When you have Senior Portraits taken with us, we have two goals for our session.  We want you to have FUN, and we want to take pictures that really reflect you.  That's why we offer you two location choices and unlimited outfit changes.  You have many sides to your personality, and we want to give you the chance to show them off.

Do you love soccer or football or hockey or any other kind of sport?  Well, one location can be at your high school's soccer field or football field or ice rink.

Have you been involved in theater or dance for as long as you can remember? Then why not have one location be your high school auditorium or dance studio. 

Is there one person that you are never separated from?  Then bring that friend with you for a few shots together.  Or, ask us about having a joint senior session with the two of you. 

These are just a few suggestions, and there are so many more.  When it's time for your Senior Portraits - think outside of the box and express yourself!  We'll go along for the ride with you, and you won't regret it.

• Make certain that you have enough memory cards for your entire vacation, or that you have a way to download pictures from your card.  Note: You never want to delete an individual photo from a memory card.  Always download the entire card, and then format it in the camera.  Deleting single images could lead to possible corruption of the data on the card.
  
• Make certain you have extra batteries, having to buy batteries at a theme park can be expensive.  Rechargeable batteries are great, but make sure you use the higher end ones to ensure longer life.
  
• Take precautions to protect your camera.  You want to keep your camera dry, and not expose it to dust or sand (i.e. be careful at the beach!).  Additionally digital cameras, like other electronics, are sensitive to extreme temperatures; be careful not to leave your camera in a hot car all day.
  
• Scout out the best location to get the shot before your family gets on that ride or goes down the trail.  Taking a few seconds to plan ahead will allow you to capture the memories of a life time.
  
• When photographing landmarks or objects of interest, look for unique aspects such as lighting, color, or shapes.  Capturing these features will give you unique pictures.
  
• Photographing at the beach can be a lot of fun, but it is also challenging.  The sun can be your best friend or worst enemy when taking pictures.  Use the sun to your advantage when photographing to add light to your subject or to provide a nice reflection in the sand or water.  Try different angles and avoid shooting directly in to the sun.

The most important thing to do is have fun and experiment -- remember you can always delete the image when you get home.  Once your trip is done, be certain to download your pictures and back them up!!  The pictures you take on your vacation will make great scrapbook pages or collages.
