6 Reasons You Need Senior Pictures

 

As you scroll through all the Senior Sunday posts on social media, you may be wondering if you should bother having your own senior pictures taken. The photos look great, but maybe it feels like one more thing you have to fit into your already packed schedule. Or maybe you have a major case of senioritis and you can’t wait to be done with anything related to school. You also may be worried that a professional photo shoot is too much money, especially with everything going on in the world right now. All of these thoughts may be true, but the end of senior year is an important milestone in your life. You’re transitioning from childhood into adulthood, and this is a really exciting time. You are worth celebrating! Here are six reasons senior photos are a good investment of your time and money.

 

 

Reason 1: Senior photos will make your parents happy.

 

Although senior pictures are technically all about you, your success is also their success. Your parents have invested a lot of blood, sweat and tears into helping you to the finish line. They are really proud of you, and they want to show you off to everyone they know. One way to do that is to brag about your photos either on social media or in person when people come to your house for a visit. Your parents also want to remember you exactly as you are right now. They know how fast time flies, and they know you are going to change a lot over the next few years. So give them this gift. They will treasure your photos forever.

 

 

Reason 2: Senior photos celebrate your accomplishments.

 

You worked hard for four years. You met and overcame obstacles, you navigated new experiences, and you persevered to conquer your goals. A senior photo session is a fun way to reward yourself for all your accomplishments.

 

Reason 3: Senior pictures show off your personality.

 

Your senior pictures show off your unique personality through your clothing and location choices, your genuine facial expressions as well as with props that represent some of your favorite hobbies. A good photographer will help you plan and execute the perfect session that shows off your style and doesn’t look like everyone else. 

 

Reason 4: Senior photos are a keepsake for the future.

 

You know how much fun it is to scroll through your phone and remember all the fun you’ve had with your friends? Well, I promise you are going to love doing the same thing as the years go by. Your senior pictures will remind you of exactly who you are today including your style, your hobbies and your goals and aspirations. 

 

Reason 5: Senior photos make great gifts.

 

Your parents aren’t the only ones who are proud to show you off! Your grandparents, aunts and uncles will love these photos, too. Using your favorite images to create beautiful artwork for your family is a great gift idea, and your photographer will be able to help you find the perfect way to display your photos for everyone in the family. Don’t forget, these photos are perfect for your grad announcements as well.

 

Reason 6: Your senior session is a fun experience!

 

There’s a good chance that this will be your first experience with a professional photographer, so you may feel apprehensive. But with the right photographer, you will have an amazing experience.
