High School Senior Portraits

I’m sure you’ve heard horror stories about how their senior portrait photographer made someone pose in some weird way. We’ve heard them too. Well, we do things a little differently at StudioBlu Photography. (Heck, we wouldn’t want you to make the same mistakes they did.)

At StudioBlu, we’ll listen to your ideas and strategize. Then together we’ll come up with a plan. Our goal will be to create portraits that really show what you are all about. For example, we can photograph you with your athletic gear, your car or truck, your pets or your musical instrument. Wanna climb a big rock and look down. Go for it! In fact, you name it and we’ll take your picture with it!

While there are some advantages to “factory/mall studios” (they are usually pretty cheap), the ability to express your individuality is not one of their strong points. Because they are in the business of moving a lot of people through the studio in a short amount of time, they often tend to photograph subjects in the exact same pose, using the exact same props. But you’re not everyone, are you?

Are we crazy? A little. But here is our reasoning: If you're having fun during your session, your smile is going to be natural and then everyone is going to see it. So, how much?

Senior Portraits - $100 sitting fee with a minimum print order of $100
Yes, we do classic head and shoulder portraits with our studio backgrounds. It’s perfect for the yearbook. We’ll take a bunch of shots and narrow the choice down 12-20 images for you to pick from.

Custom Senior Portraits - $200 sitting fee with a print order of $200
No stuffy studio - your session will be held at your favorite locations. Tell us about your ideas and we’ll work with you to create portraits that really show your style. Up to two-hour photography session. Again, we’ll narrow the photos down to 12-20.

All of the selected photos will be uploaded to a private website for you to order. They are then mailed to your house in about a week. Questions? Pick up the phone or drop us an email. We’ll get back to you with answers.
