You schedule a senior girl. You are so excited. She is outgoing, fun and beautiful. You know you’re going to get some incredible shots for your portfolio. She shows up and her outfits are amazing and you can’t wait to get started. You’ve got a great location. You take her out there, show her where to stand, backup and hold up your camera. She puts her hands on her hips and smiles. You snap some shots.

“What else should I do?” she asks.

“Uhh,” you say, searching your brain, trying to remember some of the pictures you found on Pinterest.

Sound familiar?

I’m not really one to name my poses but I like to call this one “daddy’s girl” because dads always LOVE this pose. Moms love it, too, but there’s something about a dad looking at this pose and seeing his little girl again that has the power to bring a tear to a grown man’s eye. His little girl is all grown up and about to head off to college but this photo captures her sweet girlish innocence that he wants to remember forever.

This is another one of my go-to poses because it’s easy to do anywhere in any outfit (just be careful to watch for excessive cleavage on low-cut tops). You can find a bench or a ledge for her to lie on, have her lie in the grass, or even on a sidewalk.

Standing out in the open is one of the trickiest places to shoot senior girls, but most of my clients want the rural look (especially big grassy fields) and you don’t find many benches, ledges, staircases or alleyways out in the country. Out of necessity, I’ve learned tons of great poses for girls to do out in the open. This is one of my favorites.

    Great poses, and nice to see not as over the top grown-up as a lot of senior girl posing tends to skew
