High School Senior Portraits | Swartz Portraits

Swartz Portraits' job is to enhance your style, fashion, and creativity philosophy. Going to a school-contracted senior photographer typically creates the same bubble gum portrait every other high school student has. We shoot with various lenses to get full-length, mid-length, and close-ups. We like to offer you a variety of poses for you to choose from.

You will want to bring your favorite outfits, maybe explore the world of Fine Art, and work with us to create a style that is uniquely yours. We will help you own it and be the envy of your school. We will help you create that perfect look and suggest accessories highlighting your portraits. All our clients get a list of tips on what to wear, so make sure you look it over!

We live in a beach area, and we have a few locations that are simply amazing for creating our famous sunrise portrait. You will spend the morning with hair and makeup before the sun arrives, and then we start creating your most remarkable portraits. Once we finish the sunrise, we create a few additional poses after an outfit change. Sunrise Beach portraits are the most unique images we can create because each morning has a different feel and look, making your portrait session one-of-a-kind.

What other location ideas do you have? We need to know what you think, and together, we can go scout and talk about your outfit and what you envision to tell your story. Have a unique idea for a location? Just let us know! We are happy to suggest some of our favorite places, too!

We have packages that include a personal hair stylist and makeup artist who come to you and ensure you look picture-perfect the entire portrait session. Be prepared to feel like a supermodel. If you are comfortable doing your hair and makeup, that is entirely up to you! You can also bring someone you know to do it for you, as we know you may have already established relationships with hair and beauty stylists.

Remember, senior sessions are about telling your story as you transition from high school into the real world. We want to capture your summer, fall, winter, and spring fashion stylings and tell your exciting story. Starting in August, your senior year is the perfect time to start creating your portraits. Plus, it's an ideal start to your final school year, but we can shoot them anytime throughout the year!
