Senior sessions are notorious for being ‘over-thought’ and ‘over-worked’. I aim to grab those stunning shots for everyone to hang on to: grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, the boyfriend and the best friend. In doing so, I also focus on not letting too much get in the way.

How to get the best session? Only focus on the parts that are vital. This allows a little extra time to play and nab the unconventional shots because you aren’t worried too much about the additional things which can create stress and unnecessary work.

1. A simple theme.

2. Fresh makeup.

3. Surroundings which are symbolic to the senior.

4. A relaxed style look with a maximum of two other looks.

5. A background which needs very few props — if any at all.
