Scout the Perfect Location

The setting of your photos can tell a story all its own. Whether it’s the classic steps of your university building or a place that holds personal significance, choosing the right background is key.

Here are some great options:

Strike a Pose

Feeling natural in front of the camera is not always easy, but don’t worry. Mario will guide you and help you find fantastic poses. Remember to:

Practice in the mirror before your session. This helps you know which angles you like best.
Trust your photographer. Mario’s experience with finding the right poses will shine through in your photos.
Relax and have fun. Genuine expressions make for the best photographs.

Timing is Everything

Good lighting is crucial for stunning photographs. Scheduling your session during the golden hour – the hour after sunrise or before sunset – can provide a soft, warm glow that will make your graduation photos truly stand out.

Bring Your Personality into the Frame

Graduation photos should be as unique as you are. Mario encourages you to bring props or items that highlight your hobbies, achievements, and dreams. Whether it’s a musical instrument, sports equipment, or books, these personal touches add depth to your photos.

Senior Session | McLennan Community College & Downtown Waco | Annah B.

Downtown Waco &
McLennan Community College
Senior Photos

Seniors can never go wrong with Senior pictures from Downtown Waco and McLennan Community College. First, the College is basically one of the most beautiful campuses in Central Texas. There are so many pockets of beauty and the spring flowers are just spectacular.

Downtown Waco is also great. There are so many good areas to shoot. This allows me to uniquely capture each senior’s own style. If you want to pair the small town vibe with nature, you won’t go wrong with this!

I was so happy when Annah named these places!

Annah was a senior at China Spring High School. At first, you’ll mistake her quiet nature as shyness. But, you’ll soon realize Annah has a peaceful and passionate energy about everything she does. She’s positive and loves helping people reach their goals.
