4 Reasons to Book College Senior Portrait Sessions
Congratulations, you are about to enter your last semester as a college senior. Since you entered college, your life has been studying, exams, papers, grades, internships, and more studying. Now, you are so close to graduation, you can almost taste it.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. And it is bright. It is the start of your newest chapter. While it is not quite time to celebrate, it is time to think about what comes next while patting yourself on the back for getting this far.
No one talks about college senior portraits. They don't think about graduating college senior moments in the same manner they thought about high school. However, that does not mean they shouldn't think about it. There are wonderful reasons to schedule college senior portrait sessions. The reasons are as wonderful as the reasons to celebrate your achievements. Check out the top 4 reasons to book college senior portrait sessions below.
1. Your Deserve to Capture the Memories of Your First Journey as an Adult
Up until you graduated high school, you were a child. You always had a lesson to learn and adults to help you learn them. You were expected to misunderstand things in life. You were expected to need guidance and a close set of eyes watching your every turn.
However, once you enter college, you become an adult. Yes, you still had people to guide you when needed. However, their presence was not guaranteed around every turn. You were suddenly expected to know a thing or two about life or at least how to figure out those messy life situations.
And here you are, almost a college graduate. You are about to embark on your first professional career. You worked very hard to get here. Not only did you master school. You had to do it as a young adult without the proverbial safety net under your feet. You should not let these years become a distant memory. You should capture these moments before they are gone. You should cherish them and applaud how far you have come in your relatively short collegiate career as an adult.
Three portrait sessions for your senior would help ensure you capture each side of your senior and the memories you need. Each session can have its own theme. For instance, one session can capture your senior in their natural setting, whether it be outdoor, in a library, or doing an activity they love. The second session could capture your senior with their friends enjoying their senior year, possibly including a college shirt too. Finally, the last session could include your senior in their cap and gown along with a professional headshot.
Three portrait sessions provide your family with amazing memories and portraits to share.
2. You Need Professional Portraits and Headshots
Your college senior portraits can serve two purposes. First, they can help you capture memories of your time in college. However, second, they can work as professional portraits and headshots when you need them.
In today's world, your headshots and portraits matter. As you create your professional social media profiles on LinkedIn, or your bio for a company website, you need professional portraits to help show just how much of a consummate professional you truly are. Your senior portraits can help display the right image for your current and future career paths. You don't want to be known by the numerous selfies stored on your phone or social media accounts.
3. College Portraits Work Well for Invitations and Thank You Cards
When you graduate college, you want people to celebrate your achievement with you. You will likely have a party or celebration of some kind. This celebration will require invitations. Whether you send electronic invitations or hand-held invitations, your college portrait is a great addition to help personalize them.
Even more important is the personal touch of a thank you note. You can send personalized thank you cards to anyone who helped you celebrate or helped you along the path towards your goals. Adding your picture to the thank you card is a great way to personalize them.
4. You and Your Friends Can Enjoy a Portrait Session Together
The people who helped you get through college are the same people that are reaching their milestones now. Of course, your family and mentors played a large part in your current success. However, even more than them, your friends were an integral part of your in your journey.
You should take an opportunity to share a college senior portrait session with your friends. Take a moment to capture the true bond that you share. Those memories may eventually fade. However, with the help of portrait sessions, you can hold onto those memories for an entire lifetime.

Kim Drea - Hi Lisa! Would love to coffee talk but it’s hard because of being inside classroom during the day. Is there another time that would be convenient for you? My daughter is graduating from Monmouth grad school in May. She would like to do pictures with her 3 friends. I know how busy you are in May. Let’s talk when you can! Hope your’re well. Kim Drea
