5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Senior Portrait Photographer
1. Style and Aesthetic
Every photographer has a unique style. Do you prefer glowing, vibrant images with a dreamy golden-hour feel? Or maybe you’re drawn to a moody, dramatic vibe? Look through a photographer’s portfolio or Instagram feed to see if their work matches your vision. At Coastal Cowgirl Photography, our style is glowing and radiant, with backlit subjects that feel effortlessly beautiful. It’s important to pick someone whose artistic style resonates with you.
2. Experience with Senior Portraits
Not all photographers specialize in seniors. Look for someone with expertise in working with high school seniors. They’ll know how to pose you in ways that highlight your natural beauty, guide you through the process, and ensure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. At Coastal Cowgirl Photography, we’ve specialized in senior portraits for over 10 years and understand how to make seniors feel confident and excited about their session.
3. Session Locations
The location of your session can make a huge difference in the overall vibe of your photos. Do you want wildflower fields, fall-colored backdrops, a quaint small-town feel, or a modern cityscape? Ask your photographer about their favorite locations or if they’re open to your ideas. Coastal Cowgirl Photography offers stunning outdoor spots in Rutherford, Williamson, and Davidson counties, from small-town, historic Franklin to rural Christiana or downtown Nashville, ensuring the perfect setting for your style.
4. Product and Package Options
What do you want to do with your senior photos? Some photographers offer only digital images, while others provide prints, albums, canvas wraps, and graduation announcements. Be sure to choose a photographer who provides the products and services that align with your needs. We offer a variety of custom products so you can preserve your memories beautifully, from classic prints to heirloom albums. We’ll cover this more extensively in a future blog post.
5. Connection and Personality
Your photographer should feel like someone you’d enjoy spending time with! A great photographer will make you feel relaxed and comfortable while guiding you every step of the way.
