Senior portraits sports edition

This one is for all my sporty seniors! I tell my seniors you can do as much or as few images representing your sport as you would like. Some seniors want to go all out and have their sport be a bigger part of their senior portraits. In this case they may choose to do two locations with one being the location where they play their sport (field, track, court, rink, etc). While others choose a location(s) they like unrelated to their sport and we incorporate it there. If you would like to go to where your sport takes place, I recommend checking to make sure it’s available on the date of your shoot.

When it comes to what to wear let’s check out some general options with my tips.

• Letter Jacket or Letter Sweater – Make sure it’s up to date with your patches and metals.
• Full uniform or jersey – Make sure you can get what you need from your coach if it’s off season and you don’t already have it.
• Formal wear like a suit or dress – I love the juxtaposition of a nice suit (guys and girls) or dress at the court, field, etc.
• Casual outfit – For those that just would like just a few images, we can have you bring your soccer ball (for example) with one of your “regular” outfits.
• School T-shirt/Sweat shirt or warm up jacket – If you don’t want to do a uniform or Letter jacket but still want some school spirit you can wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt.
• Athleisure or sports clothing – Something you might wear to practice, a workout or just when you’re around the house that has a sporty vibe.
