their offices and go through their portfolios.

Ask about pricing and what it includes. The details should lay out how many different locations can be used, how many changes of clothing can be done, and how long the session will take. Be absolutely clear as to the poses and shots you are looking for to save time and frustration on both sides. Be sure to have all specifics agreed upon and in writing before you proceed with this process.

Go with your teen to all of the shoots to make sure that the session is done as described. Help with clothing changes, makeup and hair, and also in keeping the session on schedule. You may even want to hire a professional hair and makeup person to make sure that all details are perfection.

Examine the proofs carefully before making final selections. Choose the photos that best reflect your child's personality and what the different purposes of the photos are. You may need a pose for a large display photos, one for the inside of her class announcements, and another for her to give to her friends. The number you select will depend on the variety of different poses as well as your budget. Often the photographer will include the DVD or CD of photos in the price and you can print out whatever you like at your leisure.

Choosing the right individual or company will provide you with a product that will be viewed for a lifetime. The image of your child will take a place of honor in your home and you will be very proud to show family and friends this depiction of your teen.
