Your senior year is one of the most memorable seasons of your life—and your senior photos should reflect just that. Whether you're gearing up for yearbook portraits, announcements, or family keepsakes, these photos capture who you are right now. The key? Show up prepared, confident, and dressed to shine. Here’s how to make the most of your session.

👕 What to Wear

Choosing the right outfit can elevate your photos and help your personality shine through. Here are a few tried-and-true tips:

1. Keep It Classic

Trendy is fun—but timeless is forever. Solid colors, clean lines, and classic styles photograph beautifully and won’t look outdated years down the road.

2. Bring Options

Plan 2–3 outfits:

• One casual (like jeans and a nice top)
• One dressy (think formal or semi-formal wear)
• One that reflects you (sports uniform, band outfit, or hobby gear)

3. Coordinate, Don’t Match

If you're taking group shots (like with teammates or friends), coordinate your colors rather than wearing the exact same thing. Neutrals and earth tones photograph especially well outdoors.

4. Avoid Distracting Patterns

Busy prints and logos can steal the spotlight. Stick with solid colors or simple textures to keep the focus on your face.

5. Think About Location

Match your outfit to your setting. If we’re shooting on a sports field, sneakers and your varsity jacket are perfect. Studio session? A crisp button-down or sleek dress looks great.

📸 How to Prepare

Even the best outfit can’t help if you’re feeling rushed or unready. These tips will help you walk into your session confident and calm:

1. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Tired eyes and low energy show up in photos. Rest well the night before and hydrate the day of your shoot.

2. Practice Natural Smiles

You don’t need to “cheese.” Think of something funny or bring a friend to keep things light. Natural smiles make for the best shots.

3. Prep Hair & Makeup Ahead of Time

If you’re doing your own hair and makeup, do a trial run a few days before. Avoid trying anything new the day of your shoot. And bring a brush and powder for touch-ups!

4. Bring Props or Gear That Matter

Your guitar, helmet, books, or team jersey—these props tell your story and make your photos even more personal.

5. Trust Your Photographer
