Why You Should Add a Best Friend Session Into Your Senior Photo Package
Introduction
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.
What Does a Best Friend Session Look Like?
A best friend session is exactly what it sounds like—your regular senior session, but with your best friend there, too. You’ll still get all your individual shots, but we’ll mix in some fun, natural photos of you together throughout the session. It’s not about stiff, posed shots—it’s about capturing the real moments, whether that’s laughing at an inside joke, recreating a funny memory, or just hanging out like you normally would.
These sessions are totally flexible. You can coordinate outfits for a cohesive look or just show up as yourselves. Maybe you want photos in a spot that means something to you, like the coffee shop you always end up at or the trail you walk every summer. Or maybe you just want a mix of solo and friend shots in a beautiful setting. However you do it, a best friend session makes the experience more fun, more comfortable, and gives you photos that actually capture your senior year the way you’ll want to remember it.
Why Should You Do a Best Friend Session?
Senior photos are about capturing this time in your life, and adding a best friend session is an easy way to make it even better. You’ll still get all your individual shots, but you’ll also get a few with the person who’s been there through it all.
Having a friend there makes the whole thing more fun and way less awkward. You’ll have someone to laugh with, which helps your photos feel natural. Plus, you’re already at the session—why not get some cutey photos together while you’re at it?
