Senior Portraits With Boyfriend – Beach Photography
Senior portraits don’t have to be all about standing by yourself and smiling at the camera. If there is someone who has been a big part of your life during these high school years, why not include them? For this session, we brought her boyfriend along for a few photos. Honestly, as a Nashua Senior Portrait Photographer, I think it made the whole thing more fun. There is something about having someone you’re comfortable with there that makes it much easier to relax and just be yourself.
And no, including your boyfriend doesn’t mean your senior gallery suddenly becomes a couples session. Your senior portraits are still the main event. We can spend most of the session focusing on you and then carve out some time for a few photos together. Years from now, you may not remember exactly what you were wearing or how you posed for your senior pictures. However, you might love having a photo that takes you right back to this particular chapter of your life. High school goes by ridiculously fast. You might as well document the people who were part of it.
Senior and Family Portrait Photographer
Senior year is such a big milestone, not just for your teenager, but for the whole family. That’s why I love when families choose to add a few family portraits to their senior session. You’re already dressed, your hair is done, and everyone is together. Why not take advantage of it? As a Nashua Senior Portrait Photographer, I’ve seen how quickly this season passes. Those photos of your family together often become some of the most meaningful images from the entire session.
And don’t worry, this doesn’t mean turning your senior portrait session into a full family photo shoot. We can set aside just a few minutes during a mini session for some relaxed family photos. While focusing the rest of the session on your senior. Or you can choose a full session, and we will mix them in as we go. Either way you’ll get the senior portraits you came for. Plus, a handful of updated photos with the people who helped get them to this point. Someday, you will look back at these images, and they will seem like they are from a different lifetime. You may find that care just as much about the photo of everyone together as you do about the perfect senior portrait.
Football Senior Portraits – Hudson Photographer
For a Nashua Senior Portrait Photographer who also does newborns and toddlers there is essentially nothing easier than a Senior Mini Session. Senior mini sessions are short, simple, and focused. Which means choosing the right location is a big part of making sure we get a good variety of images. There isn’t time to drive to multiple locations or change outfits a bunch of times. So, I look for spots that give us different backdrops, lighting, and little pockets of variety all within the same area. That way, we can create a gallery that feels like a full senior session without spending the entire time walking from place to place.
For this recent senior mini session, we also brought along his football gear. Which made the session feel much more personal. We were able to capture the classic senior portraits while also incorporating something that is a big part of his life right now. I love when senior photos include those little pieces of who they are at this age. Because someday, the football gear will be packed away and graduation will be over. But these photos will be one of the things that take you right back to this version of them.
Baseball Senior Portraits – Dracut Photographer
I first started photographing this guy when he was just 5 years old. Which is one of those things that sounds completely reasonable until you realize he is now a senior. How did that happen?! I’ve had the chance to photograph so many stages of his life over the years, so getting to be his Nashua senior portrait photographer felt a little extra special.
Baseball has been such a big part of his life for as long as I can remember. So, we made a special trip to his hometown ball field for part of his session. It was the perfect place to capture something that is genuinely him. Instead of just taking senior photos, we were able to document a piece of his story. The place, the sport, and the passion that have been part of his life for years. And honestly, getting to photograph the little 5-year-old I met all those years ago and now see the young man he has become? That part never gets old.

Beach Mini – Senior Pictures Photographer
Beach Photographer – High School Senior Photos
There’s just something about senior portraits at the beach that works. The soft sand, ocean views, beach grass, and gorgeous evening light. Plenty of variety without having to travel from location to location. As a senior portrait photographer, I love that we can create classic, polished portraits and more relaxed imges that actually feel like your senior. It is a one stop shop location.
Beach sessions are also perfect for seniors who want their photos to feel a little different from the traditional park or downtown setting. Yes, we may have to deal with some wind (sometimes a lot of wind). However, it’s usually worth it. Whether we’re photographing along the water, near the dunes, or catching the last bit of sunset. A beach session gives your gallery tons of variety while still keeping the focus where it belongs—on your senior.
Senior Portrait Friend Session
Senior portraits don’t have to be a solo event. Bringing your best friend along is a fun way to make your session feel more relaxed. Plus it gives you a few photos together before senior year flies by way faster than anyone is prepared for. As a Nashua senior portrait photographer, I’m always happy to include a best friend for part of your session. You’ll still get plenty of individual portraits, but we can sneak in some photos together too.
And let’s be real, your camera roll probably has approximately 4,000 pictures of the two of you…but how many are actually worth printing? Senior year is full of big changes, and chances are life is going to look pretty different a year from now. Adding best friend photos to your senior session gives you something a little better than screenshots, selfies, and blurry pictures from Friday night football games.
If you’re looking for a Nashua senior photographer and want to bring your best friend along, I’m completely on board. Come ready to laugh, give each other a hard time, and maybe cooperate for at least a few photos your moms will actually want to frame.

Industrial Style Senior Portraits – Downtown Nashua
If fields, flowers, and beach grass aren’t really your senior’s thing, a downtown or urban location can be a great alternative. Brick walls, interesting architecture, stairways, alleys, and street art give us tons of different backgrounds within a small area—and a completely different look from a traditional outdoor session. As a Downtown Nashua senior photographer, I love urban locations for seniors who want their photos to feel a little more modern and laid-back. They also work especially well if your senior wants to bring a few different outfits, since we can easily create several completely different looks without spending half the session driving around.
Sister Senior Portraits – Nashua Photographer
I didn’t know that after taking big sister C’s senior portraits last year that I would be seeing her family again so soon. Then, to my surprise, Mom booked a beach session for Y-Class of 2022. This time the whole family tagged along. When my three girls are in high school I hope they have a relationship as good as these three sisters do.
Ella is 5
Sometimes, when you are a family of 6, Hampton beach trips are just simply more enjoyable in the evening. There are less crowds (ok that one is for mom). There is free parking (ok that last one is just for Dad). Most importantly there is no sun screen-ing! Sometimes when your mom is a beach photographer she cannot pass up golden hour at the beach. She will definitely try to rope you into the occasional beach photo-shoot. However, sometimes all you want to do is jump some waves. Sheesh, what do I look like a model?! Honestly, I have heard all of her one liners 1,000 times! The lady definitely needs some new material if she want to get this girl smile. Mom always gets these “bright ideas.” For example, recreating her favorite image of you from babyhood.
Still 5
Sometimes she’ll bring your favorite tutu for afterwards as a low down dirty bribe. Fortunately, I generally respond to bribes. Besides everyone know that tutus work better than bathing suits, anyways. Finally, the shoot is “over” and I get to just play! But, sometimes playing in the water by yourself is overrated. Luckily, sometimes little sisters make the best co-wave jumpers. Often, when you are in the middle-ish child your “5 year old portraits” are taken when you are 5 years and 10 months. And, often when you are 5 years and 10 months taking pictures is not your favorite. But thankfully, often mom’s favorite images are the ones she gets when she is giving me no direction at all. I guess real life is just better that way.
Senior year goes by ridiculously fast, so senior portraits are one of those things you definitely don’t want to leave until the last minute. Whether your senior is picturing the beach, a downtown setting, a favorite sports field, or somewhere with classic New England scenery, choosing a location that fits their personality is a great place to start. You can also check out Visit New Hampshire for a little inspiration on the different landscapes and scenery our state has to offer.

Nutter Photography is simply the best! We love to get our yearly family pics with Kerri. She’s fantastic!
The before and after of my baby girl was definitely one of brightest ideas.
I’m in love with these! I want Chloe to do some!!
These are some of my favorites! I would love to do some with Chloe.
