Senior Portrait Tips: How to Prepare for Your Session

Your senior portraits are a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. A little preparation will help you feel confident, relaxed, and ready to create images you'll love.

Choose Outfits You Love

Bring 2–4 outfits that reflect your personality and style. Include a mix of casual, dressy, and something that feels uniquely you. Don't forget shoes and accessories!

Bring Something Meaningful

Sports gear, musical instruments, a favorite jacket, car, hobby, or other personal items can make your portraits more meaningful and uniquely yours.

Plan Your Hair & Makeup

Whether you're doing your own or hiring a professional, choose a look that feels like you—just a little elevated. If you're getting a haircut, schedule it about a week before your session.

Don't Worry About Posing

You don't need to know how to pose. I'll guide you through flattering poses and natural movement throughout your session. Your only job is to relax and have fun.

Get Some Rest

Get a good night's sleep, drink plenty of water, and give yourself plenty of time to get ready. Arriving relaxed makes a huge difference.

Most Importantly, Be Yourself

Your senior portraits should capture your personality, your style, and this moment in your life. Don't worry about being perfect. Let's create photographs that feel genuine, beautiful, and completely you.
