5 ideas 👇🏼 (save this)
1. We have a ton of green right now in Los Angeles but it’s a small window! The heat has already arrived - if you haven’t booked a session yet, try and do that asap
2. Make sure you wear boots if you are taking senior pictures in tall grass (your photographer also should have things in place to help keep you safe - and be insured in case)
3. Green is pretty but it can make blond hair pull green in the editing - make sure your senior photographer knows how to light you
4. Make sure the spot you want to take pics at doesn’t require a permit
5. My makeup artist comes along with us on senior sessions but if your photographer doesn’t offer this, make sure you bring all the things you need for touch ups
—> I take care of everything for you & make sure you’re prepped really well before your senior session ☺️ I want you to show up and just have fun (your mom too) ##
I only have a couple of spots left in April for senior portraits in Los Angeles or here in Santa Clarita (or anywhere near here you wanna go!)
DM me for info or head to my website 💜
It’s not too late class of 2026 but it will be soon - don’t be left wondering “where’d all the time go?” Graduation will be here before you know it!

As someone who has planned and taken part in multiple senior photo sessions during spring in Los Angeles, I’ve learned some valuable extra tips that can really enhance your experience and photos. Firstly, timing is crucial. The window for lush green backdrops is brief because Los Angeles quickly shifts into warmer weather, which can dry out the scenery. Booking early in the spring season ensures you’ll have vibrant greens that pop beautifully in photos. When shooting in tall grass or natural settings, wearing sturdy boots is not just about comfort but also safety. There’s often uneven ground or hidden debris, so protecting your feet ensures you stay comfortable throughout the session. Make sure your photographer is insured and prepared for outdoor shoots to avoid unexpected issues. Lighting can make all the difference, especially if you have blonde hair. Natural light reflecting off greenery can sometimes cause a green tint in photos, so a professional photographer who understands how to position you and use reflectors can prevent color distortions and highlight your natural beauty. Permissions for locations are often overlooked but critical. Some parks or popular spots require permits for photography, and failing to secure one can cut your shoot short or result in fines. Always discuss location permits with your photographer in advance. Lastly, having a makeup artist accompany you can be a game-changer, helping with mid-session touch-ups to keep you camera-ready. If that’s not an option, bring your own makeup essentials, including powder and lipstick, for quick fixes. By keeping these pointers in mind and booking your session soon—especially if you’re part of the class of 2026—you’ll avoid the last-minute rush and enjoy a fun, relaxed photo experience that captures your achievements and personality perfectly. Don’t wait around wondering where the time went; graduation day will arrive faster than you think!
