Senior Portraits

Your senior portrait should tell a visual story about who you are as an individual. As a teenager, you have a lot going on, from personal development to social situations, to high school and family responsibilities. Alyn Stafford Photography's main goal is to capture who you are and what you like to do; to make you look good in print, while telling "Your Story!"

Each session begins with a personal consult to learn more about who you are and what makes you "tick" as a teen. We will discuss your likes, hobbies, and listen to your ideas about what you want from the session as well. From the session, Alyn will design a custom shot plan captures your personality in print to share with friends and family for years to come. All photography is currently photographed on location in the inland empire or other Southern California destinations. (Note, travel fee's may apply to certain destinations.)

Preparation Tips for your Senior Portrait Session

• Be Flexible - Your days events and planning can change. The photographer can be inspired by many things and change the plan. Flexibility in mood and timing can help you stay focused and mentally prepared for a great senior portrait session.
• Get a Good nights Rest - Being tired the next day for your photo shoot can be harmful to your photos. Tired eyes and a "dragging" body don't make for a good photo session.
• Take Several Outfits - It's a good idea to have several outfits of clothing that reflect your personal style. You should first consult with your photographer about the types of photos you would like so that the photographer can advise you of the wardrobe to bring. Remember to make sure they are stain and wrinkle free for the shoot. In addition, don't forget to ask about what colors to wear. Your photographer will advise you on this issue as well.
• Hair and Makeup - Stick with a proven hairstyle for your shoot. As for make-up keep it simple and avoid bright red lipstick for girls. You want to look as natural as possible. If you want to have a makeup artists present, either hire one for the shoot or ask your photographer if they offer a make-up artist service.
• Blemishes and Braces - Don't stress over them. Make sure your photographer can remove them for you if you desire. Most photographers offer this service either for free or for a fee.
• Be yourself - Remember, Your senior portraits reflect who you are. Be yourself during the shoot. Most photographers will do a warm-up session for about 10 to 15 minutes to get you use to the camera and their working style.
• Bring a Friend or Parent - It's a good idea to bring someone with you when doing the photo shoot. But remember, you don't want an audience either. Too many people can make you tense as well as interfere with the photographer.
• Arrive a Few Minutes Early -  Arriving early to your photo shoot allows you and the photographer to go over last minute details, and changes in the plan, and to prepare for the shoot.
• Have Fun -  Taking senior portraits should not be work, it should be fun. The photos are all about you, so make the most of it. Have fun with the session.
