We all have those things about us that make us unique. It’s what makes life a little more beautiful. So, when you are planning your senior pictures, there is a good chance you don’t want to have pictures that feel cookie-cutter. If you need some help personalizing your photos, I have you covered! As a Chicago senior photographer, I absolutely adore working with students to make sure their pictures are everything they want. Here are some of my tips for making your Neuqua Valley High School pictures stand out!
First of all, it helps to take a storytelling approach to your session. We want to show the audience how you have spent your time throughout the past four years at Neuqua Valley High School. Did you spend every Saturday on the soccer field stopping goals? Then bring along your ball and your uniform, and let’s show that off. Did you play an instrument? You can pose with it or play a few notes! Show what made these past four years so special!
Your car means a lot throughout your time at Neuqua Valley High School. Whether you restored a vintage Mustang or were gifted your dad’s old Toyota Corolla, it has been your source of freedom. We can plan some pictures with you posing near it, or you can get behind the wheel. Just be sure to have it cleaned and detailed first!
This is a celebration! Let’s show that off! Confetti and balloons are such an easy way to make those Neuqua Valley High School pictures feel a bit more festive. You can choose colors that go along with your high school, or you can pick ones showing off your college of choice. If you do choose to use some confetti, it’s a good idea to use biodegradable options since it can be impossible to pick it all up afterward.
I love letting my clients bring along their best friends for their sessions! They have been here for the past couple of years, cheering you on and supporting you when the stress felt overwhelming. Why not have them by your side? This can also be a helpful way to make your pictures feel a little less stiff and unnatural. After all, it’s hard to feel uncomfortable when you are laughing with your bestie!
If you have a four-legged friend who stuck by your side throughout high school, I would love for you to bring them! These Neuqua Valley High School pictures are going to be especially meaningful when you go away to college and are missing them. If you do choose to bring a pet, you will want to pick pet-friendly locations and have someone there who can take them once their time to shine is over. Also, be sure to take them to the groomers ahead of time so they are photo-ready!
