When today’s rising high school senior has been photographed and documented with countless selfies and digital pictures taken by dozens of friends and family members’ phones over the years, it’s understandable that you might be wondering, “Are senior pictures worth it?” and “Do I really need to get senior pictures?
We all need a few great photographs of ourselves throughout our lifetimes, for the people we love but also for ourselves! It’s a visual record of our story, who we are at certain points in our life.
Senior year is unquestionably an important transitional phase of our life. Seniors stand on the precipice of adulthood and independence. Senior pictures capture who they are at this important moment, for their parents but also for their future selves and their future loved ones.
I will admit I’m biased, as a senior photographer, but yes, I do think it is worth the time, effort, and money to take senior pictures! I know how meaningful these images are, and how much more precious they will become over time.
