Senior year is such an incredible season full of memories that will leave a lasting impact on your heart: pep rallies, senior events, prom, college night, campus visits, and big decisions. And, it’s also a season of scary choices and life changes. I still remember my own senior year like it was yesterday!
My number one priority as your senior photographer is to capture the real, natural joy during such an exciting season of your life. I want to capture you in beautiful, natural photos that reflect your happiness and give you memories to look back on for years to come!
Senior Pictures that focus on the True You
Bold. Bright. Happy.
I know how daunting adding ANOTHER senior event to your calendar can be... but I also know how important this event, a senior portrait session, is to you. That's why I have gone ahead and taken care of all the prep work for you. I go above and beyond when it comes to my clients.
What is a TRP Senior Session like?
Can I tell you something I wish someone told me when I was a high school senior? Ok, here we go... The next time you take pics like this, it will likely be your wedding day and by then you'll be a completely different person. Capture YOU as you are right now - right in the middle of the most incredible life change ever. You're only a senior ONCE in your life!
This is your year...
Let's make these memories
last a lifetime!
Woo hoo!
Before the senior session ever begins I help you find out exactly what outfits you're going to wear at what locations each look.
There's no reason to panic wondering what to bring or what to wear.
Pre-Session Prep
STEP ONE
On the day of your photo shoot, all you have to do is show up! I will handle the rest!
Session Day Details
STEP TWO
Ready to see your senior photo gallery? I will send your beautiful gallery right to your inbox & if you'd like to order an album or canvas, you can order directly from your gallery!
You can download your gallery of images with the click of a button & share them too!
Post-Session Perfection
STEP Three
Secondly, I promise to make you feel comfortable, confident and radiant in front of the camera. I will pose and guide you for our entire shoot - no modeling experience required!
My goal is to enhance your natural beauty...
not change the way you look.
The real, natural, beautiful you. I know you don't want to look like someone else in your pictures... just the best YOU possible. That's why I pride myself on an organic editing process that maintains skin texture, skin tone, colors present in the image, etc. Your teeth won't be a blinding shade of white, your eyes will remain their real color, and it won't look like we edited your pics with an Instagram filter. Nope... no fake tones or processes here! When you book your session with TRP you can rest easy – my images are bold, colorful and consistent.
PROMISE

“Woah Tina… isn’t it a little early to book my senior pics?” HECK NO! And let me tell you why (hint…there’s perks to booking early)!
I usually book out about 3-6 months in advance. Yes… THAT EARLY! WHY?!? Because I like to prepare for your senior session in advance so that it isn’t a hurried thrown together mess the day of your session. So that means if you want a Spring session, the Fall before is the time to book!
Here's a few reasons why booking early is the best choice...

Your Session Wardrobe
How to Curate
03 / 04
Stay TRUE TO YOU! While it may be fun to wear bold patterns and colors because your friend did it and it looked great in her pics, if you normally wouldn’t wear those threads, it’s best not to. Stay true to what you would normally wear to best represent yourself.

Stay classic with a TWIST OF TREND! While oversized sweatshirts & bike shorts are all the rage right now, err on the side of classic sophistication for your session day. You never want to look back on your senior pics in 5 years and say, “What the heck was I thinking?!?”

NEVER Do Before Your Senior Session
5 Things You Should
01 / 05
Spray, airbrush, or any faux tanner can leave you looking orange and can make your ankles, wrists, and knuckles even look dirty. Ew. I get you want to look like you’ve just returned from the Bahamas, but you want to be VERY careful with this. I’ve seen busted wrists, knuckles, and ankles because the color can settle into the creases and wrinkles and it can look rough, friends.
Self-Tanning

The same goes for hair color. Freshen up your look with your usual color / highlights, but don’t make a drastic change. It could not only shock you, but could also change the way your skin tones look, depending on the color of your hair.
