Styling Tips for Your Senior Photography Session
Okay, senior, let’s talk about your big photo session! This is your time to shine and capture who you are right now, so you want to feel confident, comfortable, and totally you in front of the camera. Styling is a huge part of making sure your photos look amazing, and I’ve got some tips to help you choose the perfect outfits that’ll make your senior photos pop. Let’s dive in!
1. Let Your Personality Shine
This is your shoot, so let your true self come through in what you wear! Whether you’re all about that boho vibe with a flowy dress or love the laid-back look with your favorite denim jacket, choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Your style is unique, and we’re here to capture it!
2. Think About the Vibe of Your Location
Where we shoot matters! If we’re heading outdoors, think soft, relaxed looks with earthy tones or pretty pastels. If we’re hitting an urban spot, let’s go for something a bit bolder—like a leather jacket or your fave graphic tee. The location will help set the tone, but you want to wear something that reflects your personal style.
3. Keep It Simple with Patterns
While a little pattern can be fun, you don’t want anything too crazy or distracting. We want to keep the focus on you, not your outfit. Stick to solid colors or simple patterns like stripes or tiny florals that won’t take away from your gorgeous face. Trust me, solid colors photograph beautifully!
4. Make Sure It Fits Just Right
The best outfits are the ones that fit you perfectly—not too tight, not too loose. You want to feel relaxed, so go for clothes that make you feel like you can move freely and confidently. Think about how you’ll look sitting, standing, and walking—let’s pick clothes that flatter and feel good.
5. Add a Few Fun Accessories
Accessories are the perfect way to add a little extra flair to your outfit. Whether it’s a cool necklace, a favorite hat, or a bracelet you wear every day—those little details can take your outfit to the next level. Just remember: less is more! Keep it simple, and let your personality shine through.
6. Shoes Matter, Too!
Comfort is key when it comes to shoes—especially since we’ll be walking and moving around during your session! You don’t have to wear heels (unless you want to), but make sure your shoes match your vibe. Sneakers, boots, or even sandals work great depending on where we’re shooting.
7. Keep Hair and Makeup Natural (But Be You!)
This shoot is all about capturing you, so let your natural beauty shine! If you like to keep things minimal with your makeup, that’s awesome—go for a natural, fresh look. But if you love the full glam vibe, feel free to go for it. Just make sure you feel like yourself, and we’ll make sure your hair and makeup look amazing.
8. Bring Multiple Outfit Options
Can’t decide between two outfits? Bring both! Having a couple of options gives you more variety, and we can mix it up throughout the session. I recommend at least three outfits: something comfy and casual, something a little dressier, and something that just screams “this is so me!”
9. Check the Weather (Just in Case!)
We want to make sure you’re comfortable during your session, so be sure to check the weather before we meet. If it’s chilly, bring a cute jacket or sweater—if it’s hot, we’ll go for something breezy. Layers are always a good idea, just in case!
10. Don’t Forget the Details
Little things like freshly painted nails, clean shoes, and your favorite jewelry can make a big difference in how your photos look. Make sure you’re looking fresh and put-together before your session, and we’ll handle the rest!
Your senior session is all about celebrating YOU—your style, your personality, and your journey. So, let’s make sure you look and feel amazing while we capture these memories!
