There’s something extra special about choosing a senior photo location that’s part of what comes next. Brandon, a 2022 senior at Cicero-North Syracuse High School, chose the Syracuse University campus for his fall senior session—the same campus he’ll soon call home as a freshman at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Surrounded by SU’s iconic architecture and the beautiful fall colors of Central New York, we captured senior portraits that celebrate both the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

Fall Senior Photos in Central New York

Fall is one of my favorite seasons for outdoor senior photography in Syracuse. The changing leaves add warm oranges, yellows and reds to the background, while the cooler temperatures make walking around campus much more comfortable.

Brandon’s session landed at just the right time to take advantage of the fall foliage. The combination of autumn color and Syracuse University’s architecture gave the photos a classic Central New York feel while still keeping the focus on him.

Your senior session should feel like you. Whether that means photos on a college campus, around downtown Syracuse, surrounded by fall foliage or somewhere that has a personal connection to you, I’m always happy to help choose a location.
