About CT Shoreline Photographer, Linda Sobolewski

My interests are simple: coffee, workouts, and being outdoors surrounded by beautiful scenery. There’s nothing like getting up early to photograph the sun rising over the CT shoreline. I enjoy taking high school senior portraits, lifestyle newborn photography, and capturing family gatherings in beautiful settings. My goal as a family photographer in Connecticut is to provide easy and comfortable portrait sessions as well as timeless, lasting images.

What to Bring to Your Senior Photo Session: The One Thing You Shouldn’t

Senior Tips

If you’ve been wondering what to bring to your senior photo session, you’re not alone. Most seniors think about outfits, shoes, accessories, or props—but there’s one thing I always recommend leaving at home: a bad attitude. It might sound a little harsh, but your energy plays a huge role in how your photos turn out. A positive mindset helps you feel more confident, makes the session more fun, and shows up in every single image.

You don’t need to know how to pose or be “good” at taking photos—that’s my job. I’ll walk you through everything. But if you come into the session feeling annoyed, closed off, or uncooperative, it will affect the entire vibe. And yes, it will show in your photos.

The best senior sessions happen when you come in open to the process, even if you’re a little nervous. When you trust me and lean into the experience, your personality shines, and that’s what makes your photos you.

Yes, bring your favorite outfits, any accessories that reflect your style, and props that matter to you. But don’t forget to bring your energy. Bring your willingness to move, laugh, try a few silly prompts, and have fun.

What to bring to your senior photo session isn’t just physical stuff—it’s your mindset, your spirit, and your presence.
