GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR SENIOR PICTURES 

January 29, 2025



I know how daunting prepping for your Creative Senior Portraits can be! You first have to choose your photographer for your Creative Senior Portraits. Do you go with the person who does all your friend’s pictures? Do you go with someone your mom chooses? Do you find the absolutely perfect person who can define who you are and tell your story with Creative Senior Portraits?

To do any of these you have to be bold and know who you are! Isn’t that what your senior year in high school about anyway? It’s all about crafting unique Creative Senior Portraits that reflect your true self!

How to choose the right photographer

Creative Senior Portraits can capture your unique style and personality, making your senior year unforgettable.

Do You Love the Photos You See?

When you look at a photographer’s work, do the images speak to you? Do they feel real—full of emotion, artistry, and the kind of glamour that comes from amazing hair and makeup?

My focus? Bringing out the true you. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just your story, told through co-created concepts and polished to perfection.

Connection Is Everything

The secret to incredible photos? Trusting your photographer. I want you to feel relaxed, confident, and actually enjoy your session. (And yes, I’ll totally make a fool of myself to show you how to pose—no shame here!)

Photos You’ll Love for a Lifetime

Picture this: Years from now, you’re flipping through your senior photos (wait, did I just time-travel you to post-college life?). Will they still make you proud? That’s why I offer:

  • Digital images to share with friends right away

Wall art that will remind you of how much you are adored and uniquely you.

Because your senior photos shouldn’t just be pictures—they should be a celebration of who you are, now and always.

Creative Senior Portraits are not just photographs; they are an expression of who you are during this pivotal time in your life.

Think about YOUR story and what small things show this. Are you a dancer? Love pointe? What accessories can you choose that will artistically suggest this without being cheesy?

Finally- the perfect style accessories. Think about what you are wearing by defining what your style is and how that ties into your “story” look. It’s a good thing I have a complete Senior Fashion Closet full of dresses that you can borrow something amazing from. I stock sizes from 00-18 – from high end fashion to cute and whimsical. Dresses you might just love

Do you need a rocking piece that can’t be found anywhere? Good news- I have an amazing partnership with THE COSTUME COLLECTIVE to get you THAT ONE PIECE that will make your story come to life. 

What should you consider when choosing the best photographer in Minnesota? (me, it’s me)

Think about YOUR story and what small things show this.

Your personal style is an essential part of your overall look, so selecting the right accessories to complement your outfit is crucial. Define your style and choose accessories that enhance your desired story look. Accessorizing with pieces from a Senior Fashion Closet can add unique touches to your ensemble.

Consider borrowing statement pieces that align with your personal fashion preferences. If you’re searching for a special item to elevate your look, collaborating with THE COSTUME COLLECTIVE could provide that perfect finishing touch.
