Senior Year
Congratulations! You did the hard part. You’ve gotten through twelve long years of homework, extracurricular activities, school assemblies, studying, and finals. (And hopefully, you found time to make lots of fun memories along the way, too!)
You’ve earned it. You’re graduating. Now it’s time to celebrate! Make sure you always remember your twelfth year with a professional high school senior portrait session. Senior photos are the best way to capture and share your excitement about graduating and finishing such an important chapter of your life.
At Erin Langford Photography we want your senior experience to be one that you remember for years to come. We hope you will come to feel more like a friend than just another photography client. I’ll be there every step of the way to help you prepare for your session, show off what makes you uniquely you, and get some timeless images you can’t wait to share. Let’s get started!
High School Senior photos aren’t like yearbook photos. You don’t just get one shot to have a decent picture. We’ll make sure you get plenty of different photos, from serious to silly, formal to casual. Of course, the sky’s the limit — whatever idea you have, we can totally make it happen.
Your senior year flies by so quickly, which is why it’s so important to capture this amazing time in your life.
When you invest with me as your photographer, you’re investing in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Right from the start, you’ll notice how different your senior portrait experience is to what your parents or even your older siblings might have experienced.
"Two of my teen girls had a photo shoot with Erin and she was very professional. She took the time to do surveys with us, their relatives and coaches to know more about them. All the photos reflect who they truly are and also their personalities are captured. We are very pleased with the work she has done."

How to show your personality at your senior portrait session?
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: your high school senior portraits don’t have to look just like everyone else’s. In fact, they shouldn’t! There’s only one you. You’re unique, and so was your high school experience. Every high school senior should infuse their senior session with their interests, style, and unique personality. Here are a few ways you can do that!
Bring props
Show off what you love to do and what you’re best at by bringing a few props to your shoot. Did you play in the orchestra? Bring along your violin. Did you play high school soccer? Grab your cleats and a soccer ball. Did you star in the school play? Bring along your tap shoes or the hat you wore in the role. Don’t be afraid to make your photos your own!
Wear a favorite outfit
Don’t dress like someone you’re not. Resist the urge to go out and buy a brand new outfit for your photo session. Instead, wear something you already love. Dress in an outfit that makes you feel great, shows off your individual style, and expresses who you are. If you’re a dancer, bring your favorite dance costume.
Take photos at your favorite location
Consider doing your photoshoot at a place that’s meaningful to you — and don’t be afraid to get creative! Did you spend all your time in the high school art room? Get a few shots of you at work on a canvas. Did you spend countless hours at football practice? Snap a few photos on the field. Did you walk over to the nearest Taco Bell during lunchtime every day? Strike a pose with a burrito. The more creative, the better!
Show off your less serious side
Sure, you’ll want to get some posed formal shots for Mom — but that doesn’t mean all of your senior photos need to be that way. Get a few fun, candid shots of you just being you! Make a funny face, strike some silly model poses, balance a football on your head — don’t be afraid to goof off a little in front of the camera.
