Surely, you want your senior pictures taken by a professional and skilled photographer who fits your vision and style. For that, it’s important that you opt for a photographer you connect with.
Everyone wants to be photographed by someone who can reflect the personal style of their subject through their portraits. My aim is to showcase your natural persona with a dash of spice in each picture I take. The end goal is to present you with photos that encapsulate your charisma, memories, personality and details.
In order to get the best possible portraits and experience, I will share some tips that can help you prepare beforehand for a great photoshoot experience.
Pick Outfits That Make A Statement
I want to capture pictures of you in different attires, so your senior session portfolio includes a collection of diverse looks. Ranging from laid back to regular to chic and even formal - you should have clothes all set for each look. Don’t forget to layer it up by adding jackets or scarves. Add a little punch to your portraits by selecting something vibrant and trendy. Solid colors and small patterns photograph better than bold patterns.
Having said that, make sure you’re comfortable in whichever outfits you’re planning to wear. So, go for clothes that best fit your comfort, make you look confident, and make you feel good about yourself!
Don't Forget The Accessories
Who doesn’t love some accessories that compliment your clothes? Coordinating the right accessories with your outfit can transform your overall appearance into a super stylish one. Pair the dress with your beloved comfy shoes or stylish heels that accentuate your legs. Just don’t hold back! Add a flair to the image by utilizing accessories such as: trendy shades, fashionable jewelry, funky scarves, and cool hats.
Style Your Hair The Way You Always Do
Here, I want you to play a bit safe. Wear your hair the way you know will help enhance your look. It isn’t the best time to experiment with your hair too much and have your pictures taken in a hairstyle you could potentially regret later. The memories captured in pictures are eternal. You may not wish to keep pictures for a lifetime where a drastic difference in your appearance is a little too obvious. However, if you’re adamant about trying out a fresh and trendy look, consult a proper hairstylist who can facilitate you in this regard.
Last But Not Least: Take Care Of Your Skin
Focus on two key tasks before the senior photo session takes place: hydrating yourself and staying indoors to avoid exposure to the sun. Sunburns and tan lines are extremely visible in pictures, so make sure to stay out of the sun as much as you can. Also, ladies, whether your personal preference allows for it or not, makeup is important. If you don't normally wear makeup, at least apply some essentials like a foundation of your skin tone and a little lip gloss. Trust us to guide you through the process.
