There are many settings, such as local parks or even your own backyard, that make beautiful backdrops, and will make your portrait more personal and unique. Taking portraits of children outdoors can be especially fun because they love the fresh air and sunshine, and will often create their own special moments without much direction. High school seniors should also consider an outdoor setting in order to create a variety of backgrounds in their set of pictures. Even going to a local main street can be a great way to let them pose and bring out their own personalities. The options are quite special and really endless!
