Northmont High School Senior Pictures Taken In Downtown Dayton
May 23, 2024
Oregon District
I photographed my first Northmont High School senior pictures session last summer. Although he goes to school in Englewood, Ohio he wanted urban senior photos as well as photos at Northmont High School’s baseball field. We started the senior session in Dayton’s historic Oregon District, working our way through the streets. To change it up for him, we exited 5th Street and turned south on Patterson Boulevard. There is a beautiful mural wall that we used for photos right behind the BBQ restaurant. His outfit worked perfectly with the colors in the mural.
As a lot of kids are right now, he was into vinyl records. We had arranged permission with Omega Music on the west end of the Oregon District. Spending just 5 minutes in the store, I captured some nice shots of him checking out various album covers. For the next half hour, we walked east on 5th creating Dayton-specific senior photos that he and his family wanted.
Northmont High School
I was looking forward to the second half at the high school.
We then traveled to the west side of Northmont High School where he was a student. Wearing his baseball jersey, he created several baseball-related poses for me. I love suggestions, and I took his. From that point, I tweaked these to make the best senior photos I could. This session was somewhat tough because he was wearing jeans. I tried to take most of the photos from the waist up to sell the idea of him on the baseball team. Either way, the photos turned out great. Next time someone wants to incorporate a sport, I will suggest a full uniform.
The senior and his parents were thrilled with the photos, and that is what matters most. I love seeing the work I created and making things even better for the next high school senior session. This is how’s I have stayed in business since 2007.
I hope to be hired to create even more Northmont High School senior pictures! My most recent senior photo session was for Urbana Ohio senior photos.
Englewood, Ohio, home to Northmont, is an excellent location for senior photos because it offers a mix of natural scenery, small-town charm, and convenient access to a variety of backdrops without having to travel far. In addition to the high school, Englewood MetroPark makes a great place to do nature-based senior pictures. It doesn’t offer a ton of variety, but it gets the job done. The small downtown area at Main Street and National Road provides several backdrops especially in the historic Main Street area.
A Northmont Football Stadium Photo Idea
At another senior session, we were photographing inside the football stadium. We went on a day that the stadium was open for exercise. I placed the senior at the 50 yard line and flew my drone high into the air. That student now has aerial photos of himself on the football field that most others do not. My commercial drone license allowed me to fly that day. I loved the way this idea turned out.
