As a Huntsville senior photographer shooting in Downtown Huntsville and Hays Preserve are two of my favorite locations. When this Huntsville senior wanted to schedule senior portraits for both locations I was so excited! The combination of these two spots offers the urban feel of downtown and the natural beauty of Hays Preserve. I offer Huntsville senior portraits that include either one or two locations.

How to Choose Between Downtown and Hays — Or Do Both

When selecting a location in Huntsville for senior portraits there are so many beautiful options to choose from. Two of my favorite locations are downtown Huntsville or Hays Preserve. Downtown Huntsville offers several options for backgrounds to photos and all within a short walking distance from each other. One of the reasons I love shooting sessions in Downtown Huntsville is the wide variety! We can capture photos in multiple spots giving you a lot of variety in your gallery all within one location. If you are wanting more nature focused with open fields and lots of trees then Hays Preserve is the place to be. It offers wide open fields for capturing beautiful photos in the beauty nature has to offer!

What to Expect During Your Session

Once you have booked your session you will receive guidance on outfits to wear, what to bring, tips on hair, makeup, and more before your session. We will work together to personalize your senior session to highlight your personality throughout the session. Prior to your session we will be in communication regarding where to meet, timeline for your session, what the forecast is showing, and any other additional questions.

The day of your senior session we will meet at our scheduled location. First, we will review what outfits you brought for the senior portraits and establish our plan for when to change and where we will take pictures. Throughout the entire session I will guide you through poses and walk you through what to do to capture beautiful timeless senior portraits!

Booking Tips for the Perfect Senior Photo Experience

As a Huntsville senior photographer I have a few tips for booking your Huntsville senior portraits that will help to make your overall experience incredible!

• Book Early!! – The best time to book senior portraits is the summer leading up to senior year or the fall of your senior year. This time of year tends to be less busy for graduating seniors and you will have your photos back early for yearbook deadlines, graduation announcements and more! Also, senior photographers schedules get very busy the closer it gets to graduation. Booking early will give you more selection in dates that are available and the ability to schedule with your favorite photographer! Summer and fall also allows for sessions to take place later because the sunset is later in the evening, which tends to work well with graduating seniors schedules.
• Your outfits matter SO MUCH!!! – The outfits you select for your senior portraits are going to be a huge factor in your photos! I recommend sticking with pastel, neutral or jewel toned colors when selecting outfits. Avoid neon colors as they reflect back onto skin tones. I also recommend avoiding bold prints and large logos. Some outfits that photograph beautifully are jeans and blouses, long maxi style dresses, and rompers or jumpsuits. Before your session I provide more tips on selecting outfits and am available to assist with selecting outfits.
• Have fun! – Overall have fun and try not to be nervous about your senior portraits. I will guide you through poses and what to do during our entire session. If you are having fun and embracing your natural personality it will truly show throughout your photos!
