Senior Portraits Guide for Guys

Classic, Confident, and Actually Enjoyable!

Senior year is big. And for families with boys, you want senior portraits that feel elevated, timeless, and true to who he is—without being stiff or overdone.

These photos aren’t just for announcements or yearbooks. They’re for you, for him, and for the future. A good senior portrait captures a turning point: the last year of high school, the edge of independence. It’s a moment worth remembering, and remembering well.

Make It Comfortable, Not Cringey

Senior guys don’t want a big production—and we don’t give them one. Sessions are laid-back, quick-moving, and focused on natural poses that feel confident, not forced. We talk, we walk, we shoot. No fake smiles. Just solid photos.

What to Wear: Keep It Sharp, Keep It Him

Wardrobe can make or break the shoot. Here’s how to nail it:

•Smart casual wins. Think tailored jeans or chinos, button-downs, quarter-zips, henleys. A sport coat or sweater adds polish without going full formal.

•Stick to solids and neutrals. Navy, charcoal, white, forest green—these always look clean on camera. Avoid neon, loud patterns, and big brand logos.

•Bring options. One dressier look, one more relaxed, one wild card! We’ll shoot them all.

•Layering works. Jackets, vests, or over-shirts create depth and variety without needing a full outfit change.

•Add personal details. A varsity jacket, watch, favorite boots, or something tied to his sport or interest makes it more “him.”

The Right Setting For Senior Guys

We shoot on or near campus, or choose scenic Litchfield and Fairfield County locations with personality:

•Kent Falls and Macedonia Brook – classic New England backdrops

•Downtown Kent, New Preston or Litchfield – picture book New England towns

•Fairfield Hills in Newtown – brick, iron, and architectural texture

•School grounds – especially for seniors who want a tie to their campus

•Private locations – if your family has a home in the area, we can come to you
