A choice of Fall color vines and bushes are also set up to provide a 
fall color look any time of the year.  So, don't wait until September!
 

There are a few signature poses for which this studio has become famous. 
Keep looking at the samples and make a list of what you like. 
If you see an exotic pose in a magazine, bring it in.  
Don't forget your sunglasses and your hat just for fun.
It is really fun to work with your own ideas, too. 


What to wear?
Instead of trying to decide at home which clothes to wear, 
just bring an armload or a laundry basket full of your favorites. To an artist, 
it's like being able to create portraits using many colors on a palette. 
We will decide together what will look best.

How about your Prom attire?  Something leather?  Something furry?
Hunting gear, bring your dog (requires $69 outdoor session). 
Choose different textures and styles as well as different colors.

Remember to bring your musical instruments and sheet music, 
athletic gear for golf, skiing, (rackets, balls, bats, gloves, jerseys, etc.),
hockey, figure skating, tennis, track, softball, fishing, etc. 
uniforms for cheerleading, dance, etc., plaques, medals, awards
or whatever will help tell the story of who you are. 

Bring the jerseys and equipment that go with your particular sport.

Make-up!
Cover-up sticks and powder work well to smooth out any problems. 
Blush works well to accent the cheeks, and to blend tan lines on shoulders.
Bring extra make-up and jewelry to the studio.

T
he portraits shown on this website 
represent only a small random
sample of hundreds of Seniors and 
their Families photographed at 
Schrader's portrait studio every year. 
If all seniors and families were exhibited
here, this would be a huge web site! 
Please accept my apologies if you don't
see your portraits here.  So many gorgeous 
portraits could fill these pages.
 

A personal note from Diane Schrader, photographer and digital artist:

  (This portrait is the most recent, after some serious retouching.)

I hope you enjoyed your tour of my website. I get a great deal of enjoyment and
fulfillment in photographing high school seniors and their families.  There is 
something very special about this time of your lives, and creating unique and
beautiful masterpieces, that you will be proud to display for generations to come, 
is my goal.   

Diane M. Schrader
