Graduating from Clemson University is a huge milestone, and your senior photos should capture this exciting moment in a way that feels authentic, fun, and stress-free! If you’re wondering what to expect at your Clemson University senior portrait session, I’ve got you covered. From the booking process to the final gallery delivery, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your session.
1. Booking Your Clemson Senior Session
The first step in the process is securing your session date! Clemson senior photos book up quickly—especially in the spring—so I recommend scheduling as early as possible. When you inquire, we’ll discuss available dates, the best locations, and what type of session fits your vision.
Once your session is officially booked, you’ll receive my exclusive ASP Senior Session Guide, packed with tips on outfit choices, posing, and how to prepare for your photos.
2. Planning the Perfect Session
Before your session, we’ll go over all the details to ensure everything runs smoothly! I’ll help you pick the best Clemson senior photo locations, from Sikes Hall and Tillman Hall (which count as one location with me!) to Death Valley, the Scroll of Honor, or your favorite campus spot.
I also provide:
- Outfit coordination suggestions
- A client closet with a cap, gown, tassel, and Clemson honor stole available to borrow
- A pop-up changing tent, so you can switch outfits easily and comfortably on campus
- Advice on what props to bring, like a diploma cover or biodegradable confetti poppers
3. Session Day: What to Expect
The day of your session is all about celebrating you! I’ll guide you through poses that feel natural while capturing the fun, personality-filled, and timeless portraits you’ll love.
Here’s what to expect during your Clemson senior session:
✔️ A relaxed, fun experience – No need to stress about posing! I’ll direct you to make sure you feel confident and look amazing.
✔️ Multiple locations & outfits – We’ll move between your selected spots and capture a variety of looks.
✔️ A pop-up changing tent for outfit changes – No need to hunt for a bathroom—quick and easy changes right at your session!
✔️ An emergency kit on hand – I bring everything from hairspray to a lint roller to keep you looking your best!
✔️ Candid & classic shots – Whether you want perfectly-posed cap and gown photos or fun, personality-filled candids, we’ll do both!
What’s in My Emergency Kit?
I bring an emergency kit to every senior session to make sure you look and feel your best. It includes:
✔️ Hairspray for touch-ups
