Senior Photography Session:

A Quick Preparation Guide


Getting ready for your senior photography session is exciting! It's your chance to capture the essence of your achievements and personality in a series of professional photographs. Here's a quick guide to help you prepare for a session that captures your unique style and personality.


Best Time of Day

  • - Like all photo sessions, the "golden hour," just after sunrise or before sunset, provides soft, warm lighting that can add a magical touch to your photos. We prefer just before sunset.
  • - Midday sun can create harsh shadows, so if your session is scheduled around this time, look for shaded areas or indoor locations with good natural light.


Clothing Suggestions

  • - Choose outfits that reflect your style and personality. Bring a mix of casual and formal wear to add variety to your shots.
  • - Consider the location of your shoot and select clothing that complements the surroundings.
  • - Solid colors work well on camera, and layers can add depth and interest.
  • - Bring a variety of clothing options, including both casual and more formal attire, to add diversity to your photo shoot.
  • - Avoid clothing with large logos or any busy patterns that can distract from your face. Additionally, there is a phenomenon called the moire' effect. It occurs when two patterns with similar but not identical details overlap, creating a third pattern that can appear as wavy or distorted lines. This visual phenomenon is often seen in digital images and can be both a fascinating display of interference patterns and a nuisance in photography and printing.
  • - Be sure to iron out any creases or wrinkles, especially those gowns and stoles!
  • - Haircuts should be about one week prior to the photo session.


What to Bring

  • - Accessories can add a pop of color and show off your personal style. Think hats, scarves, or a favorite piece of jewelry.
  • - Props that represent your hobbies or achievements, like musical instruments or sports gear, can personalize your session.
  • - Don't forget essentials like a hairbrush, makeup for touch-ups, and comfortable shoes for walking between locations.
  • - Comfortable shoes, especially if you'll be walking between shoot locations.
  • -We love it when you bring your four-legged best friend
  • - A friend or family member for moral support and to help you relax and have fun during the session.



Remember, the most important thing is to relax and have fun. This is your moment to shine!

We hope this guide helps you feel prepared and excited for your senior photography session. If you have any questions or need further advice, don't hesitate to reach out to your photographer. They're there to help you look and feel your best in front of the camera.
