A graduation is such a major accomplishment. And having graduation portraits is a lovely way to record this momentous event and to celebrate!

A Special Senior Comes to NYC - NYC Portrait Photographer

I love when families come to NYC and want to celebrate their visit in a special way. That’s what this North Carolina family did recently. Way back when, these parents lived here for a number of years when they started out in their careers. Years later as they raised their kids in the South, they passed on their love for the Big Apple to their children. Now, with their graduating Senior…New York City was calling them back. It was the only destination they envisioned for their son - for his special Senior Portraits. We certainly hit it out of the park - these senior and family portraits are EPIC. And I am so honored that I was the one to record all the love and happiness.

Why are Senior Portraits for High School Graduates So Important - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

In most parts of the country, seniors celebrate this graduation milestone by having their Senior Portraits taken. It is a tradition year after year with each passing graduating class. Its a perfect way to memorialize this transition from high school teenager into young adult. 

More than ever, it is important because in such an isolating year dominated by all things Covid, Senior Portraits are the best way to document a graduating senior’s journey so far and to celebrate it. It is the best time of their life to capture their youthful innocence and their unique personality. This portrait session also gives the senior dedicated time to feel special while the photo experience and portraits will increase their self-esteem and confidence.

The senior and their family will be able to look back on these important portraits with pride as they see visual evidence of how significant they were at this pivotal moment in their lives.
