Collaborating with Seniors in the Washington DC metro area to ensure their final galley of images reflect their authentic personality is one of my favorite aspects of the photography experience. If you'd like to include a prop, college swag, or graduation regalia into your session, I'm 100% in favor of getting creative with you!


Here are some thoughts to consider...are you interested in:


  • highlighting a special accomplishment or place,

  • giving a nod towards your future plans,

  • showcasing a talent or hobby,

  • adding a touch of sentimentality from your childhood, or

  • all the above?


I'd love to incorporate your ideas in artistic ways during your session.


I'm including a few examples below from some of my recent fabulous Senior clients to help you envision how your own ideas might fit within your Senior Session.


THE CAP and GOWN & OTHER GRADUATION REGALIA:


We can select a few pieces to incorporate at a time or have a full dress rehearsal...up to you!



COLLEGE SWAG: 


Once your decisions are made, it's so exciting to incorporate that new college swag!

Don't forget about online delivery times to ensure your items arrive before your session.




HOBBIES, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SENTIMENTAL ITEMS (and locations) & NEXT STEPS: 


Incorporating details that are meaningful to you is such a joyful experience!




AND FINALLY....


I’m really looking forward to planning your special senior session and photographing you!

I'd love to explore how we can customize a session just for you.
