Planning your senior portrait session? Here are answers to some common questions about locations, outfits, session preparation, and what to expect when working with Doug Burke Photography.
We offer senior portrait sessions throughout Durham and the surrounding Triangle, including Chapel Hill and nearby communities. Whether you prefer the historic architecture and urban backdrops of downtown Durham, a scenic park, or a natural outdoor setting, we’ll help you select a location that reflects your personality. For Duke University and North Carolina Central University graduates, campus portraits may also be an option depending on university photography policies and access.
Choose outfits that reflect your personal style and make you feel confident. We recommend bringing a few different looks, such as something casual, something dressier, and an outfit that represents your interests or personality. Simple patterns and coordinating colors generally photograph well.
Absolutely! Outfit changes are a great way to add variety to your senior portraits. You’re also welcome to incorporate meaningful personal items, such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or graduation accessories. Let us know what you’re considering so we can plan accordingly.
We recommend scheduling your senior portraits well in advance, especially if you have a yearbook deadline or want photographs during a particular season. Spring and fall are popular for outdoor portraits, but beautiful sessions can be scheduled throughout the year.
Your finished senior portraits will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can view and download your images. We’ll provide information about the delivery timeline when scheduling your session.
