What to expect at a Shared Senior Photo Session | Austin Senior Photographer

What is included in a Shared Senior Session?
- This package can be shared by siblings, couples or best friends. You’ll decide on one location, date and time. Then you have 1 1/2 hours of time to share. It can be used by either High School or College Graduating Seniors.
- Expect about 80% solo images and 20% shared images (though this ratio can vary depending on your preference). For these two, they had just had a Family Photo Session back in the fall, so it was more like 95% solo shots and 5% shared images).
- Each Senior still gets up to three outfits and is encouraged to bring props that show their high school interests and college plans.
If you’d also like to have a Shared Senior photo session, here are my tips below:
- SCHEDULE: Start early with planning which date and time will work best for both of you.Â
- OUTFITS: Since you’ll be together in some of the images, plan on the same level of dressiness for those shared photos.Â
- PACING:Â When one Senior is changing outfits, I’ll focus on solo shots of the other Senior (and vice versa).
- WHAT TO BRING: It’s optional, but some prop ideas are listed HERE for Seniors.Â

She’ll help you feel relaxed and confident during your session. And you’ll have a smile on your face after your session once you see your new photos.
