Tips To Help You Stand Out in Styling Your Senior Photos.

Let’s help you style your senior photos and enhance your photos to capture to absolute best version of yourself.

Here are 3 tips to help you STAND OUT in your senior photos:

Epic wardrobe

Or at least 1 epic outfit! Your clothing really does matter. It doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune, I promise. But think about it…. this is your time to shine, and curate your look. Have at least one of your outfits be a statement piece that you feel amazing in. But actually, have this favorite outfit be your SECOND outfit….why? Because we want your more relaxed smiles, etc to be in the outfit that you feel the best in, and in the first outfit, we will be getting relaxed with each other and warming up to the best of the best confident smiles!

There are a few important elements to note when creating your outfits. Think layers, textures, and accessories. To learn more about styling your senior photos, visit this blog post! The following photos are great examples of layers, and textures!!

Styling your senior photos – think layers and texture!

Movement

Movement in your senior photos helps you to relax and ultimately causes the photos to appear more “chill”, rather than looking posed. Plus it’s fun! It may feel a bit weird to move around for photos but I will walk you through every step of the way, including posing, and I promise it will not look weird.

Hair & Makeup

Have your hair and makeup done by a professional. Makeup is often softened by photography. It’s important to go a little bolder on contouring the face, and with lashes, lips etc. A professional makeup artist will know how to get you camera ready but you’ll still look like yourself!

These tips will help you stand out during your senior session yet be uniquely you!

I can’t wait to work with you!
