Where to have Your High School Senior Photography in Florida

Written by DanaNPhotography on . Posted in Seniors, Styled Photography Session.

McKee Botanical Garden in Vero Beach, Florida was the perfect backdrop for Jennifer’s 2024 High School Senior photography session! Jennifer loves lilies and the pond at McKee did not disappoint! The colors of the foliage combined with the rich textures of the trees, bridge and waterfalls was just perfect. After a session here, we traveled back to Downtown Melbourne and where my studio, Dana Niemeier Photography, is located and finished up the session with fun celebratory confetti college announcement photos! These are a perfect addition to graduation announcements. We book High School Senior Photography Sessions year round, but try to book in Florida’s cooler months! It’s hot here, folks, but we can always schedule those sessions ahead of time! Cheers!

Marie chose the Model for a Day Senior Photography Session and boy did we use that to the fullest! She took advantage of the in studio-included Hair and Makeup Styling by Glam Culture and went for a bumped up natural vibe. We began her Senior Photography Session in the studio with portraits and then with her English Mastiff, Chewy and Ollie her little Yorkie terrier mix! So. Cute. WE LOVE photographing Seniors with their pets! Marie is a ballet dancer and since moving from Minnesota recently, she wanted some of her Senior Photography Session images on the beach at sunrise! Check!

We also traveled down to McKee Garden in Vero Beach for beautiful Lily Pond and waterfall images. What a beautiful album this Senior Photography Model for a Day session made! The wall art was framed and hung on one of their new Melbourne Beach home’s walls. Have a great first year at The University of Florida, Marie! Go Gators;)

Model For a Day Portraits

Karlyn chose our “Model for a Day” Senior Photography Session and enjoyed a fun tour of Florida’s stunning Space Coast beaches and picturesque Live Oak-lined country roads!

Karlyn started her Senior Photography day with light hair and makeup. The expert stylists at Glam Culture, listened to what Karlyn wanted and then styled her beautifully! Glam Culture is conveniently located in Downtown Melbourne near our studio! We maximized the cool comfort of the air conditioning and captured Karlyn’s Glam side in a vintage gown from our Style Closet.

Florida’s hidden gems include rural country roads framed by majestic Live Oak trees, perfect for capturing unique and beautiful portraits. Karlyn’s sweet dog and her new convertible were wonderful additions to her Senior Portrait Box of matted 5×7 prints.

As the day unfolded, we couldn’t resist the allure of the beach. We headed to Sebastian Inlet, one of Florida’s top surfing spots, for breathtaking sunset portraits by the dreamy sand and surf. Of course, no “Model for a Day” Senior Photography Session would be complete without a sunset graduation gown shot!

Behind the Scenes

Model for a Day with 13 outfits and  5 locations!! Whew! What an incredible portfolio of photos to commemorate Karlyn’s 2021 Senior year of high school!

Here is another Senior Photography Session to check out!

Feel Beautiful and Exist in Print.

Written by DanaNPhotography on . Posted in Clients, Fashion, Portraits, Styled Photography Session, Women, Women's Photography.

Feel Beautiful and Exist in Print. It means many things to many people. Ladies–When is the last time you had someone photograph only YOU? Can’t remember? Are you always the one behind the camera while your Life goes undocumented? Yea…me too until I had a colleague photograph me. I had my hair done, makeup done etc. and then had my photograph taken and loved it! I did it for several reasons. My boys needed a photograph of just their mom and my husband needed a photograph of just his wife. I needed a photograph of me to remind myself of what I looked like in a flattering photograph! This is one of the core reasons for the Feel Beautiful Session.

No more excuses like, “I look terrible in photos!” or “I need to wait until I lose some weight.” It’s all in the posing and and lighting ladies. Posing you is my job. No worries. These are beautiful and simple photos. Classic and timeless. No boudoir or glamour shots. (Although I do offer a “White Sheet Session!) Think Vanity Fair Classic. These are photographs for anywhere in your home or office or that special place in your bedroom.

An in studio consultation will familiarize you with the Feel Beautiful session. It will be an opportunity to plan your wardrobe, coordinate our dates, ask any questions you may have regarding pricing and hold the gorgeous Folio Box that will contain your chosen matted photographs!

It is time for you to Feel Beautiful and Exist in Print.

Booking a Feel Beautiful Session:

Sessions include hair styling and makeup, in home wardrobe consultation & styling, fully guided shoot, portrait reveal and order session, full retouching and payment plans.

Bring your favorite frocks and choose from a few we have here if you like!  Sessions last about 2 hours and you will leave looking and feeling Gorgeous!  Make reservations at that new restaurant and to that show you have been wanting to see!

Seniorography 2020

Written by DanaNPhotography on . Posted in All Posts, Blog, Portraits, Seniors, Styled Photography Session.

Let it be known that 2020-21 will not be the year that High School Seniors just set back and gave up on having anything special happen their Senior year!  Hope’s mom, Julia was determined that Hope would begin her Senior year with a very special custom photography session from Dana Niemeier Photography! Over Zoom we planned the location and even planned the outfits Hope would wear right down to the jewelry and shoes.  I scheduled Hope with my Professional Hair and Makeup Stylist so that she would feel pampered and taken care of AND wouldn’t have to worry about a thing on her portrait day! Hope had chosen a beautiful coral prom gown that she was never able to wear to her Jr. Prom because the COVID-19 pandemic closed her school! I made sure she was able to have some gorgeous portraits and happy memories in that gown! It was a warm summer Florida day in a Botanical Garden and Hope looked radiant! We had so much fun and enjoyed a beautiful day in Vero Beach. I loved giving Hope a day she will always remember and beautiful portraits and wall art her family will always cherish.

Oh how I have waited for Florida in November!  Low humidity cooler days, even cooler  nights!  Well, the struggle is real. Here it is November 4th and it already 81 degrees at 9am. *Sigh* No matter how long you have been transplanted in Florida, your “Fall Clock” is just ticking.  But I digress 🙂  The Seniors have been waiting for our cooler weather to have their Dana Niemeier Photography Seniorography Sessions, but we will have to settle for the Lower Humidity to get it on!! It is off to a gorgeous start and the forecast is for more tulle with a few scattered pearls and preppiness!!  I will TAKE IT!!

Our Northern counterparts with their sunflower, cotton, waving fields of grain make us coastal Floridians long for those gorgeous, color filled shots! However we make due 🙂  Beaches, Botanical Gardens, Lagoons and Palm trees are what we rock here in the Sunshine State!  We even found a field of our own 😉 Here are a few of our first Senior “Fashion Collection” Sessions!  November-December is filling UP with them!!  After we shoot the fun Senior photos with the clients clothing choices, we move on to the Fashion Photography! Love it.

A West Shore Jr. Sr. High School Senior has a busy year!  Erin wanted her photos before the 2nd semester began and I was thrilled to do it!  Erin chose the Model Session! We discussed her wardrobe options and accessory choices a week before the shoot.  Erin also chose a FUN outfit from the Dana Niemeier Photography studio rack to wear as well!  Personally, I love this part of the Model Shoot!! Will at One Love Salon made sure she had photo ready makeup and we got to the fun of the shoot!!

Big exciting changes coming to Dana Niemeier Photography SENIOROGRAPHY!!!! (HINT: there is a runway involved!!)

 

 

Anastasia…Edgy, Sparkles and Waves Session!

Written by DanaNPhotography on . Posted in Beach Photography, Blog, Clients, Fashion, Portraits, Seniors, Styled Photography Session.

At our session consult I asked Anne what kind of photo shoot she envisioned. “I want it to be Fantastic!” OK then. Done.  She chose the Model for a Day Collection and decided on a rock and roll edgy/glamour shoot with a beach add-on.  Anne brought in a rack of potential outfits and jewelry options and we set to work putting together the perfect session.  This girl likes sparkle!!  Yay!  On shoot day, it was a packed afternoon with Hair and Makeup by One Love Salon’s Will Bernstein, 3 set -ups in Studio and by the time we were to head out for the beach THE BIGGEST STORM rolled in!  Welcome to Florida in the summer 🙂 We rescheduled for a few days later and had a BEAUTIFUL evening to capture some gorgeous soft portraits in and out of the water.  A true Florida and Bahamas girl who loves the beach!  Anastasia is leaving the sunshine state though and starts her college career at Ole Miss University in Oxford, Mississippi this fall!  Lucky Rebels!
