Choose the right photographer:
It's important to choose a photographer who you feel comfortable with and who understands your vision.

Plan your outfits:
Your outfits should reflect your personal style and make you feel confident. Choose colors and styles that flatter your skin tone and body shape. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and textures to create a unique look.
For Girls:
GO FOR SOLID COLORS
Go for bold and beautiful! Solid colors are where it's at! Leave those busy patterns at home, they tend to steal the show. Stick with neutral hues like black, white, navy, and grey for a timeless and chic look. These colors are the perfect backdrop for your gorgeous smile and stunning features.
DRESS IT UP
Get glam and gorgeous! Dress to impress with a stunning sundress, flowy maxi, or a chic skirt and blouse combo. Add a touch of sophistication and class to your photos. Or, go all out with a formal dress for a chic and sophisticated look that'll have everyone talking.
ADD A LITTLE YOU
Add some pizzazz to your pics! Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Jewelry, hats, scarves, and other fun finds - bring 'em all! Make your photos pop by incorporating pieces that show off your personal style. Don't be shy - bring along family heirlooms or special trinkets to add meaning and depth to your shots. These little touches will make your photos uniquely YOU!
For Boys:
SUIT UP
A sharp suit or sport coat can give your photos a mature and sophisticated look. Opt for classic colors like navy or grey, and don't be afraid to mix and match textures like wool and tweed. You'll be the sharpest-dressed senior in town!
DRESS LIKE YOU
A well-fitted pair of jeans paired with a button-down shirt or a sweater can give your photos a casual, yet stylish vibe. Roll up your sleeves, or leave 'em down - it's all up to you! You'll look cool and comfortable in every shot, or Show off your preppy style with a classic polo shirt, khaki pants, and sneakers. You'll look fresh, clean, and ready to take on the world!"
ADD A LITTLE YOU
Step up your style game with accessories! Slip on a watch, top it off with a hat, or bring along a fun prop to add some personality to your photos. Make your photos totally you by incorporating things that show off your unique style. Whether it's a favorite jersey, quirky props, or just a cool accessory, have fun and let your individuality shine!
Consider hair and makeup:
Hair and makeup can play a big role in your photos, so plan accordingly. If you're doing your own makeup, practice beforehand to find the right look. Consider hiring a professional hairstylist and makeup artist to help you achieve the perfect look.
Think about locations:
Your senior photo shoot can take place in multiple locations, so think about places that have meaning to you or that you find aesthetically pleasing. Choose a location that will help showcase your personality, and what YOU like. Some seniors like an old school building and downtown feel. Some like a beachy vibe and others like a classic field or fall leaves photo.
Bring props:
Props can add a fun and personalized touch to your photos. Think about things that are meaningful to you, like your favorite sports equipment, musical instrument, or book. Don't be afraid to get creative! The more YOU the better. Things you want to remember down the road, your passions, and things that excite you.
Relax and have fun:
The most important thing is to relax and have fun! Remember that this is a time to celebrate your accomplishments and showcase your unique style. Enjoy the process and let your personality shine through.
