Consider Color

Use this shoot as an opportunity to have a little bit of fun with your outfits + colors! On camera, solid black + white can make skin tones look washed out and unflattering. When choosing outfits for your senior session, try to choose colors that POP and that compliment your hair + skin tones! 

Play with Textures

Sometimes textures like feathers, furs and 3D florals can be considered too extra…but, in portraits, they are the BEST!

Add Accessories + Props

T’m a huge fan of statement earrings, a bright lip color, a super fun shoe, colorful bags, floppy sun hats…ALL of these things give us so much more variety with posing + create such beautiful pictures! 

Also feel free to incorporate your favorite sports, car, or letterman jacket!

Variety in Outfits

When planning your outfits, make sure that you have a VARIETY of looks! I tell

all of my seniors to choose from these categories: casual, cozy, dressy, school- related, sports-related, preppy or edgy. I always recommend choosing 3-4 of those categories and finding outfits accordingly.

Hair and Makeup

If it is in your budget, hiring a professional for your hair and makeup will make a huge difference in the quality of your photos and senior portrait experience. If not I recommend putting on a heavier amount of blush, lipstick, and makeup so you do not look washed out in pictures. Don't forget to pamper your nails and be careful of spray tans and having streaks on your arms/legs.
