Senior Photo Style Advice
Your senior photos should be a timeless reflection of who you are at this exciting stage in life. Choosing the right outfits can make all the difference in how you feel and how your photos turn out. When selecting your wardrobe, it's best to stay away from bright colors, which can be distracting and take the focus off you. Instead, opt for neutral, earthy, or muted tones that complement your skin and create a classic, elegant look. Think soft blues, warm beiges, deep greens, and classic whites—colors that will stand the test of time.
Another important tip is to avoid clothing with large logos, bold graphics, or loud patterns. While these might be fun in everyday life, they often overpower your photos. Instead, choose pieces with texture and movement, such as lace, knit, linen, or flowy fabrics. Dresses or skirts that catch the wind, layered outfits, or soft denim can add beautiful depth and visual interest to your images.
To create variety in your senior session, I always recommend bringing two outfits: one dressy and one casual. Your formal look could be a dress, a blazer with slacks, or something a little more polished, while your casual outfit should feel comfortable yet put-together—like a favorite pair of jeans and a stylish top, or a flowy sundress. This combination gives you a nice balance of classic and relaxed images to choose from.
Adding simple props can also make your photos feel more personal and meaningful. If you play an instrument, bring it along. If you're an athlete, your jersey or sports gear can add a unique touch. Even small details like a favorite book, a hat, or a sentimental piece of jewelry can make your session feel more authentically you.
Above all, confidence is key. The best outfit is the one that makes you feel amazing! If you feel good in what you're wearing, it will show in your photos. Ready to book your senior session? Let’s capture this incredible moment in a way that truly represents you!
