What to Wear for Senior Photos | The Two Most Important Factors

Choosing an outfit for your senior photo session can seem stressful but it really needn’t be.  My recommendation is to bring two outfits.  One that is more casual and a second that is a little dressier.  The key with both outfits is to choose clothing that you feel comfortable in and that fits you well.  I have a lot of other tips on my website but what it really boils down to are those two important factors.

My photo session with Allyson is a perfect example of choosing clothes that you feel good in and fit well.  As you can see, she is a beauty.  I love the colors she chose for her shoot.  The soft blue top looked great against this woodsy backdrop and her magenta dress really popped.  Allyson’s choices were just perfect and gave us a nice variety of looks.

Of course there are other things to consider and like I said, I have all those details here.  But once you think within the framework of something casual (think hanging out with friends) and something a bit more dressy (what you’d wear to a party or dance), you’ll realize it’s not so hard.

Am I the only one NOT ready for Christmas decor yet? 🍂

I’m still enjoying fall colors, pumpkins, and gold candles. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Thanksgiving is next week!

I just want to enjoy this season a bit longer before the twinkle lights take over.

Tell me I’m not alone — are you already decorating for Christmas or savoring fall with me? 🤎

Want to know a secret? I’m a big believer in taking little check-in breaks during my branding shoots. It’s a chance for you to catch your breath, see a few images on the back of the camera, and make sure everything feels on track. I want you to love how you look and feel during your session, so these quick pauses help us tweak anything—from hair to posing to the overall vibe. It keeps things relaxed, fun, and totally you.

Ready to get photos you actually love? Let’s get your session booked!
