From Pose to Print: Crafting Timeless Senior Photos

Erinn's Senior Portraits - New Milford High School, CT

Senior photos are a way to celebrate the transition from high school to the next stage of a student’s life, whether that’s college, the workforce, or another path. They serve as a visual representation of the individual’s growth and achievements during their high school years.

In addition to the suit, Erinn wore two stunning Free People dresses from the Planet Photo Style Closet, a complimentary service offered to all my senior portrait clients. The soft lilac and muted gray tones of her dresses flowed effortlessly in the gardens, creating an ethereal, editorial look. To add contrast, she switched into edgy jean shorts and platform boots, demonstrating just how much variety we can achieve in a single session. With one location, three distinct outfits, and a mix of classic and modern styling, we captured a diverse and striking senior portrait collection.

Erinn graduated from New Milford High School in the Class of 2023 and is now studying business at Bryant University. With her confidence, creativity, and drive, I have no doubt she will achieve great things.

If you’re looking for a luxury senior photography experience in Connecticut, Planet Photo specializes in creating editorial, high-end portraits that stand out.

Erinn has been part of the Planet Photo Tribe for several years, and throughout that time, we’ve created countless incredible images together. As her senior portrait session approached, I wanted to craft something truly unique—an experience that would reflect her vibrant personality and style.

For Erinn’s luxury senior portrait session, we selected Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, CT, a breathtaking location with stunning gardens, grand architecture, and coastal views. On the way, we made a special stop at a lavender farm, adding soft, dreamy tones to her collection of senior pictures. Since we had previously captured urban portraits together, this time, we embraced the natural beauty of Connecticut’s shoreline.

Originally, Erinn was scheduled to travel to San Diego for the One Collective Destination Shoot, but when COVID altered our plans, we brought bold West Coast energy to the East Coast instead. Her striking pink suit—initially chosen for California—stood out beautifully against the elegant backdrop of Harkness, proving that statement pieces always make an impact in senior portraits.

The Planet Photo Tribe is a group of high school girls (and sometimes guys) who really love having fun and being creative. We take the time to plan and style group and themed photo shoots. I get to let my creativity go crazy and they learn about being social media creators and influencers with fun images to share. If you would like to join us for our next group shoot then let me know, I would love for you to be part of the Planet Photo Tribe!
