For a senior in high school who is about to graduate and make the exciting transition to college, there are a multitude of things to do during senior year. One thing that most seniors must do is take senior pictures. These can be used for the school yearbook, school applications, rush applications, and as inserts in graduation invitations.

For seniors, taking these special pictures allows you a chance to shine. Whether you are taking the pictures with a friend or a professional photographer, you are given the opportunity to show your true self to the camera. Thus, many seniors choose to take pictures while posing with an object that has significant meaning to them. For example, a person who was very involved with track may opt to pose with their track shoes.

In addition to the fun, prop photography, seniors may decide to take more formal portraits as well. Photographers will often want to take pictures of a person smiling, then looking serious. They may request a person to wear a certain color or cut of shirt to help formalize the portrait. Sometimes, a girl may choose to wear her prom dress so that she can have a portrait of her in the special dress.

Before you take your senior picture, you should think about poses that you might want, as well as outfits or props that you might need. This can help you in communicating with your photographer, whether professional or amateur, about what exactly you want your pictures to look like.

A senior picture can be a treasured memento of a person's transition to college and adulthood. Often, parents and other family members want to display the photograph due to their love and pride in the person. A great idea for showing off your child is to have his or her senior picture made into a canvas photo and display it as a work of art.
