Senior Portraits for Guys: Making the Experience Fun, Personal, and Memorable

When it comes to senior portraits for guys, it’s common to hear a little hesitation: "Do I really have to?"
At Sundberg Photography, based in Wentzville and serving the greater St. Louis area, I specialize in creating senior photo experiences that guys actually enjoy — and parents are proud to display.

I believe senior portraits should be more than just a formality. They should capture who your son truly is at this exciting milestone. That’s why my senior sessions for guys are designed to feel relaxed, personal, and completely authentic.

How I Make Senior Portraits Fun for Guys

Instead of stiff poses and forced smiles, I focus on what makes each senior unique. Whether your son loves sports, music, cars, gaming, or another passion, we incorporate it into his session. His portraits won’t just show what he looks like — they’ll showcase who he is.

During our consultation, we’ll plan out the perfect session, choosing locations, outfits, and even props that feel genuine to him. It’s about creating a senior photography experience that’s effortless, fun, and entirely customized.

Tips for a Great Senior Guy Portrait Session

To make sure your son’s senior portraits are a success, here are a few simple tips:

1. Incorporate His Interests
Bring along favorite gear — whether it’s a football, a guitar, a car, or even a gaming controller. When we highlight what he loves, it instantly makes the session more meaningful and personal.

2. Choose Clothing That Reflects His Style
I always recommend a mix of casual favorites and one slightly more polished look. Think well-fitting jeans and a favorite shirt paired with a simple, stylish button-down. The goal is to keep him comfortable while offering some variety in the final images.

3. Keep It Relaxed
Guys typically feel most natural when the atmosphere is easygoing. I guide each session with simple prompts instead of rigid posing, which helps capture genuine expressions and natural confidence.

4. Trust the Process
It’s not uncommon for senior guys to be a little unsure at first — but almost every one of them ends up having more fun than they expected. And once they see their finished portraits, they’re proud of the way they look and what the images represent.
