Unique Ideas for Senior Portraits

I was excited to have my senior portraits done. After all, these would pictures my mother would hang in her home for years to come and these pictures would help commemorate a huge accomplishment in my life. However, after meeting with a few photographers, my excitement faded. Many of the photographers offered up pictures and poses that have been repeated by other seniors over the past decade. I wanted something unique, and I was having a hard time finding it. After a lot of research, I finally came up with unique ideas for senior portraits. I started this website to share my unique ideas, hoping to help other high school seniors who want their pictures to be a reflection of their individuality and uniqueness.

Norfolk, Virginia is a city with a lot of history. Once known as a Navy town, it is now home to industry, art, and culture. If you're planning to visit Norfolk, be sure to stop by at least one of these four exciting attractions during your stay. 

Norfolk Botanical Garden

This large park is located directly next to the Norfolk airport for easy access for travelers. This huge botanical park boasts hundreds of different rose species, a Japanese garden, and an indoor tropical garden. There are miles of gardens to explore and there's even a butterfly house where you can see several different butterfly species and enjoy letting them land on you as well. It also boasts a fun, free tram ride as well as a boat ride for a small extra cost. For plant lovers, the botanical garden is definitely a place that should not be missed. The gardens are open through all four seasons, and some special events take place throughout the year.

Norva Theatre

If you're a music lover, be sure to check out the live events happening at the Norva Theatre. This large music venue holds concerts all year long and features everything from soul and funk to country and rock n roll. Ticket prices vary depending on the artist, but the Norva has a full bar, balcony section, and an excellent sound system. The Norva is located on Monticello Avenue in the heart of the downtown area, so there are plenty of great restaurants to dine at before you head out for a live show.

Town Point Park

If outdoor festivals are more your speed, be sure to visit Town Point Park, a seven acre outdoor park located right on the Elizabeth River. The park hosts a wide array of different festivals from wine and beer fests to jazz and Cajun cooking festivals. There is usually something happening every weekend there during the spring and summer months. If you're in Norfolk during the summer, make sure you head there to participate in Harbor Fest, Norfolk's largest annual festival complete with an impressive fireworks show.
