One of the best things we can do as senior photographers is to find out about our clients.  By getting to know them before their session, we can create an experience that is special to each client.

“The senior’s love and appreciation of simplicity and pretty details was showcased all throughout this shoot,” said Aubry Boonstra of Aubry Boonstra Photography in Michigan.  “We also incorporated a favorite blue vintage dress.”

What do you want this session to convey about this senior and about your senior photography style?

The best part about my job is making these seniors feel so beautiful and yet completely, uniquely themselves. I love getting to know them on a personal level so that I am able to make a connection with them that makes their senior session so memorable. That’s what it’s all about. This session was just so adorable and way. too. much. fun.

What is one tip you can share with other photographers regarding photographing seniors?

I think seniors especially need to know and be reassured that this time is all about them. Be completely open to  their suggestions and ideas. Get to know them, what do they love, what do they thrive in? Start there and then you can combine creativity with their vision and make it happen.
