Tulsa Senior Portrait Photography - Fashion Session

This Tulsa senior portrait session is for the girl or guy who is really into fashion! This is what makes our senior portrait sessions unique. I'm the only professional photographer in this area who was a high fashion professional model who modeled in Paris and Milan. I'm also currently a published fashion photographer. And my daughter, Jade who is the stylist and makeup artist for my shoots is currently a high fashion model who has modeled at New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week. We absolutely love being able to utilize our modeling and fashion industry experience to pose our subjects in the most flattering way to their figure and their face. And to bring you the experience of a real fashion photoshoot.

That's why our senior portraits are unique. We learned from being in the real fashion industry and utilize all we know to make your senior pictures become the envy of all your friends. We also believe everyone has beauty but it just needs to be brought out by fashion industry professionals with the right makeup, hair and clothing. This is why the images in fashion magazines look so amazing! They are not following what other senior portrait photographers are doing which is what I see other photographers doing copying the wrong people in my opinion. Jamil Gotcher Photography has it's own style because we set the trends in High School Senior Photography for the entire Tulsa, Oklahoma area. 

At Jamil Gotcher Photography our photo sessions are all about you! You are the star and we are here to make you feel pampered and doted on and be able to share Senior Pictures with friends and family that make them more memorable than everyone else's because your photographer is a real fashion photographer not a portrait photographer trying to be a fashion photographer. Make sure to check out my modeling and fashion photography on Facebook. Facebook.com/JamilGotcherPhotography

We'll make sure to shoot a variety of looks though. Even some fun ones for your social media accounts.

I think about the colors the senior is wearing when I select the background. I like everything to coordinate. That's why we moved from the rooftop location downtown to this Tulsa midtown area with the Spring flowers.

Tulsa, Oklahoma - Senior Pictures- Senior Portrait Photographer



Tulsa, Oklahoma Senior Pictures aren't what they used to be. High School Seniors want their photos to look like a fashion photoshoot or like an album cover for a music artist. At Portraits by Jamil, we can even supply a professional makeup artist/hair stylist who also works for us on our fashion advertisement photoshoots for Tulsa businesses. As a former high fashion model I will instruct the senior how to move in front of the camera so they have lots of poses to choose from. I don't shoot and shoot and shoot and just hope to get a good shot, I know I'm getting a good shot, because I took the time to compose the shot. A portrait session without much direction from the photographer is the way amateur photographers work because they lack the experience and confidence with directing people on photoshoots. High School Seniors aren't professional models so they will need to be directed. I know how to photograph people in a way that is very flattering to their face and their figures because this is something I learned from my own modeling career. Also posing doesn't mean they look stiff, when we direct them how they should stand or move, our goal is getting them to look natural and confident.

Great expressions in photos don't just happen either. I'm always watching their face and making sure to capture many different wonderful expressions. Everything can look great, cool outfit, stylish accessories, beautiful hair, nice pose, beautiful background, beautiful light but a scared or stiff expression ruins the shot. Just because a photographer can take a beautiful sunset photo or still life doesn't mean they are good at photographing people. Photographing people is a different skill set.
