Your Senior Year is one of the most memorable times of your life.  Remembering to capture those moments isn't always something we tend to think about, as you are trying to get those essays done and get applications in for college. Let me take some of that burden off of your plate! Senior Pictures can be a great way to remember that last year of high school! 

Your senior photos should reflect your personality and individuality. Feel free to bring in your uniform or sports equipment, pom-poms, guitar, drum set, violin or other musical instrument, awards, favorite books or magazines, best friend, teammates, siblings, or even your car. Foto’s With A Twist does not limit what you can bring in to use as props for your senior pics. The only thing Tracy asks is that you let him know in advance what you plan to bring in so he can prepare for the photo session. 

Probably the most asked question Tracy gets for Senior Pictures is "What should I wear?" Tracy's answer to this is: Wear whatever makes you You! Senior pictures should reflect your style and personality, not someone else's ideas. Of course, you should bring at least one nice outfit for your yearbook and shots for Mom, but the rest is up to you. Wear whatever you want, just try to make sure your parents will approve (nothing too inappropriate, your parents are paying for the pictures!). 

When you come in for your full photo session, Tracy will ask to see your outfits, design your photo shoot specifically for you, and guide you through it all (when to put on what). Remember, your senior session is only 2 hours long and someone else will probably be booked when your 2-hour appointment time ends. That 2-hour time slot includes outfit changes and drive times to other locations for the outside shots. If you are changing hairstyles, make sure you also allow for this. The longer you take for outfit and hairstyle changes, along with the longer time needed to get to the outside destination, the fewer pictures Tracy will be able to take. It is also very important that you arrive on time so you have your full 2 hours! If you choose the location of the outdoor photo shoot, make sure you know where you can go to change clothes, if needed. The outside portion of your photo shoot can be rescheduled if needed due to bad weather conditions. If this is the case, you can still keep your appointment time to do the studio photos. It is much easier for Tracy to reschedule an hour-long photo session than it is to reschedule a two-hour time slot. 

If your senior pics session is inside only, your session will only be one hour in length, and you will have a lot fewer photos to choose from.

What happens if your school has a designated yearbook photographer?

A lot of schools have a designated yearbook (only) photographer that every senior has to go to for their senior photo that is submitted to their school's yearbook. Did you know that you ONLY have to go to them for your yearbook photo and you can go anywhere you want to have a full portrait session? Did you also know that most of the time, the contracted company will have a set day when they come to your school to do the yearbook photos and do them for FREE or at a minimal cost? So if you don't want to have to make two separate appointments just to have senior photos taken, check with your school (or the photography company) to see if your school has a senior yearbook photo day scheduled with your designated yearbook photographer. They usually schedule these dates during the school year when you already have to be there!
