FAQs About Senior Photo Posing (Greensboro & Triad Seniors)

What do I even do with my hands in senior pictures?

Trust me, every senior I photograph in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and around the Triad asks this! The trick is to give your hands a purpose. Lightly brush your hair back, play with jewelry, hold your jacket, or grab the edge of your outfit. When your hands stay soft and active, your whole pose looks way more natural.

How do I avoid looking stiff or awkward in my senior photos?

Movement is the magic. Whether we’re shooting in downtown Greensboro, the beautiful Dewberry or Dogwood Farm, or the industrial spots at Revolution Mill, tiny movements make everything feel real. Walking, shifting your weight, twirling, brushing your hair, or laughing between poses brings out those effortless, genuine expressions you’ll love.

What are the best poses for senior pictures?

There’s no one-size-fits-all pose. The best ones are the ones that match your personality. I love starting with easy sitting poses, adding soft over-the-shoulder looks, and then building in fun shots that show off your vibe. Whether we’re in a field in Summerfield, at a mural downtown, or at your school’s campus, we’ll find poses that highlight who you are.

When should I book my senior photo session in the Triad?

Most seniors book in the spring or summer before senior year, but fall is a huge favorite in the Triad thanks to those golden leaves and cozy outfits. The earlier you book your Greensboro/Triad senior session, the more choices you’ll have for timing, outfits, and locations. My calendar fills up quickly once the school year starts!
