High School Senior Portraits
https://tonyaboltonphotography.com/

I’ve been a professional photographer since 2011. For a while now, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching photography at the high school and college levels. For the last 6 years, the focus of my portrait business has been with high school seniors–averaging sales of $4,500.

I love mentoring other photographers about my workflow in this genre. Every single step you take with the client should be preparing them for the sale that you want. From the consult to the reveal of images and everything in between, especially posing. My style is by no means basic but I do not follow trends. I create portraits that I know will sell to the parents that hire me.
