You all know the standard senior photo poses. Leaned against a tree, close up of your face and of course near water. Everyone has these kinds of pictures and yes they are gorgeous! But… what if I told you there are some poses you didn’t even know you needed? I‘m here to highlight the poses that most seniors don’t think of and honestly they usually feel a little silly doing. But then when they look at the end result the pictures are breathtaking. So, if you trust me… keep reading then see if some of these poses are something you’d want for you senior picture experience! 1. In the water: Most people get their pictures taken by the water. Water is so timeless and makes any picture look amazing. It sparkles, creates movement and compliments any outfit choice you pick. But have you ever thought of taking a picture in the water? It might seem crazy but it takes water pictures to the next level. You have to be ok with your outfits getting wet so it’s best to take these pictures last. And you have to be relaxed and embrace the weirdness of it. Some girls are uncomfortable in the water and that’s totally ok but if you’re willing to try… you won’t be disappointed. Some girls decide to just stand in the water, some girls decide to sit by it and put their feet in. I’ve had some girls even go as far as to lay in the water. No matter your comfort level, this is one pose idea I would definitely recommend. 2. Laying down… backwards: Now hear me out on this… I’m sure you’re saying what the heck are you talking about? I’m talking about pictures with you laying down and I’m photographing your face upside down. Weird right? But trust me when I say these pictures turn out beautifully. Every time I tell clients I want to take pictures like this they all kind of giggle. They aren’t sure what to think but it never fails that these are pictures that are always ordered. I like these pictures because they’re so unique, beautiful and timeless. All characteristics you want in your senior pictures wrapped into one photograph. So if you’re getting your senior pictures done and I’m taking your pictures upside down, don’t fret! You’ll be so happy with the result. 3. Mother, Daughter: Here is the thing… senior pictures are about you and I definitely want to highlight all you’ve accomplished on this day. But what if I said, something you’ll definitely want that you probably haven’t thought of is mother, daughter pictures. Your mom has been the person for you since the day you were born. She’s your biggest cheerleader, greatest advocate and the person who loves you the most. Document that through mother, daughter portraits. Trust me, these pictures are something you will hold onto and treasure forever. Your mom will also treasure those pictures forever. When you book with me, all VIP seniors get a complimentary mother, daughter portrait session scheduled at a later date. Take advantage of that and embrace the day with your mother. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. Tell me in the comments which pose you need to have that you never knew you needed? Hard to choose just one huh?

I’m still not over Taylor Swift being in Denver. I’m so sad I couldn’t be at the concert and for the last couple weeks I’ve been having my own concert at home. And let’s talk about all the videos on Instagram!! So in order to continue on my Taylor Swift obsession lately, I thought let’s make this blog a tribute to Taylor Swift. I want to talk about senior pictures, but Eras edition. So… in true Taylor fashion… Are you ready for it? DebutWho doesn’t love the debut? Plus… let’s talk about all of the outfit choices you could pick if you wanted to mimic the debut album vibe for your senior pictures. I love the idea of curls in your hair or a sweet white dress with boots. Take your photos during golden hour and you can be in Taylor Swift debut album heaven. What do you think? I think whatever you choose to wear, you’ll Stay Beautiful if you go with this era for your senior pictures. FearlessThe Fearless era is iconic in my mind. So channeling this era in your senior pictures, might have you looking more bold. I’m thinking yellows, glitter or even romantic… Love Story anyone? Even if you can’t find an outfit that screams the Fearless era, you could even get that same romantic vibe from the scenery. Golden hour would be perfect for this era. Speak nowIf someone were to ask me what my favorite era was I’d have to say Speak Now. It’s magical… every song is amazing and there are so many outfits you could wear to have the same feeling Speak Now brings. Purple is what comes to mind and what is more magical than our purple parachute dress? If you are a Swifty and want to mimic Taylor’s Speak Now era you have to have that parachute dress. All VIP seniors have access to the parachute dresses so be sure you sign up as a VIP ☺️ redI feel like this is when Taylor Swift started to get a little edgier… and I think red is the perfect color when it comes to edginess. Be sure you have the hat if you want, red lipstick, and maybe go vintage. If that’s not your style but you still want Taylor Swift in your senior pictures, opt for a red dress. An homage to a great era but making it your own is exactly what a cute red dress would do. I think Red is a perfect era for seniors about to embark on their next adventure. Red for Taylor Swift is when she started to figure out her sound and adulthood. So are you… on your way to adulthood and figuring things out as you go. Your path might be Treacherous but it will be worth it! I promise. 1989This era is Taylor’s move to pop completely. So if this is the era you’re really wanting in your senior pictures step away from the cow girl boots and cute sundresses. Think of crop tops and more fitted clothes. I think of this era as something fun too! Jeans, crop tops, tennis shoes… dancing around. All of these you can incorporate in your senior pictures and have the same vibe as this Taylor Swift era. reputationIf you want edgy, then this is for you. If you’re someone who wants a little more sass in their senior pictures then I would look to this era for inspiration. Leather, black, glitter, deep reds. All of these colors and textures will help you to create a beautiful but also feisty style that perfectly compliments the Reputation era. A word of caution if you are going to go the Reputation era vibe for your senior pictures.. make sure you are comfortable. If you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable because it’s truly not you then maybe choose another one or modify it. You don’t want to be uncomfortable in your senior pictures. They wont’ turn out the way you hope and I want you to love your pictures! loverWhen I think of the Lover era, I think of pink and pastels. When I think of pink and pastels the first thing I think of- again is our pink parachute dress. Like I said in the Speak Now era, the parachute dress is magical just like this era. I love the pink parachute dress. Not only is it stunning but it is the original Sarah Lindsay Parachute dress. VIP seniors have access to this beautiful dress and I think it gives off Taylor Swift vibes like crazy. Hurry and schedule as a VIP before spots run out! folklore/EvermoreWhen it comes to pop-folk this is the era that is the epitome of pop-folk. Taylor Swift graced us with this era during COVID and I love the indie forest vibe of this era. I did group Folklore and Evermore together because they’re both so similar and they both came out so close together. The good thing about this era is living in Colorado, we can definitely get this look just by going to the mountains for your senior pictures. Add in a plaid shirt or an oversized sweater and cuffed jeans and you’ve got the perfect indie vibe for your senior pictures. I think accessories help too. Hats, scarves, glasses… all of these accessories add to the folklore feeling but will also be timeless for years to come. midnightsI don’t know much about this era because it’s still so new and let’s be honest… I grew up listening to the older Taylor Swift music. But I love that Midnights is an album that takes the best of all her other albums and puts it into one. So if you want to channel Midnights, pick the era you love the most and go all out. Add a splash of deep blue to your outfit or some darker glitter and you can combine Midnights with another era. I think this take on Taylor Swift will give you a modern looking vibe to your senior pictures and you will definitely be able to make this era your own. I’d love to take your senior pictures!! Be sure you reach out sooner than not because spots are filling quickly. I’d love to talk with you and get to know you more. Click the button to get started. Before you do that, be sure you let me know in the comments what era of Taylor Swift you’d want to have for you senior pictures.

When you take your senior photos, I have something important to tell you. You deserve to feel beautiful, confident and relaxed during the day. I know you might think you don’t feel that way but I’m telling you… If you feel those things, your pictures will be more beautiful than you could have ever expected. Some of you might not know how to feel that way or some of you might be nervous to feel that way. No matter what though, I really want you to truly believe that you deserve to feel amazing on the day of your senior pictures. I want to help get you there!! First thing is first… You deserve to feel beautiful. You’re most beautiful. This day is an exciting day and is a culmination of all you have achieved the past four years and more. So you deserve to feel beautiful. But what things can happen that make you feel less than beautiful? Hair and makeup is a big piece to the puzzle that can make or break your senior pictures. Did you know that makeup appears lighter in pictures? For this reason, I would always suggest that you don’t do your own makeup. I would always be sure you find a trusted and vetted makeup artist. These people would be sure that you don’t look pale or like an orange lollipop in your pictures. They will make you look natural and beautiful. Another thing that might limit you from feeling beautiful is the support people you bring. This topic is always a little sensitive but remember, the people you bring is truly your choice and only your choice. Let’s just imagine this scenario. You have beautiful hair and makeup. You are excited for the day, then you put on the outfit you’ve been dying to wear. Then, out of the blue, a family member or friend says something snarky about the outfit. Or they make a face of disapproval. I don’t think you will be feeling you’re most beautiful in that situation. All that is to say, be sure you surround yourself with supportive, kind and trusted people during your photo shoot. Those people will be the people who make you smile and feel beautiful. Those people are the ones you want close. Think about who you want as your support people wisely. Confidence. We’ve all had moments in life where we feel it and other moments when we don’t. The day of your senior photo shoot is a day you really want to feel it. You might be a little nervous going into your senior pictures because you want those pictures to turn out perfectly. Here is the single thing that can make or break your confidence during your senior pictures. Your photographer. Your photographer should know how to bring out your natural smile. They should know how to pose you, what to say during the photo shoot, and they should know the best ways to make you laugh. Trust me, there are photographers out there who do not know how to do any of these things. Some photographers won’t know how to pose you and they may not know the words to help guide you through a session. I can tell you that Jessica and I combined have 20 years of experience posing clients and pumping them up to feel their absolute best. You know that feeling when the world just melts away. Everything is working the way it should and you are cool as a cucumber? That’s the feeling of being relaxed. When you take your senior pictures, the more relaxed you can be the better your pictures will turn out. So what are ways you can feel more relaxed? My suggestion is think of ways to help you feel relaxed before, during and after your pictures. There is so much going on and so much to plan and organize it’s best to have strategies to keep you calm. That’s where I come in. At Sarah Lindsay Photography, I take care of everything. I help you plan, choose outfits, stay calm and then I also take care of the artwork after. I do it all so you don’t have to worry about a thing. The more relaxed you can be the better your pictures will be. I want to help you and I want to give you an experience of a lifetime. Reach out, chat! Let’s get you on the calendar. Spots are filling up quickly so be sure you reach out today.
