Senior Photo Shoot in Columbus, OH - Claudine Kosier Photography
Senior Year is so exciting and there is a laundry list of things you've got to get done. On top of all of that, it's almost time to book your Senior Portrait Session, and you have no idea where to start! Don't worry! I've got you!!
Lucky for you I've been doing this for so long that I've compiled an easy and quick list of mistakes not to make to get you through the process!
1. Book Early! Senior Year comes quicker than you may think! Most seniors have their photo shoots booked by mid-junior year to start shooting in the spring or summer. Why so early, you ask? I only take 30 seniors per season to ensure my attention is fully on each client. I take pride in giving each of my clients the attention they deserve. By limiting my bookings to just 30 seniors per year, I ensure a personalized experience from start to finish. From helping you choose the perfect outfits to capturing your unique personality on camera, I'm here to make your senior session easy and fun, and perfectly YOU!
2. Be On Time! They say timing is everything, and when it comes to your senior session, truer words were never spoken! The golden hour, that magical time just before sunset, offers the most enchanting lighting for your photo shoot. But here's the deal – being fashionably late could mean missing out on some of the best light and, ultimately, fewer images to choose from. So, be a star and arrive on time (or even a tad early). After all, punctuality pays off with stunning images and a stress-free session.
3. Planning 101: Ready to dive into the planning of your session? Before our client consult, kickstart your own planning sesh with a Pinterest board filled with inspiration. From poses to makeup looks, let your vision run wild! During our consult, we'll brainstorm, plan, and strategize to ensure every aspect of your session is picture-perfect.

4. Mix It Up: Variety is the spice of life – and the secret sauce to an unforgettable senior session! As you plan your wardrobe, remember to mix and match styles, colors, and textures. From casual cool to glamorous chic, each outfit change adds variety and dimension to your photos. So, whether you're rocking your favorite sports jersey or channeling your inner fashionista, embrace the diversity and let your personality shine through! Got a cute prop or accessory that adds to your look - BRING IT!
5. Choose Wisely: Last but certainly not least, let's talk about finding the perfect photographer. With so many options out there, it's essential to do your homework. Take the time to review portfolios, explore different styles, and, most importantly, connect with your photographer on a personal level. After all, you'll be spending some quality time together, so it's crucial to vibe well and ensure they understand your vision. Remember, this is your moment to shine, and the right photographer will capture it in all its glory.
So, there you have it – your friendly guide to planning the ultimate senior session by avoiding typical mistakes! From booking early to embracing variety, these tips will help you make the most of this milestone moment. Your senior year awaits – let's capture it in style!
