The most popular question I get asked is, “Where will we take my senior photos?” Location is a big piece of making sure your photos are unique to you and fit your personality and style. But with so many location options, how do you pick the one that is best for you? I am here to help choose the best location for your senior photos.
5 Location Considerations
1. YOU—the first thing we should consider when picking locations is you! Is there a specific location that you love? Maybe your family has a special spot that you like to visit and spend time or maybe your family owns land or other locations you love. First, consider the places you love to help you pick a location that will be perfect for your senior photos. Be sure to let your photographer know about any locations you are thinking of so they can make sure it will give you the best option for your senior photos.
2. Your Style—what is your style and what you will be wearing for your senior photos? The location needs to coordinate with the style of clothing you plan on wearing. If you are planning on wearing a long, flowing styled dress, then a field would be best. But if you plan on wearing a leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a vintage concert tee, then an urban location would look best. By determining the outfits for your session, you can help narrow down the location options.
3. Your Personality—are you a casual person who loves the outdoors? Then a natural type location would work great. Maybe you are bright, cheery, and love color. If so, a location that has a colorful background would help show off your unique personality.
4. Your Hobbies and Interests—ask yourself what your favorite thing to do is. Maybe you love to ride horses. If so, a horse farm could be the perfect location for your senior photos. Are you a dancer? Then a dance studio could be a great location.
5. Where and how will you use these images—or more specifically, will mom and dad be hanging these photos in your home? If so, picking a location that would look good displayed in your home is a great way to narrow down your location options. You want to make sure that the colors and style of the location in the background look good hanging on the wall in your home.
