- A senior portraits behind the scenes and senior portrait photography session. In this behind the scenes high school senior photography session I will be taking picture of my niece Madison. She wanted her senior session to include water or a river. I was happy to find her the perfect location! I chose a river because that is where her and her high school friends love to hang out on the weekends. Take notice in this video of the posing for high school seniors. It’s a little different than posing a younger teenager and not quite the same as posing an adult. You want to make sure that the senior posing is not too childish and not too grown up. I also had some unique senior portrait ideas that I wanted to try out.
Some tips I’ve learned photographing high school seniors is to ask they have anything about them physically that they are self conscious about or that they would love to highlight. It’s easy to forget the older we get how important these things were as a teenager in High school. Senior year is a huge milestone and we want to make sure that we give these high school seniors portraits they want to share with their senior class and that they are proud of. This helps with repeat business as well as hopefully capturing more of the high school seniors they are going to school with.
When capturing high school senior portraits it’s important to capture photos of them in cap and gown as well as capture portraits of the senior in current fashion trends they are following. This way the senior session has photos for the High school senior invitations which parents will love as well as portraits the senior will want to share online.
When capturing high school senior portraits we find it helps to have our own collection of caps and gowns for our senior sessions. A lot of times the high schools require the seniors to order the gowns late in the year Through a service they provide and the graduation gowns don’t arrive till a few weeks before graduation. To ensure they have plenty of time for portraits we try to keep several of the most common colors of high school graduation caps and gowns in our collection
Madison had several outfits for her senior session planned out and I tried to incorporate all of them. It was important to me to give her the best possible senior portrait session because it means a lot to me to see her grow up in to a wonderful young lady. As her high school senior year approached, we began to plan her portrait session out. To have a great senior session planning is key. We went over locations ideas, outfits choices, and of course I knew Madison would bring it with the makeup.
I normally don’t do senior portrait photography since I don’t market for it, but since several of nieces and cousins have been graduating high school this year, I have been doing more of it this year. What I find interesting about senior portrait sessions is is how unique this time of their life is. They are just graduating high school and heading to college. They are just now becoming adults and entering the real world. That is what can make senior portrait photography difficult at times. The photographer must find the balance between childhood and adulthood. High school seniors are definitely not children anymore but the have yet to go through the trails of being an adult. Finding that middle ground is the key to capturing great senior portraits.
The equipment used to photograph this senior photoshoot was the Sony A7iii, the sigma 50mm 1.4 art and the Canon 70-200mm. This behind the scenes video was shot using natural light with the Sony A7iii, kit lens, and rode wireless go.

I wanted to be a photographer when I was younger and even thou I am not it still amazes me how much detail someone can capture. Lovely pictures
SongofAzabel so true. It’s amazing how two people can capture a moment completely different or everyone in one place can take away an entirely different perspective. That’s what makes it so great!
These are stunning. Looks like the Guadalupe River. So unique.
LLG Girls it does look like the Guadalupe river. I never noticed.
Your niece is beautiful..
She really is.
That cool doing a photo shoot for family. Wow though really nice shots and such beautiful scenery.
She looked absolutely lovely- what a great vid showing behind the scenes.
Hamilam TV she’s very special to me. So emotional with this session.

Delta DroneDude awesome I’m glad it was helpful. Make sure and tag us if you post the pictures to Instagram. We would love to see the pictures 😀
Such good shots. I find shooting outside super challenging. I'm always fighting with weather conditions (too much sun, wind etc). Great shoot.
Kimberly Caines so true being at the mercy of the elements can sometimes be a challenge. In this session we had to start a little later than planned so I was fighting the sun setting and in the thick of the wooded area made it a little darker than I would have preferred. Its part of the challenge of being prepared for any scenario. :)
Great pictures :-)
nice pictures, you're good
Very beautiful. Caught my eye. Great photography.
Oh I love some of these poses, you are amazing at what you do I really enjoyed this video and your niece is beautiful 😊🧡

Tukka Tot my equipment is insured so I try not to think about it lol but it can be a little scary.
Great video!
Thank you.
It’s really interesting to watch you give direction for poses followed with the shot. It’s dope af
Sal Solis thanks for the feedback Sal. It’s something we have been working on adding into the videos. Takes a little more times in the editing process, but we were hoping it would help improve the videos.

Where is this place? Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes
Jonn frankcoiz Villafranca I believe this is the Medina River in Texas. Thanks for watching.
Omg Wow! What river is this?
Jhardawne Photography I don’t remember off the top of my head. It’s outside of San Antonio.
I am very thankful that I found your video. A lot of great ideas and cool behind the scenes. But I have a question you said that you were shooting with the Sony camera but you had a canon 70 to 200 lens. How do you shoot a cannon lens on a Sony camera? Thank you
Nancyhall18 this is a great question! I use a Sigma MC-11 lens adapter. I do have native Sony lenses too. There are some canon lens though that I prefer. Using the adapter makes it very convenient. That’s one of the things I love about the Sony system, there are adapters for most mounts out there. Even old vintage mounts. I’m glad the video was helpful to you.
Expose The Heart Wow thank you for taking the time to answer me. Does that adapter have any affect on the focus ability? I am very intrigued as I was a Canon shooter and have many lenses but hardly any Sony lenses
Nancyhall18 I would say the lenses are slightly slower to focus, but not any less accurate. It makes little difference while doing portraits for me. In the a7iii, all the focus modes have worked for me as well.
Miy bonitas fotos miro k usaste el lente 10-200 de canon que adaptador usas para montarle a la sony a7III
ruben hijar gracias! sigma mc-11
Just wondering if the A7III works well with canon lenses....Did you have any focusing issues or any issues at all using both the canon and sigma lenses? Great video!!!!
Whitehouse Productions we don’t notice any issues at all. All focusing functions work fine. Including eye auto focus.
Expose The Heart good to know. I have always used canon. Trying to decide if I should upgrade to the 5D iv from my III OR move to Sony because I also shoot video. I own quite a few canon L lenses and was afraid they wouldn’t work. Thank you so much for the quick reply. :-)
No problem we have been super happy with the A7iii and canon lenses. We have two body and they work fine on both.
I do not use the metabone adapter. I am using the Sigma MC-11 Adapter and have not issues focusing.
I am shooting my first paying photoshoot this weekend and this helped me a lot with learning some poses for the model and it encouraged me so thank you !!! AWESOME VIDEO BY THE WAY 😆
Roberto Macias awesome glad you were able to learn something. Good luck on your shoot. Tag us on you pictures on Instagram so we can see how your shoot turned out. ✌🏼
I loved awweee man Maddy you came out so beautiful y’all are growing up too fast :( @makeupbymemy
What kind of lens?
Rachel Vargo pictures were taken with either a 50mm or 70-200
