Hiring A Photographer For Your Child

By Stacey Burt


You have a child who is getting ready to graduate from high school. The one task that still must be completed before her graduation is having her senior pictures taken and there are many professionals in Green Bay WI that would love to take over this task for you. Every photographer will have his own style and technique so choose the professional who will take the type of photographs you have envisioned for your child.

Have your child choose several different outfits for the shoot. She will want to have both casual and formal photos for her graduating portfolio. Include casual wear, formal and semi formal clothing in the outfits to be worn. If full-length photos are to be taken, shoes are important also. Don't forget accent pieces such as hair accessories and jewelry. You may wish to have her hair done for the more formal shots first and then allow it to go back to its natural state for the less casual photos.

You can even add props for more pizazz. Choose the articles and background items that reflect her interests. Ask her to select and bring items that symbolize the activities she is in at school. If she is sports-minded, a basketball, tennis racket or golf club will work perfectly. A cheerleader can dress in her cheer outfit and bring along her pom-poms and megaphone.

Bring along an individual who can assist with makeup. This will help hide flaws and bring out the very best features of your teenager. She will feel much more attractive and confident and the final proofs will show it.

You want the photos to be as natural as possible so it is important to convey this to the photographer. Give this professional some background as to your daughter's personality and interests so he will have a good idea of what photos will highlight her in the most positive manner. Ask him to take a few black and white and sepia photos for special effect.

Explain to this professional how you wish to have photos that show the student's real interests and true personality. You are seeking a true and very accurate record of her last year in high school.

And don't forget to have the photographer take those impromptu shots when the student isn't looking. Sometimes catching her unawares will produce the most authentic and meaningful photos.

If you have friends and relatives from out of town, choose a pose that reflects where you live. The green background of this state during the summer months or the snowy landscape during the winter will make an excellent backdrop for the photographs. School colors can also be featured for backgrounds in formal photos.

The last year of high school is so very important and this is why taking these photos is so appropriate. Be sure the photographer takes great care in taking the photos to produce a record of your teen's history that can be viewed for many years to come.
