What to Wear for Your Senior Photos
Your senior photos are all about capturing your personality, style, and this incredible milestone in your life. The right outfit choices can make your images timeless and authentically you. Here’s how to get it right:
1. Dress for You, Not the Trend
Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. While trends can be fun, timeless pieces ensure your photos still look great years from now.
2. Coordinate, Don’t Match
Solid colors or subtle patterns photograph beautifully. Avoid overly busy prints or large logos that might distract from you.
3. Think Variety
If you’re planning outfit changes, mix it up! Bring a casual look, something more formal, and a style that truly reflects your hobbies or passions.
4. Layer and Accessorize
Jackets, scarves, hats, and jewelry can change your look without a full outfit swap. Layers also add depth and texture in photos.
5. Consider the Season
Dress appropriately for the time of year—light, airy fabrics for summer; cozy sweaters for fall; rich tones for winter. Seasonal colors can make your images feel natural and in the moment.
How to Choose the Perfect Location
Your location sets the stage for your photos and tells part of your story. Let’s make sure it’s the right fit:
1. Match the Vibe
Think about the mood you want.
Urban & Bold – City streets, murals, coffee shops.
Nature & Scenic – Parks, trails, fields, mountain overlooks.
Sentimental & Personal – Your high school, favorite hangout, or a meaningful family spot.
2. Consider the Light
Great light makes great photos. Outdoor shoots often work best during the golden hour—the hour after sunrise or before sunset—when the light is warm and flattering.
3. Plan for Variety
Choose a location that offers multiple backgrounds within walking distance, so we can create a diverse gallery without wasting time traveling.
4. Keep Logistics in Mind
Stay within 25 miles of your high school for included travel. If you have a dream spot further away, we can make it happen—just note there may be a small travel fee.
5. Think About Comfort
Pick somewhere you feel relaxed and at ease. The more comfortable you are, the more natural and genuine your photos will be.
