Then we moved to North Dakota and I started being asked to do senior pictures.\u00a0 I had to ask what they were talking about&#8230;.I learned really fast and had a blast doing it!\u00a0 And now senior pictures are one of my favorite types of photo sessions!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>So, why are senior pictures so popular?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a01.\u00a0 Senior pictures are a tradition dating all the way back to World War II, and according to Wikipedia, possibly all the way back to 1880!\u00a0 Of course, the styles have obviously changed and have moved from a stiff formal head shot, to the weird drapey thing of the 80s and now to very personal and stylized photos.\u00a0 Even the head shots are more personal, fun and show personality!\u00a0 Be a part of American

parent&#8217;s roof as a child (you may come back and live in the basement, but it still will not be the same, LOL), or the last season of your athletic teams, band, academic clubs, etc.\u00a0 Your
