GET EXCITED - your session is almost here!
Your senior session is such a special moment. It’s a chance to celebrate who you are right now and capture this once-in-a-lifetime season before graduation and all the exciting time ahead!
My goal is for your session to feel fun, relaxed, and completely natural — no awkward posing, no pressure, just a great experience that results in portraits you’ll love for years to come.
The tips below will help you feel fully prepared so you can show up confident, excited, and ready to enjoy every minute of your session.
What to Wear
It matters more than you think....
My photography style is bright, natural, and timeless, so the best outfits are ones that complement that look instead of distracting from it.
The goal is always for you to stand out — not the clothing.
Colors That Photograph Beautifully
Soft colors reflect light and create the bright, airy look you see throughout my work.
Great color choices include:
• Cream
• Soft white
• Light denim
• Dusty blue
• Blush pink
• Sage green
• Soft neutrals
What to Avoid
Some clothing choices can pull attention away from your face or photograph harshly in natural light.
Try to avoid:
• Neon colors
• Large logos or graphics
• Busy patterns
• Extremely dark colors
• Distracting textures
Simple clothing that fits well and is wrinkle free will always photograph the best.
TLDR
Timeless Is Always Best
Trends change quickly, but timeless pieces keep your portraits beautiful for years to come.
Great timeless options include:
• Simple dresses
• Neutral colors
• Classic denim
• Minimal jewelry
When in doubt, choose simple and classic.
Come Camera Ready
Arrive at your session with hair and makeup already finished so we can make the most of our time photographing.
Natural, polished makeup photographs beautifully and enhances your features without looking heavy.
Bring a few small items for quick touch-ups:
• Lip gloss or lipstick
• Powder to reduce shine
• A brush or comb
• Comfortable walking shoes if you're wearing heels
Keep Outfits Ready
Wrinkle-free clothing makes a big difference in photos. Keep outfits hung up or carefully folded until your session begins.
Helpful tips:
• Bring outfits on hangers if possible
• Choose clothing that fits well and feels comfortable
• Bring simple accessories if you'd like variety
If you're doing multiple outfits, we’ll move through them quickly and keep everything organized so the session flows smoothly.
Trust the Process
You don’t need any modeling experience. I will guide you through every pose and movement during your session.
A few simple things help photos look natural:
• Relax your shoulders and stand tall
• Turn slightly instead of facing the camera straight on
• Keep your hands moving naturally (hair, pockets, jacket, etc.)
The best photos happen when you stay relaxed, keep moving, and enjoy the experience.
