Senior Photography Session Tips

Clothing – The best advice is to just be YOU! Choose outfits that reflect your personality and that you’re comfortable in.

Make-up and Hair – Make-up should only be slightly heavier than normal. Also, avoid make-up with an SPF in it. Summer shine can be controlled by using transluent powder. Avoid changing your hairstyle or cutting your hair right before your session. Let it be natural.

Jewelry – Keep it simple. Big, shiny jewelry can distract from the real subject – YOU.

Props – BRING THEM! Bring things that help define who you are. Some popular choices are: sports equipment, uniforms, musical instruments, etc.

Sunburn/Tanning – Remember not to overdo your tanning. Skin that looks extremely dark or orange does not photograph well.

Complexion – We retouch blemishes, so don’t worry about breakouts! If you have severe acne, our personal preference is to retouch softly so that you still look like your amazing self. If you want heavier retouching, please let us know!

Pets – Pets are encouraged. It is a good idea to have someone bring the pet and then leave with them.

Friends & Parents – Friends and parents are welcome. They can be a help!

Tattoos & Scars – Just let us know if you want tattoos to show or not. Scars are not automatically retouched, but can be removed or softened at your request.

Weather – If it rains, don’t worry about it! We can simply reschedule. Weather happens!

Undergarments – Please bring appropriate foundation wear for each outfit. Don’t wear flowered undergarments with white pants, for example. Flesh colored is the best you can hope for.

Fingers & Toe Nails – If your nails have the paint chipped off, it will show. Many casual shots are done barefoot, so don’t forget about those toes! Avoid really bright colors. Natural or basic works best.
