Celebrate Your Passion: Golf Senior Pictures
Senior portraits are more than just photos; they’re a chance to tell your story. If golf has been a big part of your high school experience, why not bring that love to your senior session?
Golf senior pictures aren’t just unique. They’re a personal way to celebrate this exciting time in your life.
Why Include Golf in Your Senior Pictures?
Your senior year is all about capturing what makes you, you! If golf is something you love, it’s a natural fit. Whether you play for your school’s golf team or play just for fun, here’s why golf-themed photos stand out:
They’re Personal: Highlighting something you’re passionate about adds meaning to your photos.
They’re Stunning: Golf courses offer breathtaking backdrops with their vibrant greens, open skies, and clean lines.
They’re Fun: Whether you’re posing with your favorite club or mid-swing, golf photos bring a playful energy to your session.
Planning Your Golf Senior Portrait Session
A little preparation goes a long way in creating photos you’ll love. Here are some ways to make the most of your session:
1. Pick a Meaningful Location
Choose a golf course that feels special to you. Maybe it’s where you learned to play, spent hours practicing, or competed in tournaments. A location that matters to you will make your photos even more meaningful.
Ryan (Heartland Christian School) chose to do his golf photos at Dodge Park in Council Bluffs where he spent a lot of time playing both for school and on his own for fun.
Ethan (Dowling Catholic High School) opted for golf photos at Hyperion Field Club in Johnston where his family has been long-time members.
2. Dress for the Occasion
What you wear sets the tone for your session. Consider these options:
Classic golf attire like a crisp polo or button-down shirt and tailored pants or shorts.
A team uniform or something in your school colors.
A dressier outfit paired with a golf club for a fun, creative contrast. (Bonus points if it’s the club you’ve been blaming for your slice all season!)
3. Show Off Your Gear
Bring along your golf essentials, like your favorite club, bag, or even a trophy. These props add personality to your photos and show off your connection to the game. Don’t forget a golf ball or two—maybe the one you sank that incredible putt with!
4. Plan for the Right Lighting
Schedule your session during the “golden hour”—shortly after sunrise or before sunset. The warm, soft light will make both you and the golf course look amazing.
5. Mix It Up
Varying your poses and settings will give your photos more depth. Some ideas include:
A dynamic shot mid-swing.
Walking down the fairway with your bag over your shoulder.
A quiet moment on the putting green—pretending you’re debating the break on a tricky shot.
