North Oconee Senior Portraits – Erin

Erin came from North Oconee High School for her senior portraits.  She is very involved in  sports at her school where she plays golf, basketball and runs cross country.  During her senior year she has also spent time job shadowing at Athens Orthopedic to help her get ready for college where she wants to study to be a PA.  It is always good to know a little about a career before jumping right into one!  This past summer she picked up a new hobby while in the Florida Keys and now loves SCUBA diving.  And if you want to make Erin happy take her anywhere that serves pizza!  Good luck next year in college Erin!

Senior Portraits – Olivia

Olivia is a high school senior from WBHS Class of 2018 and such a darling!  We have photographed Olivia in many sessions since she was a baby and are excited for her senior year. Olivia is one of those high school seniors who doesn’t sit still!  Not only does she go to school all day but she works A LOT!  Nothing wrong with this girl’s work ethic! Her sweet nature allows her to get along with everyone and we have found her to be a pleasure to work with at our studio. Olivia chose to do our Downtown session and below are a few of images.  Our Downtown session is taken on the streets and in the alleyways of old Winder. You never know who you might see when your downtown and it’s never a successful shoot if you don’t get at least one shout out or a honk from a passing car or truck!

WBHS Class of ’18 – Senior Portrait Safari

The one and only Alexis is a senior from the WBHS class of 2018 and we met her in Atlanta for her first senior portrait session in April.  She did one of our Safari sessions earlier in the year at a warehouse in Atlanta. Alexis showed up ready for a fun day in the city.  When we met her on the sidewalk outside the building we couldn’t wait to get started and had to get a few images right on the spot!  Alexis was a blast to photograph and the camera just loved her.  We look forward to her next session and to get to know her better!

Are you interested in one of our Safari Sessions?  Our next Safari will be to the mountains of north Georgia, we will be looking for something cooler on a hot summer day.  We will be surrounded by nature and wild rushing rivers along with some city images around a quaint mountain town.  Are you interested in something different?  Want to have a fun day exploring and feeling like a model?  Give us a call and get on the schedule, we are limited to a maximum of 4 seniors for this Safari.  The date will be Wednesday, June 21, 2017.

When Is The Best Time For Senior Portraits?

Now that you are officially a senior it is time to start thinking about your senior portrait session.  Every year as May rolls around we get calls about scheduling senior portraits and many want to schedule sessions in July.  Is July the best month for senior portraits?  Let me just say that unless you want a studio session July is not the best time for senior portraits.  May and June are great times for senior portraits, and we even put them on sale during May and June.  Why are those the best times?  The weather is cooler, the grass is greener and if that isn’t enough to make you want to do it then – the sessions are 75% off if you book two or more.  Every year when we ask seniors what they would change about how they did there senior portraits we hear that they wouldn’t have done them in July because it was soooo hot!  Then why would we put them on sale during the best time of the year for senior portraits and why would anybody offer 75% off?  Great question, and easy to answer too.  There are limited days in the summer and the sooner we can photograph you the better.   And the sooner we get you in the sooner you can get on to other things, like football, cheerleading and band camp!  We have already had calls where people are having trouble just finding a time to be photographed, and summer is barely even here!  Face it, you have crazy schedules – and your senior year is only going to get crazier (trust me I know).

So what should you do?  Look at the sessions tab at the top of this page and find which sessions you want to do.  Find a credit or debit card, because our sessions are prepaid.  Pull out your calendar and give us a call at 770-867-2853 and let’s go ahead and find a time that works for all of our schedules.  Sit back and relax, or go shopping for some new outfits for your session. You are going to have a great time along with some of the best senior portraits around.

But they said that we had to go to the school photographer.  That’s right you do have to go to the school photographer to be in the yearbook.  But you can go anywhere you want to get senior portraits that you will love and will want to share with friends and family.  And you won’t look like everyone else’s at school!  Also, you will have a minimum one and half hour appointment with us so we can take time to get the best photos of you and the things you like to do!

Still not convinced?  Every year we have parents tell us that they “had to use those other people” for there child’s senior portrait.  All of these people did too, they all just chose to come to us for the senior portraits that mattered to them.  As you scroll through the images below not one of these seniors “had” to come to Bentley Photography.  You will see seniors from  Apalachee High School, Athens Academy, Flowery Branch High School,  Mill Creek High School, Winder Barrow High School, Jefferson High School, Jackson County Comprehensive High School, South Forsyth High School, North Oconee High School, Oconee County High School, Madison County High School, Johnson High School and Kennesaw Mountain High School.   Ask yourself, if you could go to any photographer for your senior portraits, why would you choose the photographer that your school is making you go to?

Beach Senior Portraits

Donna met us at the beach for one of her senior portrait sessions last summer and your chance is coming up soon!  Our beach portrait trip is right around the corner, so if you are interested call us soon.  This years beach portraits will be June 9-12, 2017 at St. Simons and Jekyll Island, GA.  Sessions are limited and are first come first served.  Come on down to the beach and let us show you where we met and worked before opening our studio here in Winder.  We know all of the good spots for portraits, eating and shopping.  And if golf or fishing is your thing then this is a great place for that too.

These images are from Donna’s session.  Donna is graduating from Madison County High School this year and plans on going to Wingate University to study to be an athletic trainer.  Her favorite hobby is cheerleading, and she is so much fun to hang out with.  We really enjoyed photographing and getting to know Donna this year and wish her luck in the future!

What did Donna think about her session?  “Our sessions felt a lot like adventures!  I got to go places, like the beach, that I’ve never been to before, and my sessions were so fun and exciting.   It was the most fun and rewarding experience and I would definitely recommend any portraits be done here!  They treat you like family.  Amazing.”

Want to know what Donna’s mom thought about her session?  “Our school photographer made zero effort to make things exciting or to make a connection with my child.  They also didn’t care what they looked like and were all about he money.   At Bentley’s the photos are amazing!  The time spent photographing was well worth it.  They are high quality and capture her personality.”
