senior picture ideas

Here is some more senior awesomeness... :) This beautiful lady has already graduated but I never got the chance to put her senior photos on my blog and show her off!  I started photographing her 7 years ago (I think??) at a dance studio I do photography for in SWFL. We headed to a downtown area for her portraits...I think most downtown areas are great for seniors.  Plenty of options..brick, old gates, pretty trees, and so on! I always tell my high school seniors to bring whatever props they would like, dance shoes, car, basketball... Jessica brought family fun!  Of course, I have to add some...

Welcome August! It’s hard to believe it is time for Back to School. Although I must say, I’m not quite ready for summer to go…while it is hot, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the summer outside activities with my kiddos. So for about a month now I’ve been working on getting a new website up, which is why for now when you type in www.alisonbeyerphotography.com, it comes here to my blog. So just a heads up! Bear with me while I work on it (I’m not very website tech savvy!). In the meantime, here’s some senior portraits taken of Ashley, class of 2019. This young lady was such a good sport,...

I finally got the results back from the competition I entered last month with my local photography guild back in Florida.   I’ve enjoyed being a part of the local SWFL chapter (Professional Photographers of Southwest Florida) of the PPA and FPP for the past 4 or 5 years.

It also allowed...

Find a Photographer.  First things first, you need to find the right photographer for YOU! I definitely know my style isn’t for everyone, so it is important you check around and see what you like best. Ask to see the images of an entire senior session (not just the one photo that is on display). It’s also important that you are comfortable with your photographer, someone who puts you at ease. I remember when I was having...

It's crazy we are already in full swing for our 2015 senior graduates...wow, 2015!  Time just keeps flying! Caleb graduated last year and for his senior photos we did a little variety in our location.  I love taking senior photos in a downtown/urban setting because of all the variety it provides...cool old and new buildings, pillars, water, colorful storefronts, etc.  Then to end our shoot, we went back to my studio and took a few more.  This first photo of him in his football jersey (B&W) is my favorite! Enjoy these photos as you start getting some ideas for your own senior pictures! ...
