Why You Should Add a Best Friend Session Into Your Senior Photo Package
Senior photos are already a big deal—you’re capturing this time in your life before everything changes. So why not make the experience even better by bringing your best friend along? Adding a best friend session to your senior package means you’ll still get all of your individual photos, but you’ll also have some with the person (or people) who have been there through it all.
Think about it—showing up together makes the whole session more fun and relaxed. You’ll have someone there to hype you up and make you laugh, which means your photos will feel even more natural. Plus, you’ll get a mix of solo shots and pictures together, so you have something to look back on beyond just the usual senior portraits. If you want photos that actually feel like you and capture more than just your senior year—but also the friendships that made it unforgettable—this is the way to do it.
