When I get asked, “are senior photos important?”, the short answer is that you don’t NEED them. You don’t need photos like you need water, food, clothes, or all the really important stuff out there. They are not a NEED but the are a great PERK! And everyone loves a nice perk.
A Senior session is important for many reasons that don’t have anything to do with NEED. We take senior photos as a way to mark the end of a long chapter. They are an important part of high school. The celebrate all the hard work that high school was. And as time goes by those photographs will become even more precious.
5 Reasons Why Senior Photos are Important
Reason #1 Senior Photos Celebrate You!
Senior year is a bench mark. You are leaving behind the years of being a little kid and moving on to bigger and better things. In a lot of cases that means moving away from home. You have spent the last 17 to 18 years becoming YOU. Now is the moment to set aside some time to celebrate your uniqueness. And celebrate by taking gorgeous pictures of you!
Reason #2 Senior Photos are the Reward
You have worked hard to get here. There has been countless hours of studying, extra curricular activities, tons of classes, athletics. You name it, you probably have done it. It is time to reward yourself for all the hard work that it took to get here. A Senior session is a fun way to reward for all the blood, sweat, and tears that it took to finish strong.
Reason #3 Photos Show Who You Are
You have worked hard to get where you are. All the activities have been done and taken all the tests. You have decided to reward yourself with photos. Now it’s time YOUR time to shine. Show everyone what it is to be you. Depending on the session that you select you can bring different outfits that show your interest. Maybe even your hobbies or sports. A team uniform or an instrument are great additions to any senior session. Then when graduation comes around you can use your photos for your announcements.
Reason #4 Senior Pictures are Fun
Who doesn’t like having fun. I love having fun at my sessions. Being around teenagers keeps me young. LOL It’s so fun to take creative pictures and come up with a unique session for all my clients. I am here to make everyone feel AND look great! Even kids that didn’t want to take pictures and only did it for their mom end up having a good time. I promise, it feels amazing to take pictures and look fabulous. I think everyone deserves a photo session in their lives where they are the center of the attention.
Reason #5 Senior Portraits Make Great Gifts
There are so many ways to use the final images from your session. All packages include digital downloads. And the Platinum package include a print credit. What that you can get prints, a canvas, upgrade to a photo book, grad announcements, etc. The people in your lives that love you would love to get a keepsake from your senior year.
There are plenty of there reasons and you might even come up with some I don’t know. The one thing that I am certain about is that even though senior sessions are not a necessity they are IMPORTANT. So now it’s time to book your session and get planning.
