Senior Portraits
Our Senior Portrait Session will last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. It will include your formal (drape for the gals or a tux for the guys), up to 4 outfit changes, 4 backgrounds and we can do indoor or outdoor.
Your session should be all about you! We want to capture the things that you enjoy and that make you who you are! Do you play sports, or an instrument, maybe you're in a cool club or have a special hobby.
Bring your instrument, sports uniform, your favorite hobby item, your pet or your car. This is what your session is all about! Having fun and making memories that you and your family will cherish.
Tips for a Successful Senior Session
- Be Prepared: Call us to discuss your upcoming session. This will allow us to coordinate your personality and clothing choices with our set or location.
- Clean Up: Shave; remove or touch up nail polish; wash off dirt, paint and temporary tattoos; brush & floss your teeth, clean your glasses, etc.
- Guys: Bring a clean white t-shirt for your tux portrait.
- Girls: Bring a strapless bra to wear for the formal drape portrait.
- Arrive 10-15 Minutes Early: This will give you time to take a breath and cool down before the action begins.
- Avoid Drastic Appearance Changes: Don’t get a drastic haircut or tan (hopefully not a sunburn) right before your session.
- Wear Your Normal Makeup: A touch of foundation will smooth your skin tones and make them even. Mascara will make your eyes stand out, but avoid too much dark eyeliner. Avoid lip gloss and glitter; the bright reflections do not look good in photos.
- Breakouts happen to everyone! Don’t worry about it. Ananchel offers free blemish removal.
- Avoid too much sun. Severe tan lines and sunburn will require additional retouching fees.
- Iron & hang your clothes before you arrive.
- Bring personal items that show who you are. Sports equipment & uniforms, medals, pets, instruments, trophies, books, artwork & supplies, shopping bags, outdoor equipment, or car (for certain sessions).
- Bring extra clothes. An outfit might spark some creative ideas for your session.
