1. Plan Your Outfits Ahead of Time
Choose 2–3 outfits that reflect your personality. Think about variety — one casual, one dressy, and maybe one that highlights a hobby, sport, or activity you love.
Pro tip: Avoid busy patterns or logos; solid colors and textured fabrics photograph beautifully.
2. Accessorize Thoughtfully
Accessories can bring your look together — a favorite necklace, hat, jacket, or even a prop that tells your story (like your instrument or sports gear). Keep it simple and true to your style.
3. Hair & Makeup
Go for a natural, polished look that feels like you. If you’re doing your own makeup, apply slightly more than your everyday look and blend well.
For guys: A fresh haircut a few days before your session works best.
4. Bring Touch-Up Essentials
Pack a small bag with items like powder, a brush, lip balm, hair ties, or a lint roller. A few quick touch-ups can make a big difference between shots.
5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
A little rest goes a long way — you’ll look fresh, relaxed, and ready to shine in your photos.

8. Celebrate the Moment
This is such a special milestone — enjoy it! Laugh, relax, and soak it all in. Your senior portraits should feel like you in your best light.
