POV: It’s junior year, and you find yourself scrolling through your classmates’ senior photos on Instagram, admiring just how beautiful they are. As you continue to scroll, however, a familiar feeling of anxiety and self-doubt creeps in, threatening to consume you. You wonder, “will my senior photos turn out as good or will I regret it?”
You’re about to be a high school senior.!
The thought of your senior photoshoot feels like you’ve been climbing up that crazy rollercoaster at Six Flags—your stomach’s in your throat, but you’re almost there. You’re daydreaming about finally feeling confident in front of the camera, having a photographer who actually gets you, and getting photos that don’t just capture how you look, but show who you really are.
Not all photographers are the same. Some are more focused on making a pretty picture, but I need someone who cares about the whole experience. I want a photographer who understands I’m not a model and doesn’t expect me to know exactly how to pose. I don’t want my photos to look over-edited or like everyone else’s. I want variety, and I want photos that actually feel like me—not cookie-cutter shots. I need a photographer who makes it easy to relax, helps me shake off the nerves, and turns the shoot into something fun and natural.
So you decide to book a session with, Jessica, a professional senior photographer in Austin, Texas who specializes in senior year glow ups. At your initial meeting, she listens as you talk about your ideas and preferences and asks thoughtful questions to get to know you and your preferences, and you start to feel excited. She’s supportive, encouraging, and genuinely interested in helping you feel confident and beautiful in your senior portraits.
On the day of the shoot, you’re nervous but excited. You’ve chosen a few outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident, and Jessica has scouted out locations that match your vibe. As she starts taking photos and directing you, you start to forget your insecurities and focus on the moment. You’re laughing, twirling, and just being yourself – and Jessica is capturing it all.
When you see the final images, you can hardly believe it! Your friends ooo and ahhh and you feel amazing because someone was finally able to see the real you and capture it in a way that makes you feel amazing about yourself. You couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish your last year of high school and give you the momentum you need for the real world.
The perfect confidence boost before starting your senior year.
