The Class of 2026 is ready to step into the spotlight, and senior portraits are no longer just about “smile at the camera and hope for the best.” They’re about telling your story, capturing your vibe, and creating images you’ll still love 20 years from now. Whether you’re going for timeless elegance, bold creativity, or something totally outside the box, here are the top trends taking senior portraits to the next level this year.

1. Personalized Themes That Tell Your Story

Gone are the days of cookie-cutter backgrounds. Seniors are bringing props, outfits, and locations that show off their passions.
🎓 Love music? Bring your guitar or your band hoodie.
⚽ Soccer star? Let’s hit the field with your jersey and game ball.
🎨 Artist? Your portraits can be as creative as your canvas.
Your photos should scream you, not generic senior picture.

2. Editorial & Magazine-Inspired Looks

Think Vogue meets yearbook. High-fashion poses, bold lighting, and stylized outfits are making their way into senior portraits. Oversized blazers, monochrome fits, dramatic backdrops—if it looks like it belongs in a glossy magazine, it’s in.

3. Nature Is Back (But Make It Cinematic)

Outdoor portraits are timeless, but the 2026 spin is all about cinematic tones and moody lighting. Golden hour is king, and even cloudy days can bring an atmospheric look. Parks, wildflower fields, and even gritty urban alleyways are serving major main-character energy.

4. Retro Revival

From vintage cars to thrift-store finds, retro-inspired portraits are hot right now. The ‘70s warm tones, ‘90s grunge, and early 2000s Y2K vibes are all making appearances. Bonus points for retro sunglasses or Polaroid-style edits.

5. Multiple Outfit Changes = Multiple Vibes

Why choose between sporty, glam, and casual when you can have all three? Outfit variety is the easiest way to give your final gallery range and personality.

6. Creative Editing & Filters

Light flares, double exposure, black-and-white drama—edits are becoming part of the art form. Many seniors are asking for both clean, classic images and a set with bold, creative effects.

7. Legacy Pieces for the Future

Senior portraits are an investment, and 2026 grads are leaning toward products they can keep forever—framed wall portraits, heirloom albums, and high-quality prints. A digital gallery is nice, but holding your senior portrait in your hands? That’s next-level.

🎉 Bonus: August & September Special

If you book your Class of 2026 senior portraits in August or September, your session fee is completely waived—whether you choose a studio session or on-location shoot. That’s more budget for outfits, hair, makeup… or those epic wall portraits your parents will brag about forever.

Ready to Create Your Senior Story?

Your senior year is a big deal—it’s the grand finale of one chapter and the opening credits of the next. At Dos Kiwis Studio, we don’t just take photos; we capture the energy, personality, and spark that make you, well… you.

📅 Now booking Class of 2026 sessions—grab your August or September spot before they’re gone!

Let’s face it—summer in San Antonio isn’t just hot, it’s “fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk” hot. And unless you want your makeup sliding off your face or your teenager squinting into the sun like a confused meerkat, an indoor studio portrait is the way to go.

At Dos Kiwis Studio, the A/C is always cranking, the lighting is perfect no matter the time of day, and best of all—no mosquitoes! That’s right: we shoot studio portraits year-round, at any time of day, with perfect conditions and zero sunburn.

Two Looks, Twice the Fun

We offer two outfit changes during your studio session. Go full “dressed to the nines” glam—think suit, dress, heels, pearls, or your best “I’ve got my life together” look. Then switch gears into something casual: jeans, sneakers, favorite t-shirt, maybe even that college hoodie you secretly want them to live in forever.

Because if your kid is heading off to college this fall, this might be your last chance to capture them at home, looking clean, presentable, and not living off ramen noodles. You’ll thank us later when you're staring at that portrait on the wall, whispering “I miss you, laundry pile and all.”

What to Wear (So You Don’t Have to Text Us at Midnight)

• For the dressed-up look: Solid colors always win. Black is classic, jewel tones are rich, and neutrals are timeless. Avoid patterns that look like optical illusions.

• For the casual look: Keep it authentic—this is the “real life” you’ll want to remember. (Just maybe skip the ketchup-stained hoodie from last week’s Whataburger run.)

• Shoes: Yes, we will see them in full-length shots. Yes, socks should match. Yes, we know you need to check the bottom for gum.

Why Book Now?

Simple: Immediate sales session. We show you your images right after your shoot, so you don’t have to wait weeks to fall in love. You’ll be able to pick your favorites, order prints, and walk out with your portraits in motion. (Well, not literally in motion, unless you order a GIF.)

So whether you're celebrating a milestone, saying goodbye to your college-bound kid, or just want a great photo where everyone looks good and nobody’s sweating—a studio session at Dos Kiwis is the way to go.

Call us now at 210.735.5555 to book your air-conditioned, wardrobe-flexing, memory-freezing session.
Come dressed to impress…and maybe bring snacks for the emotional mom moment. We get it.

Let’s talk about corporate events—you know, the conferences, trade shows, galas, expos, and those team-building summits with slightly-too-enthusiastic icebreakers.

You put in the work. You booked the venue, wrangled speakers, coordinated logistics, printed 500 lanyards, and maybe even sprung for the deluxe coffee station. (Living large!) So why would you trust documenting it all to someone’s intern with an iPhone?

That’s where we come in.

At Dos Kiwis Studio, we specialize in professional event photography that captures the heart of your event—the buzz, the branding, the connection, the candid laughs, and yes, even the awkward buffet line. Our job is to make sure that every meaningful, marketable, and memorable moment is beautifully preserved and delivered.

What We Cover:

✅ Keynote speakers mid-mic-drop
✅ Panel discussions and audience engagement
✅ VIP meet-and-greets and networking gold
✅ Booth activity and brand activation
✅ Behind-the-scenes prep and team action
✅ Cocktail hours, dinners, and the occasional dance floor surprise
✅ Step & repeat photo ops (we know how to wrangle a line)

From full-day conventions to multi-day conferences, we’re your behind-the-scenes ninja crew—minus the throwing stars, but with the camera gear and fast reflexes.

💡 Bonus: Add a Headshot Station

Want to really wow your attendees? We can set up a professional headshot station right at your event.

It’s a huge hit with guests and adds serious value—perfect for:

• Employee updates

• LinkedIn glow-ups

• Conference swag with real ROI

We'll handle the setup, lighting, posing, and retouching. You’ll look like a rockstar for offering it—and your attendees will thank you every time they book a new job with their fresh new look.

Why It Matters:

Professional event photography does more than look good.
It fuels your entire marketing pipeline:

• Social media content that actually gets engagement

• Website updates that show you’re legit and active

• Press releases & media kits that stand out

• Internal communications that boost morale

• Future event promos that don’t rely on sad stock images

And the kicker? We turn around images quickly, so you can post highlights while the applause is still echoing.

The Dos Kiwis Difference:

We don’t just show up and snap photos. We work with your team ahead of time to understand your agenda, your brand, and your priorities. Need us to focus on sponsors? Done. Want polished images for a post-event deck? We’ve got you. Need us to pretend we don’t see that one exec sneaking out during the last breakout session? Your secret’s safe with us.

Ready to Book?

Whether it’s 100 guests or 10,000, we’re ready to capture it all—without disrupting the flow or photobombing your CEO.

🎅 Santa Is Coming to Kiwi Kids! (And He Smells Like Peppermint and Magic) 🎄
Mark your calendars: November 22, 2025 — and VIP booking starts soon!

It’s that time of year again, when the elves are double-knotting their curly-toed shoes, Mariah Carey is defrosting, and your child’s Christmas list has mysteriously expanded to include a pony, a hoverboard, and “one million dollars.” You know what that means—Santa is coming to Kiwi Kids at Dos Kiwis Studio on November 22, 2025, and he’s bringing the full North Pole vibe.

But let’s be clear:
This isn’t just a photo shoot. This is the Santa Experience.

From the second your kiddo walks into our studio, they’re stepping into a holiday wonderland that smells like cookies and sounds like giggles. They’ll chat with the Big Guy himself, tell him their biggest wishes (and maybe a few secrets), and you’ll get portraits that are as magical as they are frame-worthy.

✨ There will be smiles. There may be snow. There will definitely be marshmallows involved.
📸 We’ll capture every moment—from wide-eyed wonder to Santa high-fives.

💰 What’s the Cost?

The Santa Experience/session fee is $150, and that covers the magic, the memories, and the time with Santa.
Products (prints, digitals, packages, etc.) are purchased separately, because we know everyone has different wishlist needs—from Grandma’s mantle to your holiday cards to that 5x7 you always forget to frame but swear you'll hang up this year.

👗 What Should They Wear?

We’re glad you asked!

• Go fancy with their Sunday best (hello, mini fashion icons).

• Keep it classic with festive T-shirts (Team Rudolph, anyone?).

• Or go full cozy mode in matching Christmas pajamas (we fully support sibling sets and reindeer antlers).

The vibe is up to you—just bring the joy, and we’ll do the rest.

🗓 Important Dates:

• VIP Early Booking (Clients from Past Years): You get first dibs! Watch your email like a hawk with a hot cocoa.

• General Booking Opens: August 18, 2025 — once those time slots are gone, they’re gone faster than Santa up the chimney.

Whether it’s your baby’s first “what is this beard??” moment or your big kid’s annual photo with their holiday hero, this is the tradition you’ll look back on and smile (and maybe cry a little because they grow too fast, dang it).

Spots are limited. The memories? Unlimited.

Let’s be honest—first impressions matter, and in the world of LinkedIn, that first impression is your headshot. Before anyone reads your experience, your headline, or your carefully crafted "About" section, they see you. So what is your profile picture really saying?

At Dos Kiwis Studio in San Antonio, we specialize in creating standout LinkedIn headshots that help you put your best face forward—literally.

Why Your LinkedIn Headshot Matters

In a sea of selfies, cropped group shots, and outdated photos, a professional headshot can be the difference between being scrolled past or clicked on. A strong image communicates confidence, approachability, and professionalism. It says, “I'm ready for opportunity.”

Studies show that LinkedIn profiles with professional photos get up to 21 times more profile views and 36 times more messages. Think of it as your personal logo—one that speaks volumes before you even say a word.

How Dos Kiwis Studio Elevates Your Image

We don’t do cookie-cutter. Every LinkedIn headshot session at Dos Kiwis Studio is tailored to reflect your industry, personality, and career goals. Whether you're an executive, a freelancer, a recent grad, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you strike the right tone.

• Expert Posing Guidance – No need to practice in the mirror. We guide you through natural, flattering poses that convey both warmth and professionalism.

• Studio Lighting Perfection – Great lighting doesn’t just make you look good—it makes you look credible.

• Fast Turnaround – We know job hunting and networking don’t wait. You’ll have polished, ready-to-upload images in no time.

• Multiple Looks – Want one for LinkedIn and one for your company bio or website? We’ve got you covered.

Boost Your Online Presence

Your LinkedIn profile is your digital handshake. Whether you’re job hunting, building a personal brand, or networking in your industry, your photo is often your first introduction. A professional headshot can:

✅ Increase engagement on your posts
✅ Make recruiters stop and actually read your resume
✅ Position you as confident and capable
✅ Make your profile memorable

It’s More Than Just a Picture. It’s Your Brand.
