Three Common Myths about Senior Photography (and why they’re untrue!)

As a senior photographer, I interact with parents and graduates on a daily basis, and I LOVE what I do. I try to listen and heed their concerns, frustrations or successes, and apply them to my business so I can best serve my seniors. Over the years, I have heard some common myths that senior or their parents have come to believe, and have helped them understand why they’re untrue. Today, I want to share three common myths, and why they’re not true of the Aubry Ramsey senior experience:

1. “Senior photos are luxury items, and I can’t afford them”

We understand that there is an investment associated with senior photos, but we believe in giving you the full value for your money, and delivering the quality we promise. We offer incredible shoot time, consultations, and a luxury experience at a price point that is competitive. Yes, the photos have a luxury feel, and you get all the perks of any elite portraiture, but you’ll also know EXACTLY what you’re paying for. No surprises, and no sticker shock at the end. If you have questions about our investment prices, our products or ordering, or any other related question, just let us know!

2) “All senior photos look the same” 

Many seniors express this concern, especially if their friends have also used me for their portraits. Of course, no teen wants to have identical photos as their peers, so we aim to give each of our clients individualized shoots. We tailor every session we do to the person we are working with, hand-selecting locations and designing poses to suit them and their interests and passion. You’ll never have to worry about cookie-cutter poses or ideas, because we work hard to ensure every senior client feels confident and like the standout they are.

3) “Senior photos will just add stress to my plate”

Your senior year is an unforgettable time, and it’s also one that’s filled with emotions, important moments, deadlines, and a to-do list that’s about a mile long. Whether you’re the parent or the graduate, doing a senior session can feel like just another thing to mark off your list. That’s why our goal is always a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere that gives you lifelong memories, instead of more unwanted stress. We start with personalized consults, scouted locations, and more, and we walk besides you every step of the way to make sure you are never left floundering during such a busy time in your life. 

If you’ve been concerned by these same thoughts, know that we would love to share why our experience truly is top-notch. We would absolutely be honored to capture this irreplaceable time in your life, and continue breaking down ALL these myths!
