A collection of bad senior portraits:

It's a little crude, but I found it pretty funny. Maybe you will too.:)

[AdrianeCale]

That's FANTASTIC!!!

[Blueskies505]

Yikes! :lol:

I think the pregnant girlfriend one shouldn't even be labeled a senior photo :confused:

[FlyingPhotog]

Funny...

But Tyler Hansborough (sp?) will be getting the last laugh...

[darosk]

WOW :D

Half my senior portrait sittings this year featured a pregnant teenager....

Yea when he goes to the bank in about 7 months and cashes his 30 million dollar check, his senior pictures will mean absolutely nothing.

Rather sad actually...

Yes it is... and yes it does. I booked newborn baby pictures for most of them, too. I'm young (24), so they don't feel judged, I think. One girl had me redo her senior pictures for her because her original photographer kept making comments about her belly and made her cry.

You'd be surprised in a town like mine ive seen it... My sr portrait was similar to the ladder shot but with a column lol. God i can't believe my rents paid for those.

I probably know some of em...

[FOX2PRO]

I don't get the ladder. What purpose does it serve?

[AdrianeCale]

I probably know some of em...

Probably not... I don't advertise much around Altamont... may have to start tho...

Photo Reflections does most of the stuff in Altamont. But, I used to hang out with a bunch of people from Cowden/Shelbyville.

[SwiftFootTim]

Isn't shelbyville right next to Springfield?...

What's in the water down there in Illinois? I've seen these before but the pregnant one gets me every time.

Not quite. It's about an hour and a half drive from Springfield.

The pregnancy rate's pretty high this year, in my opinion. Cowden-Herrick, Pana and Shelbyville seem to have quite a few... My class has had two (out of 90 kids total)... And we also have one of the highest drop out rates in the history of Altamont, but at the same time have the best Scholastic Bowl team around (13-1 as of yesterday)... I dunno.:confused:

[SwiftFootTim]

Haha, I meant isn't Shelbyville the sister/rival city of Springfield in the Simpsons.

[AustinRoepke]

I have no idea lol.

[louieabellera]

haha awesome.

Hmm...a posing ladder, perhaps? :)

great pictures! I didn't look through your whole site, but a marketing idea would be to get a facebook fan page for your senior photo services, then tag the seniors with their photos (since so many people have facebook there'd be a good chance your seniors do), that way all their friends see the photos in their facebook profiles and come to look at your site.

Enjoyed visiting your website. I humbly think, if you take a similar approach with senior images, you do with lifestyle images, during and post production, you'll have a wining portfolio. You already know this, but many young people in that age group are fascinated by fashion and music; and express in terms like cool, hip, sick, OMG!, etc.. If your images can be expressed with such terms, and beyond good, nice, and pretty, again, you'll have images which those teens must have. All the best!

EDIT: I just realized that this post is off topic from the original post. My apologies.
