Equestrian girl senior grad portrait with horse on her farm

Location, location, location

Jared Burns June 26, 2024

Do you know the two biggest things senior grads fear when it comes to their portraits? They are (1) a boring, generic setting or (2) the same location every other grad chooses. Don't fret! We've got you covered with hundreds of unique location ideas! Remember, location is more than just a pretty backdrop. It should be an extension of the student's personality or part of their unique story. Ultimately, people should see the portrait setting and exclaim, "That's so Emily!" or "Everything about that screams Justin!"

 

When you hear reactions like that, you know you've chosen perfectly! Location is everything.
