Senior Sessions: Your Story, Your Style, YOUR Moment!
🎓 Seniors, This Is YOUR Time to Shine! 🎓
Senior portrait sessions are all about capturing who YOU are—your beauty, style, and confidence. This is such a huge milestone, and your photos should reflect everything that makes you, you!
✨ What to Wear—Look & Feel Your Best! ✨
Your outfit should be something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and totally YOU! Try on your outfits beforehand to make sure they look and feel amazing. Avoid screen prints, big logos, or neon colors—they can distract from you! Instead, focus on pieces that complement your personality. Accessorize! That cute hat, those rocking heels, or that bold statement necklace? Bring them! Layers like a jean jacket, cardigan, or kimono also add depth to your photos.

💄 Getting Ready—Like It’s Prom Night!
These photos will last a lifetime, so put in that little extra effort to look and feel your best!
🌞 The Sun Factor: Wear sunscreen to avoid sunburns, limit sunglasses the week before (no awkward tan lines!), and watch for noticeable tan lines with your outfit.
💧 Skin & Nails: Hydrate all week for a fresh, glowing look, and don’t forget your lips—moisturize! Touch up chipped nails before your session.
👕 Clothing & Grooming:
✔ Iron your clothes! Wrinkles do show in photos.
✔ Don’t forget to shave or groom facial hair—whether clean-shaven or rocking a beard, a polished look is best.
✔ Girls—yes, check your armpits! 😆
🎒 Things to Bring for Last-Minute Touch-Ups:
💄 Chapstick or lip gloss
🖌 Hairbrush or comb
💨 Hairspray
📿 Long necklaces
🕶 Sunglasses
👗 A mix of casual and dressy outfits
🎓 Cap & gown with your tassel
Senior photos should be fun, unique, and all about YOU. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
