Outfit Tips
What to Wear and How to Prep for your Senior Photo Shoot
I recommend choosing anywhere from 2-4 of these categories and find outfits accordingly. This creates a beautiful array of looks that are completely different! Also, plan ahead so you aren’t stressed the day of.
Be comfortable – My number one recommendation is to wear something you know you look good in. Being uncomfortable will show in your portraits and make you uneasy throughout the shoot, trust me.
-
Express Yourself – Don’t be afraid to be bold and wear something you wouldn’t normally wear in day-to-day life or at school. Sometimes outfits that might look kind of weird or bold in normal life… photograph really well. Your senior shoot is all about capturing who and where you are in life at this moment – so wear something that goes along with that. This will lead to the best and most personal photos. Sometimes some of my seniors will be a little hesitant to break the norms and bring something a little out of the ordinary, but from my experience, these pictures become a few of their favorites and are the most fun to shoot in.
-
Accessorize – Adding pieces like dangle earrings, long necklaces, statement necklaces, bracelets, rings, floppy hats, flower crowns, headbands, and scarves make ALL the difference. In the colder months, cute hats, scarves, and gloves add so much personality!! You can always take things off, and it’s better to have more, than not enough. Guys, shoes are a big thing along with hats as well.
-
Add layers – Adding layers looks amazing in portraits! Wearing cardigans, sweaters, vests, jackets, overlaid shirts, and more makes your photos so much more fun and interesting. Additionally, it gives you more posing options and some place to put your HANDS (the never-ending problem)! For example, if you wear a sweater or jacket over a shirt, you can put your hands on the zipper part of your jacket, or in the pockets, which are two whole new poses that you wouldn’t have otherwise! Adding layers also means that you can REMOVE layers to create even more looks.
-
Play with texture and pattern – Adding texture creates dimension and makes your photos much more interesting. Things like fur, sequins, knit sweaters, wool, and leather photograph so well! Some of these might seem “daring,” but they look great in photos. And that myth stating how you should only stick with solid colors is so wrong!! Patterns look really good, so feel free to play around with that!
