Your senior year is filled with exciting milestones, and your senior photos should capture this special moment in a way that feels authentic to you. But with so many photographers out there, how do you pick the right senior photographer? This guide will walk you through the key factors to consider when choosing a senior photographer and how to find the right one for you!!
1. Choose a Senior Photographer Whose Style You Love
Every photographer has a unique style, from light and airy to bold and dramatic. Take a look at their portfolio to see if their work matches your vision. If you love joyful, colorful senior photos with natural expressions, you’ve come to the right place!

Not all photographers specialize in senior portraits. Make sure you choose someone who loves working with young adults and knows how to pose, direct, and bring out your personality. A seasoned senior photographer will make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
3. Read Reviews and Testimonials
Hearing from past clients is a great way to see if a photographer is reliable and delivers amazing results. Check out Google reviews, social media comments, or testimonials on their website. Need proof? Read what my past clients have to say!
4. Consider Location Options
Do you want your session in a dreamy field, by the ocean, or in a vibrant downtown area? Ask if your photographer offers a variety of location choices and can help you pick the best spot. Not sure where to start? Here are some of my favorite locations in San Luis Obispo!

Senior photography is an investment, so make sure you understand what’s included. Some photographers offer digital images only, while others provide prints, albums, and more.

The best photos happen when you’re relaxed and having fun! Your photographer should help you feel at ease and guide you throughout the session. Look for someone with a friendly personality who makes the experience enjoyable from start to finish.
