THE senior EXPERIENCE

My daughter's senior photos are absolutely STUNNING. Heleyna is a total pro – she didn't just show up and snap some pics. She guided us through the whole process, from picking the perfect "golden hour" time to suggesting the most magical location ever: Wild Hearts Farm! The photos are beyond gorgeous; they're like something out of a magazine. Heleyna made the entire experience so fun and easy, and the results speak for themselves. Don't settle for ordinary senior photos. Go with Heleyna Holmes Photography and get some extraordinary ones! You won't regret it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The photos are beyond gorgeous!

The summer before or early fall of your senior year is generally the best time to schedule senior photos. This timeframe offers several advantages, including the pleasant weather typically found during those seasons, avoiding the extremes of mid-summer heat and the unpredictable nature of late fall or winter. Additionally, many schools have yearbook photo deadlines in the fall, making it crucial to get your photos done early to meet those requirements. Finally, summer often provides a less hectic schedule for students, with fewer school commitments and extracurricular activities, making it easier to schedule a photoshoot and enjoy the experience.



WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

Choosing the right attire for your senior photos is an important part of capturing this milestone. The most impactful advice is to select clothing that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and truly reflects your personality. Consider showcasing your interests and passions through your wardrobe choices. Whether it's a favorite band t-shirt layered under a stylish jacket, a dress that makes you feel elegant, or athletic wear that speaks to your active lifestyle, aim for outfits that allow your inner light to shine. Ultimately, the goal is to wear something that makes you feel like you and allows your genuine self to be captured in your photos.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

Your senior photo location should be as unique as you are! It's totally up to you where we shoot, and I'm happy to travel anywhere within 30 miles of Seattle to make it happen. What places resonate with you? Maybe it's the bustling Pike Place Market where you grabbed coffee with friends, the serene shores of Discovery Park where you spent countless afternoons, or the vibrant murals of Capitol Hill that reflect your artistic spirit. Choosing a location that holds meaning for you, whether it's a place you frequented during your senior year or a spot that evokes cherished childhood memories, will add an extra layer of depth and authenticity to your photos. Let's brainstorm together and find that perfect backdrop that tells your story!

what location should i choose?

Booking your senior photo session about 6 months before your yearbook deadline is a smart move. As a highly sought-after photographer, my schedule tends to fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons like summer and fall. Booking early is essential to secure your preferred date and time. This timeframe offers several advantages: It gives you the best chance of getting on my calendar, provides flexibility to reschedule if needed due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, and allows you to relax knowing your photos are scheduled, reducing stress and letting you focus on other senior year activities.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?

Yes, I do travel for senior photos! While I frequently photograph in the Seattle area, I also offer destination sessions in locations like Nevada, Arizona, and Illinois. These travel sessions are available throughout the year. Please message me for availability and pricing for travel sessions.
