Senior year is when you really start to figure out who you are and what you love. It’s one of the reasons why I adore capturing this milestone. Many of my seniors truly inspire me with their insane talent, unique hobbies, and the coolest ideas. Personalizing your senior session is the best way to capture this current era of your life.

As a Berks County senior photographer, I’ve photographed students all over the area, from towns to lakes to farms to greenhouses.

If you’re looking for ideas to inspire your session, here are some of my favorite senior sessions you can recreate with locations all around Berks County, PA.

1. Bring an Instrument

Including your hobbies adds so much personality to senior photos.

Seniors to be inspired by:

• Sadie brought her cello and we got creative with some elegant styling and poses.
• Simon paired his viola with the bold murals in West Reading.
• Elijah brought his guitar, playing by the lake in Birdsboro.

Instruments offer variety in posing and make your gallery unique.

4. Highlight Your Sport or Activity

If sports played a big role in your high school years, we have to capture it.

Seniors to be inspired by:

• Ella and Isabel photographed on their school track.
• Callie brought her soccer ball, basketball, and football for action-inspired shots.
• Emma included her cheer poms.

Sports fields make a fun second location, but you can keep it simple, but just bringing some props to a field.

5. Head to a Lake (Especially for Sunset Lovers)

Local lakes, like Blue Marsh, give the best view of the sunset on the water.

Seniors to be inspired by:

• Madison and Charlotte caught the prettiest sunsets and took a tip in the water.
• Elijah played guitar under the pines for a peaceful lake feel.

Lakes are super fun in the summer and fall.

7. Lean Into The County Vibes

For seniors who love country music, line-dancing, or anything farm related – why not go all in for your senior photos.

Seniors to be inspired by:

• Madison requested this horse farm in Reading and it really added a personal touch – calling back to her childhood days horseback riding.
• Brianna met me at the Daniel Boone Homestead with her dad’s pick up truck. We even caught some hay bales placed in the field. It was pretty perfect paired with her cowgirl hat and boots.
