Alessa’s Retro Arcade Senior Photoshoot | Haltom City Senior Photographer

Alessa kicked off her senior year in the most epic way by choosing the All Season Senior Package (my BEST senior package!!!). With this package, we get to plan three completely unique sessions spread across the year, which means we capture every milestone: the excitement of August, homecoming, prom, and finally graduation.

For her first session, Alessa wanted something bold, fun, and totally her vibe: a retro-inspired photoshoot filled with Stranger Things energy, 80’s music nostalgia, and arcade magic. We headed to the Electric Starship Arcade in Haltom City, and let me tell you, this place was PERFECT. From neon lights and retro carpet to colorful murals and classic arcade games, every corner was a dream backdrop.

A Simple, Retro Styling Choice

To balance the bright arcade colors, Alessa went with a classic all-denim look with a white shirt, a styling choice that nailed the retro feel without overwhelming the scene. The denim-on-denim combo was such a smart way to keep her look timeless while letting the arcade’s personality shine through.

Styling Tip for Seniors:
If you’re dreaming of a photoshoot with a strong vibe—whether it’s retro, boho, glam, or even academic—we’ll style your session to fit that vision. Choosing simple, cohesive outfits lets the location and theme do the talking while keeping the focus on you.

Making Her Vision Come to Life

Alessa had a clear vision for her retro shoot, and I loved collaborating with her to bring it to life. From leaning on pinball machines, to playing DDR, to rocking round vintage glasses, she completely embodied the Stranger Things vibe she was going for.

Every detail from the neon glow to the Pac-Man murals helped tell her story in a way that was unique, vibrant, and authentically her.

Why the All Season Senior Package is the Best

This session was just the beginning for Alessa, we still had two more shoots planned throughout her senior year! That’s why the All Season Senior Package is my favorite option. It gives us the chance to capture every part of this once-in-a-lifetime year, instead of just one moment.
