Senior Portraits — Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at contact@bjthompson.photography if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How far in advance should I book my senior session?

Most seniors book 4–8 weeks ahead. Spring and early fall fill quickly.

Where do senior portrait sessions take place?

You choose the location, or I can recommend UT Campus, Brushy Creek, Lady Bird Lake, South Congress, or your school campus.

Each package includes a different number of outfits, but you’re welcome to bring extras.

Do you help with posing?

Yes — I guide every pose so you feel confident and natural.

What should I wear?

Choose outfits that feel like YOU — solid colors, layers, and flattering fits always work well. I’ll send you a prep guide with tips on choosing colors and accessories that photograph beautifully.

Can I include props or hobbies in my photos?

Yes! Bring anything that reflects your personality — sports gear, instruments, books, pets, cap & gown, or anything meaningful from your senior year.

Can parents or siblings join the session?

Parents are always welcome to come along. If you'd like a quick family photo, just let me know before the session — I’m happy to include one.
