Graduation Portraits – The Lifelong Value of High School Senior Pictures

by eriewed | Mar 3, 2021 | PHOTOGRAPHY, Portrait Photographers Blog, Senior Pictures Photographers Blog

Graduation Portraits – Senior Picture Photography

Graduating high school is no easy feat, and it’s certainly a cause for celebration.

The accomplishment of graduating from high school means overcoming the potential negative impacts of fewer employment opportunities and lower income. What’s more, only about 88% of people who attend high school make it to graduation. So, if your student has made it all the way to the end, why not give it the recognition it deserves?

Graduation portraits are the perfect way to capture one of the most important moments in your young adult’s life. They might be in a rush to move on to the next phase, but they’ll be grateful to have something to look back on.

Keep reading to learn how graduation portraits and senior pictures by Erie Photography help immortalize the lifelong memories made in high school.

Becoming the Person They Will Be

The end of high school means the beginning of the rest of your life. The classes you take, the friends you hold close, and the teachers that inspired you will all become the little pieces of what you grow up to be. The graduation procession is like a metaphor for taking the next steps in your life.

While your student may not realize this now, they’ll be sure to treasure the memories down the road. Graduation portraits will capture them as they are now, giving them something they can always look back on. Just one look at their portrait will bring.

It’s essential that your student not only takes Senior Portraits, but knows How To Prepare for their session. You can find helpful Tips on What To Wear and Where to Take Your Senior Pictures in some of our other blogs.

Capturing the Milestone

Graduating high school is one of life’s biggest milestones, and it deserves a proper tribute. Sure, you’ll have yearbooks to look back on, but these won’t recreate that important moment where a graduation procession brought on the next phase of your student’s life.

This is where graduation portraits come in. These capture your student at the finish line of it all. Their proud stance and beaming smile will paint a picture of them as they finally complete this important milestone of their life.

Getting the Best Graduation Portraits

We’ve gone over the importance of graduation portraits- now let’s talk about how to truly make them great.

You won’t find quality graduation portraits just anywhere. The school has likely provided a studio for senior portraits, but these are from the beginning of the year. The graduation portraits add that finishing touch at the end that’s just for you, and our photographers are experts at getting it right. We can help you decide Where to Take Senior Pictures.

Your student can choose to wear their cap and gown or just a favorite outfit that they want to remember themselves in. They might not think it now, but your student (and your family members) will be happy to have something to look back on. If you’re having trouble planning outfits we can help. Find out What to Wear for Senior Pictures.

Capturing Lifelong Memories

You never get to relive your high school years, so it’s important to create mementos that can commemorate them. Now that you know the importance of creating these memories, you can prepare to get yours done with your student.

For quality graduation portraits you can look back on with pride, contact us today.

What to Wear for Fall Family Pictures

by eriewed | Sep 11, 2020 | Family Pictures Photographers Blog, PHOTOGRAPHY, Portrait Photographers Blog

What to Wear to a Fall Family Pictures

Fall is all about bundling up in lots of layers, enjoying the shift from hot to cool, and soaking up the sun and autumn foliage. Here are a few tips for choosing outfits for your fall family session:

Choose colors that won’t clash too much with the fall leaves. Instead, stick with a neutral palette with colors that blend seamlessly into autumn’s spectrum: earthy reds, burnt oranges, creamy nude, etc.
Layer up! Don’t hesitate to throw on those scarves, cardigans, blazers, or hats.
Wear shoes that fit the season. Think riding boots or comfy, fur-lined boots. Loafers and flats can also work just fine.

Dressing For a Fall Family Session

What to Wear for Your Fall Family Pictures? This guide will help you choose; the best colors to wear for your fall pictures and give you inspiration on family color schemes. Look FABULOUS for your fall family photos!

WHAT TO WEAR FOR FALL FAMILY PICTURES

1- Fall colors such as darker shades of purple, yellow, orange, navy, tan, and to top it off with a denim top is the cherry on top for us! Food for thought, If you know your environment and background, try to pick colors that complement not match that way you pop from the surrounding.

2- Don’t Match! When the entire family matches EXACTLY, it takes away from each individual’s awesomeness that makes the family Unique. But for each one to have a color that ties into the next one. So if dad wants to wear his favorite orange and blue plaid shirt, mom should choose a solid top for herself and the child(ren) and add pops of color that also tie back into dad’s shirt or add more depth to the style. An excellent accessory might be an orange scarf or necklace on top of a tank top or a navy/orange bow for a child wearing a solid dress, etc.… just items to tie the overall look completely together.

3- Style Make sure to keep the overall look one STYLE, such as dress casual. You don’t want to have one person wearing super casual clothing, while the rest of the family is wearing church attire. Plan your clothing well before the session date, keep the weather in mind and ask your photographer what he/she thinks of the things you picked out!

4-Texture and layering is a good thing and, when used appropriately, can add dimension to your photos. A cute scarf or knit cardigan over a simple shirt can add some character to your look. Watch out for items that make you look bulky or weighed down; fitted clothing is better.

5- Base Color, i.e., Black, grey, denim, brown to help keep everyone grounded. Then add in two or three fun pops of color so everyone can add their style to the outfit. Make sure to switch up the base through your outfit, so you don’t have everyone in jeans and two different shirt colors. Put girls in dresses or tunics with tights. Have the guys wear your base color on top and choose a second base for them to wear on the bottom. Mix and match but make it fun. The goal is not for everyone to synced up perfectly. You want to be able to see a pattern when you take the photo as a whole.

6- Accessories can go a long way, and when used to make a unique statement, they make the person wearing them feel fabulous! A fun watch or cuff on mom, dad’s stylish tie, cute laced boots on your toddler, or an adorable sparkle headband on the baby can add a pop to the image. Try and make sure everyone has something about their outfit that makes them want to smile the whole time the camera is snapping!

Back to School Pictures in Erie Pa

by eriewed | Sep 5, 2020 | Family Pictures Photographers Blog, PHOTOGRAPHY, Portrait Photographers Blog

Fun & Exciting Back to School Pictures

This year has brought many changes and challenges into our lives and that includes how we do school. Back to School Pictures in Erie Pa celebrate your student’s acheivements no matter what school looks like this year. Because so many students are now learning remotely through cyber, virtual, or home school options we decided to expand to meet your needs.

That’s why we are now offering Back to School Pictures that are convenient, fun, and safe!

How are our Back to School Pictures Different?

We all know what we can expect from Back to School Pictures. Your child’s hair is a mess, they’ve slopped BBQ or Pizza sauce on their new sweater, and they look like something from the exorcist because they are uncomfortable. Who wants to be shuffled into a hot, sticky auditoreum with 30 other kids and stand in front of a person you’ve never met who’s desperate to make you smile?

So, you open the school’s picture order form and have to pay ahead of time for a photo that you’re pretty sure from experience is not going to be the most flattering memory of your child. What if we could change that?

Our Photo Session allow you to be with your child. You’ll bring them in and be present to they feel comfortable. No food stains or crazy Pippy Longstocking hair surprises. No anticipation of not knowing what’s coming.

Picking Your Poses

Is there really an option for Back to School Pictures in Erie PA that lets you pick your favorite poses? Of course! That’s the biggest benefit of our portrait option! Our photographers will be set to take up to 10 poses of each student that will be uploaded to an online gallery after they are edited for best quality. You’ll be sent the link to view your child’s pictures before you decide which one you like the best!

The Back to School Photos will be broken down into a sitting fee and a picture package separately with the pricing surprisingly being close to the traditional school options. Sitting fee for a student is only $20, with additional family members receiving a 25% discount. That makes each additional sitting fee only $15. Students MUST live in the same household to take advantage of this discount.

Picture Package prices begin at only $9. We added our package prices with the session fee and found our prices were actually less than the school’s prices! Now that’s a value!!

Back to School Picture Bonuses

Lastly, are the ordering and delivery bonuses of opting for our Back To School Pictures, in Erie PA. Unlike the traditional school photos, our delivery will be quick and easy from start to finish.

The online store featuring special School Picture Packages will be embedded right inside of your online gallery. All you’ll have to do is click the Shopping Bag icon on your favorite image and select the package that you want. There will also be A La Carte Items you can add on to share the love with even more friends and family!

Finally, when you’re done ordering how you receive your images is also in your control. We’ll have a free option to do Face to Face pick up at a set date and time or you can choose to have your photos delivered right from the lab to your door for a small shipping fee. AND there won’t be weeks and weeks of waiting to get your photos either. Most clients wait for a week or two because we don’t have to wade through hundreds of photo galleries to get your images back.

Are You Ready to Book Your Back to School Pictures?

Now that you understand how our Back to School Pictures in Erie PA work are you ready to reserve your time slot? You can click the link below to reserve your time. After you select your appointment we will manually approve it and send out an invoice for your student’s sitting fees. We can’t wait to capture your 2020/2021 School Photos!
