How exciting is this? After all these years and so much effort, you are finally entering your senior year of high school! Congratulations! This is an amazing time in life where independence and emancipation are right around the corner, and yet there’s nothing quite like the comforts and security of home-life with your family. As you cross this threshold into adulthood, you begin to make well-thought-out decisions founded on research, practicality, and long-term potential. Why not use and apply those decision-making skills to your senior portrait experience? There’s no need to be swept up by a pre-assumed appointment with a contracted mass-market photographer. This is about YOU, your experience, your memories. Make the right choice in establishing your senior portraiture – and make the most of your moments with Mitchell Photography.

Mitchell Photography is a small, family owned and operated business in Bowling Green. This means you’ll get the personal attention and custom-tailored experience that you deserve. We look forward to every aspect of helping you through your senior portrait session – how to dress, what to bring, and what to expect from start to finish. We’ll meet first for a consultation to talk about what you expect from your experience. Next, we’ll have a blast rockin’ your senior portrait session. Our next step is to perfect the pictures, polishing and perfecting them for you to view. Your viewing session will be about 1-2 weeks after your studio experience. At your viewing, you’ll see a slide-show presentation of the images we have for you to choose from, and you’ll have an opportunity to see all the amazing things we can do with your portraits – including proof books, albums, storyboards blending multiple images, amazing canvas wraps, graduation announcements, and so much more! But don’t worry – we’re not about high-pressure sales. We’ll show you what’s available to you and YOU pick out the prints, packages, and specialty products that fit your needs and your budget. We can even help you establish a payment plan, or help you discover ways to get your studio prints for FREE! Just ask us about our Senior Ambassador Points-to-Prints Program!

We offer a wide variety of traditional AND digital backgrounds, we choreograph unique and creative poses, and we go all out to make sure that you look your very best. Here’s what you can do to help:

1. Bring about 4 outfits. Bring something a little more on the formal side, such as a prom dress or a suit – especially if you don’t plan on wearing it again after your senior year. Second, bring something classy and conservative that parents and grandparents are sure to approve of. And then you can shed the formality and rock a fun and festive look – and lastly, something extremely casual (save the last one for your outdoor session!).

2. If you have a uniform, such as cheer, dance, football, basketball, or R.O.T.C, bring that, too, along with any pieces and parts (pom poms, football, basketball, etc.) – we’ll work ‘em in and you’ll feel more at ease in your comfort zone.

3. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Break out the bold jewelry, the funky hat, and all the things that make you uniquely you.

4. Ladies – make-up is good, especially if you wear it just a little darker than normal, but be careful not to over-do, and remember, you’re changing outfits, so neutral or “smoky” colors are going to work best. And gentlemen – a clean shave is great, but if you prefer facial hair, make sure it’s well groomed.

Above all, have fun! This is an incredible time in your life - own it, make the most of it, and make memories you’ll cherish forever.

 (Parents or Guardians must be present at all appointments, but you're also welcome to bring along a friend or two if you'd like.)
