Senior portraits – are they really necessary?
Let's dive in and see why they're not a requirement, but why it’s a good idea to budget for some, anyway!
1. It's Your Time Capsule: Senior portraits are like time-travel machines. They zap you back to those days when you owned the field, laughed in the hallways, and stood on the edge of something big. Not mandatory, sure, but a fun way to reminisce years down the road (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything. 😜)
2. Your Story, Your Way: No one says your senior pics have to be stiff or formal. Whether you're a beach vibes kinda person or a downtown dreamer, senior portraits let you tell your story exactly how you want to remember it!
3. Share the Love: Senior portraits aren't just for you; they're for the fam, the friends, and everyone who's been on this ride with you. Grandma deserves a peek at the cap and gown, and your besties want a keepsake to hang on their mirror at college (so pro-tip, bring them along for a couple of photos!).
4. Flexibility at Its Finest: There's no rule saying you have to wear that cap and gown. You can rock your senior pics in whatever style makes you feel unstoppable. Casual, glam, or a mix of both – the choice is yours! But, look how cute cap and gown photos can be!
5. Because Memories Fade, but Photos Don't: It sounds cliche, but life happens fast and senior year is no exception. Senior portraits are your insurance policy against the natural fade of memories. They're proof that you conquered high school like a boss.
6. The Gift of Reflection: Senior portraits are a gift to your future self. Imagine stumbling upon these gems a decade from now, surrounded by your achievements and adventures. Plus, it’s fun to look back on the fashion of the year!
