Senior photography
A Senior Picture Planning Guide for Macon, GA
Start planning senior pictures with two lists. One is for deadlines, such as the yearbook or graduation announcements. The other is for the places, outfits and interests that feel like you. Together they’ll help you decide when to schedule the session and what to bring.
Work back from the first deadline
Check the earliest date you’ll need a finished image and leave time for photo selection, editing and delivery. If you’re choosing between seasons, think about what you’d enjoy wearing and how you want the location to look. Ashah Smith’s Macon senior pictures blog post explains why summer and fall are popular choices and offers outfit ideas.
Pick a place that has a reason
A spot tied to a sport or hobby can make the photos more personal. If you prefer a simple portrait, look for a quieter setting that lets your expression carry the image. Ask about access and how far you’ll need to walk between locations, especially if you plan to change outfits.
Build a small wardrobe around your plans
Start with something you’d happily wear on a normal day and add a dressier option if you want variety. Try each outfit with shoes and accessories ahead of time. If you bring a jersey, an instrument or something connected to a hobby, tell your photographer what it means to you.
Talk through how you’ll use the pictures
A yearbook submission, a graduation announcement and a framed portrait can call for different crops. Ashah Photography’s senior portrait sessions in Macon offer help with locations, outfits, posing and choosing finished images.
