The day is almost here; your moment to shine is coming. But first…..

You need to figure out what to wear.

When choosing an outfit for your senior pictures, it's important to consider a few factors: your personal style, the location of the photoshoot, the season, anything important you want to showcase. Here are some general tips to help you decide what to wear to your senior picture session:

1. Showcase Your Personality: Senior pictures are a reflection of who you are during this important stage of your life. Wear outfits that represent your unique style and personality. Be yourself and choose clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable.

2. Variety: You'll likely have multiple outfit changes during the photoshoot, so plan for a variety of looks. Prepare a few different looks, including casual, formal, and maybe something that represents your hobbies or interests. Wearing layers can also help bring variety.

3. Keep It Simple: Avoid busy patterns or large logos that could distract from your face. Simplicity can often lead to more timeless and elegant photographs. Opt for solid colors versus patterned clothing. Earth tones (white, tan, green, blue, etc) and jewel tones (sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple, emerald green, etc) both photograph beautifully.

4. Accessories: Add some accessories to enhance your outfit and add a personal touch. Simple jewelry, a watch, scarves, or hats can elevate your look.

5. Grooming Matters: Pay attention to grooming details like getting a fresh haircut, manicure, and ensuring your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free.
