SENIORITY FAQ
- When should I shoot my Senior Pictures?
-
We start shooting the Class of 2025 in early May and shoot the entire Spring, Summer and Fall- ending around Thanksgiving.
Some Seniors wait until the last few months of senior year in late February through the end of April during 2nd Semester.
We will soon have info on the benefits of shooting during each season. Stay tuned!
- What are the best locations for Senior PIctures in Nashville?
-
Don't worry! We have got you covered. We literally have thousands of locations available and fully scouted out- from the Nashville area- all the way through Franklin, Spring Hill and down through Columbia. JB will show you examples of other seniors who have shot in the location/style you are interested in, during your Zoom consultation. If you already have a style/vibe in mind, JB will help you put together a game plan. If you have no idea where you want to shoot, JB will take you on a fun adventure, where he constantly is giving you shoot options as we travel around your area on shoot day! You can relax, knowing JB has been there before and knows all of the hidden locations and has the lighting with him to shoot in any situation, whether it's day or night!
- How much do Senior Pictures cost?
-
Our images are way more than just photography. Each image is hand-edited work of art. Your photographer, JB Brookman brings the same masterful level of creation to your Senior as he does to his celebrity clients and rockstars. Master-level lighting. Conversational and relaxed posing. A style that combines Hollywood flair with classical portraiture and brings out the movement and personality that your child already has.
We mix the traditional "Senior Photo" type images with super creative images (and optional Sportraits for athletes/musicians) that tell the entire authentic story of who your Senior is.
Our Luxury Printed Artwork is elite. JB has been sampling and testing the best printed products in the world for over 15 years. From our Custom Senior Albums to our Canvas/Metal/Wood Wall Portraits, you can be assured that you are receiving a one-of-a-kind family heirloom that will last for generations.
Our Collections are between $699 and $2999 and we often have families who spend $4000+. All of our Senior Collections contain various combinations of luxury printed artwork.
We also have senior mini-sessions, starting at $500 and up. Contact us for details.
Pricing is flexible, depending on your specific wants and needs.
We have payment options available and you can start making payments ahead of your senior session.
- What makes SENIORITY Senior Pictures different?
-
The SENIORITY difference is JB and his heart for your teen.
30+ years of church ministry and coaching, on top of almost 20 years of photographing all over America and the majority of celebrities in the music industry have given him the rare combination of the best photography in Nashville- combined with the most encouraging and self-esteem building experience around.
JB is not just a photographer, he is an artist. What does that even mean? It means every image is a work of art, that is hand retouched by JB. With SENIORITY you are not getting images with the latest fad preset on them. You are getting a timeless piece of art that has a combination of that Hollywood/Celebrity flair- but, is also shot with A+ professional lighting and hand retouching in the classic styles of elite portraitists in history.
JB was able to study under the "Yoda" of the portrait industry and the "father of the wall portrait" Ken Whitmire in Yakima, WA before Papa Ken passed away. JB took away a lifetime of knowledge and ability to mix his influence from Hollywood and the music industry with the classical master work of Whitmire.
Why does our art look and feel different than all the rest? This is why.
- How many outfits can I wear during my Senior Pictures?
-
As many as you want! The SENIORITY experience is all about you. JB can help you plan if you need help. You are welcome to bring tons of clothes, hats, sunglasses, layers and shoes. While we are out on our senior experience, we often run into new locations with new colors and landscapes. The more outfits you have, the more we can collaborate during your big day and come up with the perfect creations you've been dreaming of! No limits.
- What kind of photos do I get with my Senior Pictures?
-
We have the largest lineup of both printed and digital artwork in Nashville available. We are passionate about giving you the best keepsakes available.

- Do you help with Graduation Cards?
-
Absolutely, Yes!

It's a super fun and powerful event that puts a period on Senior Year.
Jen can even help you find a professional printer for the cards and envelopes.
Graduation Announcements are included in some of our Senior Collections.
- Do I need to be tan to look good in my Nashville Senior Pictures?
-
No! You do not have to be tan. We have got you covered!
You simply let us know that you want your skin tone to be a little or a lot more tan and we can use our custom color grading and editing mastery to make it happen for you.
If being tan makes you feel confident, absolutely go for it! We want you to be you.
Many girls opt for a spray tan. Be sure to schedule your spray tan for the correct timing, so that it it thriving and healthy looking. You probably do not want to get on the same day as your Senior Pictures.
There is one thing that we would warn you about... sometimes trying to get "super tan" for your Franklin-area Senior Pictures can be a negative thing. You don't want your skin peeling or flaky or splotchy on shoot day. You also do not want to be sunburned for your big day!
We do a complimentary Zoom consultation before your Senior Portraits. We can discuss skin and tanning in detail during that talk!
- My son or daughter is an Athlete. When should we schedule our Nashville Senior Pictures?
-
Before your sports season!
This is huge and we will be elaborating more about this on our Blog.
In the meantime, text JB right away and set up a Consultation to plan!
