The question comes up because many parents are trying to give their seniors a little space, and a lot of responsibility, and worry they’ll smother, or intimidate, their student.

We understand, and as advocates for your kids, we’ll make sure their voice is heard during a photo shoot, and Will will certainly ask you to sit somewhere with a great view if he needs to move you out of the way. 🙂

But seniors absolutely need their parents at their photo shoot.

They’ll be self-concious, and you’ll put them at ease. They’ll have extra outfits, and it’s hard to be a rockstar without a roadie to carry your gear.

But there’s another reason why we really want you there. Most seniors leave home shortly after graduating, and there’s only going to be so many opportunities for you to be involved, so we don’t think you should miss this one.

We don’t necessarily require parents to attend the photo shoot, but we do require someone to accompany all seniors, and we think it should be you!

Besides, if you’re not there, how can we sneak you into a couple of pictures?

What Marina’s mom Karla said:

I can’t think of one thing that could have made our session with Focus any better.

“Oh my goodness, I don’t know who had more fun, my daughter getting her portraits taken by Will; or me, watching my shy daughter relax and enjoy herself in front of the camera.”

“I can’t think of one thing that could have made our session with Focus any better. It was everything we expected and more!”

“What a pleasure working with Focus Photography has been. Lucia was super-helpful when we placed our order, and I’m thrilled to have images of Marina, and this memory, that I’ll treasure forever. Thank you so much!”
