Rochester NY Senior Pictures: Hannah and Sarah

A senior portrait session for twins = wow! They’re a little longer sessions, but that’s essential in order to bring out two different personalities in senior pictures.

Thankfully, Sarah and Hannah from Fairport High School both liked the idea of using Cobbs Hill as the location for their senior pictures. We played in the leaves, used the graffiti art on the water tower and took advantage of the architecture at the top of the reservoir.

Sarah showed off her strong personality in every outfit she rocked. Hannah’s a black belt in karate, and also took us to the track where she runs cross country.

Together, they are a great combination, and sure to be unstoppable at whatever lies ahead in their future. Congratulations Hannah and Sarah!

Fairport NY Senior Pictures: Nolan, Class of 2022

It was a true honor being asked to photograph Nolan’s senior pictures. He’s a Senior at Fairport High School, and I’ve been standing next to him on the line for years, practicing archery. So naturally, the range was one of our destinations for his senior session!

I also got to see a different side of Nolan when he demonstrated his drum skills. How unique are these senior pictures?

If you know him, you know that he is one of the nicest guys you will meet! I was lucky enough to photograph the rest of his family too at a separate family portrait session… so keep your eyes peeled for that post!

Congrats Nolan!

Fairport NY Senior Pictures: Class of 2022, Alex

I can’t tell you how many times I have driven by this horse farm on Turk Hill Road, but Alex is the first high school senior to bring me there for her Fairport senior pictures.

The summer evening at golden hour could not have been more picturesque. We photographed Alex with her favorite horse, and her dog. She rocked a gorgeous dress, cowboy boots and even camo for her senior pictures!

I remember getting to the end of her senior portrait session and not wanting to leave! What’s one more shot when it’s a perfect summer evening?

It was so great getting to know you Alex, congrats!

Fairport NY Senior Pictures: Alicia, Class of 2022

Alicia has to be one of the sweetest high school seniors I have ever worked with on senior pictures.

She’s always up for anything, down to earth, and multitalented too! For her senior pictures at the Webster Arboretum, she rocked everything from her field hockey pinny to her prom dress. But don’t let those kind eyes fool you, from what I understand, she is pretty fierce on the field at Fairport High School!

Thanks for a fun night capturing your senior portraits, Alicia, and cheers to what’s next!

High School Senior Model Session

Molly's Inspired Senior Portraits in Fairport NY

Non-traditional senior pictures that were outside the normal box, this senior portrait session was really unique!

Molly brought a strawberry dress and her personal vibe to this Fairport senior session. As we worked together, it really felt more like we were creating art rather than senior portraits.

I think I’ll let her Senior pictures do the rest of the talking!

Congratulations Molly, and thanks for trusting Lori and Erin Photography with your vision!

Four Tips for Great Senior Pictures in Rochester NY

Since our high school senior portraits are coming up quick, we thought it might help if we offered up a few tips for some great senior pictures. After all, these photos will live on the pages of the high school yearbook and on your walls for years to come. The experience you have should be fun, memorable and unique!

So here's a few tips to get you thinking...

1) Clothing - Do your best to avoid clothing with words, stripes and plaids. Solid colors tend to photograph much better, especially in a busy background like a park or among colorful flowers. Make sure you're comfortable in your choices, and that they are flattering to you. If there's a part of you that you're self-conscious about, like your arms - simple solution, wear sleeves! Be comfortable in your clothes, so that it shows in your photographs! Also, keep your jewelry simple so it doesn't distract from what we're really capturing - you!

If you have questions on what to wear, bring a variety of options - from dressy to casual! We can help you pick the right outfit for the right setting.

2) Makeup - Ladies, don't feel like this is an opportunity to layer on the makeup. We want the natural you, not someone that no one will recognize! Your makeup should only be slightly heavier than usual. And please...don't use sparkles, they only make you look shiny in all the wrong places. Don't worry too much about blemishes either, we have ways to help diminish those!

3) Shaving - Guys, unless you're into the bearded look, shave prior to the session to avoid unwanted stubble. If you're face gets irritated easily, leave enough time for it to return to normal. Plan ahead!

4) Props, pets and activities - Here's the fun part. What is it that makes you, you? Do you have a cat, dog or pet iguana to include? We're game, just make sure you bring treats for motivation, and someone to keep watch over Fluffy the Lizard while he's not in the photographs.

We encourage you to bring items that reveal your personality and hobbies. For example, an instrument, sporting equipment, vehicle, collectible, or whatever it is you enjoy.

Most important of all - this should be a memorable experience, so have fun!

Fairport High School Senior Photos: Rena

People tell her she has an amazing smile and gorgeous eyes. They're not wrong. Rena's also super fun to be around, creative and has a beautiful soul.

Her senior portrait session had a little bit of everything! We did a combination of urban and rural, to show multiple sides of her personality. We even included Tripp, the family dog in some images, and also photographed a great, three generations portrait with mom and grandma!

We had a really nice evening, despite the wind, and Rena just rocked the whole shoot. I love the colors and expressions, and man was this fun! Leave Rena some love in the comments if you enjoy these images as much as we do.  :)

Fairport High School Senior Pictures: Kyle

Kyle has many sides, but one great personality - easy going and fun. He breezed through his senior portrait session with ease and even a little goofing off - because, who doesn't want to show off their best Heisman trophy pose whenever possible, right?

What I love about our seniors, is how involved they are in their community and their school. It provides so many awesome options for senior pictures. We covered everything from Kyle's Eagle Scout project at the Fairport food bank, to his signature bow tie look, and even got a little rugby action involved.

Oh, and by the way, a high school senior session with us is not complete until Mom gets in at least one photo in too. LOVE IT!
