Hiring A Professional To Take Your Child's Senior Pictures

By Stacey Burt


Your child is in her last year of high school. There is so much that needs to be done and one of the main tasks that still needs to be done is to have her senior pictures taken by a Green Bay WI photographer. These local professionals can produce photographs that depict the style and personality of your teen.

Ask your child to select several outfits for the shoot and assist her if she needs help in choosing the most flattering styles. Select both casual and formal wear for the portfolio. Don't forget matching shoes if full-length shots are to be taken. Accent pieces such as hair items and assorted jewelry can all be included. She may want to have her hair styled so the more formal shooting can take place first and then she can relax the style and allow it to go back to its natural state for the casual photos.

Don't forget to bring special props for extra impact. Choose the items that reflect her tastes and interests. If she is in choir or band, a musical instrument or note can be added to the shoot. Have her change into the uniform of her distinct sporting groups such as basketball, soccer, track or swimming. If she is a cheerleader, all the tools of her trade such as the megaphones and pom-poms should be included.

If you have a friend or acquaintance who can do wonders with makeup, by all means bring her along. Appropriate makeup will assist in hiding flaws and will bring out the best features of the student. She will feel more confident and attractive and this will show in the final proofs.

You want the photos to be as natural as possible so it is important to convey this to the photographer. Give this professional some background as to your daughter's personality and interests so he will have a good idea of what photos will highlight her in the most positive manner. Ask him to take a few black and white and sepia photos for special effect.

Explain to this professional how you wish to have photos that show the student's real interests and true personality. You are seeking a true and very accurate record of her last year in high school.

Also ask the photographer to take some unexpected shots so he can catch your teen when she is unaware that she is being photographed. Some truly authentic and telling photos will show the authentic side of your child when this is done.

Be sure to give some local color to the photos the professional takes. This state is famous for its natural beauty and white winters so it is important to incorporate some of this scenery into the photos if possible. This will depend on the time of year that the pictures are taken. School colors can also be used for the backgrounds of formal photographs.

The last year of high school is so very important and this is why taking these photos is so appropriate. Be sure the photographer takes great care in taking the photos to produce a record of your teen's history that can be viewed for many years to come.
