High School Senior Guy Sessions…
Senior Portraits are such a favorite of mine. I actually have more experience with guys than girls so far. I love the one on one interaction & posing. It took me lots and lots of practice to get the posing thing down, but I did and here we are! Senior guy’s are a different vibe from the girls. I like to have a meeting with my senior and get to know them a little bit before we take photos. What sports do they play, favorite hobbies, what do they do for fun. We talk about what to wear and what props to bring to the session, if they want. Some popular props are: their vehicle, letterman jacket, pet, instrument, sport ball, cap and gown, etc. I always encourage them to bring a parent, friend or sibling along with on the shoot to help them out with things. They can assist you as we go and be a lot of help to both of us! :) I’ll be sure to get some photos of you two as well if you would like.
Pick out your looks for the session well in advance. Decide how many you’re going to do and try them all on. Make sure there aren’t any stains or imperfections. Also, press garments that look wrinkly. I like to take my clothes to the dry cleaners for this because they are better at it than I am, LOL. You may need to buy something new to complete your outfits, like shoes, belt or hat to complete your look. See that everything FITS WELL. Too tight or too baggy isn’t going to photograph well.
If you’re looking for a salon, I recommend Salon Cappello in Liberty Lake, WA. My own stylist, Stephanie, of 15+ years is there and she’s amazing. If you’re looking for a good barber, I recommend 20/20 vision barber on NW Boulevard, Chris will take care of you there. He can give you an excellent fade, my son loves him.
To give you an idea of what a session with me would look like, you can head over to my instagram page (@emilyregnophoto) and watch some reels! I have a handful of Senior Guy sessions on video complete with results. Don’t worry about posing yourself, that’s my job and I’m prepared with lots of poses and prompts.
When picking a location (or locations) I suggest you visit the place you’re thinking of using ahead of time to make sure. I like to consider how far we will have to walk and how many outfit changes you will have. Keeping locations close will help us to stay on track with the time, and leaves more time for changing clothes. I pack a changing tent with me to make swapping outfits faster. I have a blog with a whole list of locations here in Spokane. You can also check out my gallery and see if there are any locations that speak to you! :) If you’re not sure what location you would like, I can always pick for you or make suggestions. No worries ;)
Thanks so much for reading the blog, I look forward to working with you! :)
