Senior year is an exciting time in a student's life, full of milestones and achievements that mark the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter. One way to commemorate this special time is through senior pictures. Senior pictures are a timeless way to capture memories that will last a lifetime. For Marisa, we collaborated with her on some senior picture ideas and the perfect locations to take them in the city of Chicago, including the beach and the park.

Senior Picture Ideas

When it comes to senior picture ideas, the possibilities are endless. You can take pictures at your school, with your sports team, academic clubs, or musical group, or even with your pets. The key is to choose a location and an outfit that reflects your personality and interests. For Marisa, she is a city kid. She loves the vibe and energy the city of Chicago provides and living near the beach serves as a getaway from the concrete jungle.

Cityscape

If you're looking for an urban vibe, the cityscape of Chicago provides an amazing backdrop for your senior pictures. You can take pictures in front of some of the city's most iconic landmarks, such as the Willis Tower or the John Hancock Center. The bustling streets of downtown Chicago also offer plenty of opportunities for unique and creative shots.

Park

If you prefer a more natural setting, the parks in Chicago offer plenty of options for your senior pictures. Lincoln Park is a popular destination for senior pictures because of its beautiful gardens and stunning views of Lake Michigan. The Chicago Botanic Garden is another popular location that offers a variety of beautiful landscapes, including waterfalls, prairies, and Japanese gardens. As luck would have it, right outside of Marisa’s home is the perfect park. Marisa hit the swings and took a few moments to bring out the inner child in all of us.

Beach

If you want a more relaxed, beachy vibe, the Lakefront Trail in Chicago is the perfect location for your senior pictures. The beautiful sandy beaches along the trail provide the perfect backdrop for a fun, carefree photoshoot. Whether you want to take pictures in the water or on the sand, the beach offers a stunning setting for your senior pictures. By the way, if you have a cute dog like Smores (Marisa’s dog), be sure to bring him along. Dogs always up the cuteness factor.

Senior pictures are a great way to celebrate your accomplishments and capture memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you choose a cityscape, a beach, or a park, there are endless possibilities for senior picture ideas in the city of Chicago. By choosing a location and outfit that reflect your personality and interests, you can create a truly unique and memorable senior picture experience.
