**Step Two, evaluate different photography styles and portfolios.**

Photography styles can vary as widely as the photographers themselves. These styles include moody, light and airy, realistic color, posed, candid, natural, and many more. By reviewing a photographer's portfolio, you can determine whether their style aligns with your preferences.

Diversity and inclusivity are also important factors to consider when examining a photographer's work. Key considerations include the photographer's experience with various locations, lighting conditions, poses, body types, and outfits. A well-rounded photographer will demonstrate the ability to create beautiful portraits across a variety of situations and for individuals of all backgrounds.

**Step Three, assess experience and professionalism.**

To enhance your experience when selecting a photographer for senior portraits, it's essential to choose someone with experience in this specific area and familiarity with the yearbook process. A professional website that is well-organized and easy to navigate can provide valuable insight into their expertise. If the photographer's process isn't clearly outlined on their site, be sure to ask them about it. Specifically, inquire about planning, posing, location, and turnaround time.
