Taking time to put together a minimum of 3-5 outfits prior to your session will make things go smoothly and allow for more variety in your session. The best plan of action is to bring at least a few different looks that look good, coordinate well, and fit the look for which you are going. You want to keep it modern (like YOU!) and timeless at the same time.

Taking time to put together a minimum of 3-5 outfits prior to your session will make things go smoothly and allow for more variety in your session. The best plan of action is to bring at least a few different looks that look good, coordinate well, and fit the look for which you are going. You want to keep it modern (like YOU!) and timeless at the same time. The location(s) of your session should also help determine what you are going to wear. Will we be shooting in an urban area? In a field? At the beach? Try to plan your outfits accordingly. Think about the settings in some of your favorite fashion ads and note how those environments enhance but don't detract from the clothing and the subject.

Always make sure you are selecting a fit that compliments your figure. A good fit is one that skims the body, makes you look smooth, and is neither too tight nor too loose. Don't forget to bring a stylish, casual jacket or sweater (or two or three) to your session to layer on top of different shirts or dresses for fun looks. You can also bring shirts with buttons and cute little collars or looser fitting tops that gather around the waist. Closer fitting, nice t-shirts can be layered under a jacket or sometimes even worn alone. While small details like lace, piping, buttons, and ruffles can be stunning, avoid most plaids or shirts with large patterns. A solid color will almost always be the best choice. Try to avoid bright whites, bright oranges, hot pink, and bright reds. These colors do not photograph well and usually have an effect on your skin tones.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
Even if your arms are in-shape and toned, it is best to steer clear of shirts or dresses with spaghetti straps or sleeveless tops. Sleeve length is an important component of creating a modern yet timeless finished look and when being photographed, the most flattering choices for most girls will be tops with sleeves. Tank tops should only be worn if they are layered under another piece of clothing. If you really have your heart set on wearing a tank top (layered with a cute vest, a scarf, or a chunky necklace, for example), make absolutely sure you feel great in it and bring a cute little sweater or jacket for layering to vary the look. If you do decide to include a sleeveless top, dress, or formal as one of your outfits, make sure it fits beautifully and flatters your figure, especially your arms and shoulder area.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
A tighter tank top can be tucked into your jeans and layered under a top to help slim your waistline if needed. By choosing modern jeans that fit well and are not overly low fitting on your waist, you can create a slim look that flatters your waistline. If you do elect a lower-waisted jean, pair it with a looser-fitting, longer top. If heels or boots finish off your outfit, make sure the jean or pant length is neither too short nor too long. While ideal jean length varies with the style, a general rule of thumb is that your pant's hem should rest comfortably on the top of your shoes. Pair skirts with the right top to create a balanced silhouette. And always remember: it’s the tiniest details that make the biggest difference.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
Layering clothing and accessories is a fun way to add dimension and texture to the feel of your senior portraits. Use what you have (like that pink tee with the cap sleeves and your coolest, most flattering jeans) and combine that with new stuff (hello, cute necklace, fun vest, and awesome heels!) to create layered looks that appear to be straight out of a magazine. Make sure you don’t forget about fun and coordinating accessories like belts, necklaces, earrings, scarves, or jackets, because . . .Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
Jackets, sweaters or shrugs, belts, necklaces, scarves, earrings, and maybe even fashion-forward tights are the finishing touches of a well-thought-out look for your senior portraits. Use one or two accessories to complete an outfit and make it look polished. Don’t be tempted to overdo it, just go for a complete look. Coco Chanel said it best: when accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on. For example, if you choose to wear a necklace with your shirt and ¾ length sleeved jacket, skip the big earrings and the scarf, as that will make your top area look too busy.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
Trendy boots can look amazing when paired with the right dress or pair of jeans. High heels or cute flats are always fun, too, when paired with the right top, skirt, or dress. Plan the shoes you are going to wear when you are planning your outfits and treat them as an accessory to make your look perfect; bring at least a couple of pairs with you. If your shoes show your tootsies, make sure your toenails look nice!Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
Please do not include any clothes with name-brand logos among your choices. It is just too casual looking and distracting for your senior portraits, although graphics on clothing is fine as long as it is part of the whole look. Make sure to bring items to the session that help define who you are and what you love; such as a guitar, volleyball, or kleats. Remember, these images are about self-expression, who you are in this moment. Use your creativity! Finally, try to make one of your outfit choices something your mom loves even if you don’t! Everything else can be your style, your flare; just do not forget something mom or grandma will love. Other than that, be true to you. Your clothes should represent who you are and what you love right now in your life!Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
If you are having trouble deciding on what outfits to select, dont be afraid to bring EVERYTHING that you love! We can narrow it down according to location, but set aside your absolute favorites including the one outfit you know for sure that you want to wear. There is no limit to the amount of outfits you can have for your session but keep in mind, all of the time we spend discussing your outfit options and you are changing your clothes, it is cutting into your time in front of the camera. Your session time starts when we meet and ends when we leave so its including all of the time you are spending in the dressing room as well. : )Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
You can check out magazines, store mannequins, visit online shops, fashion blogs, or local boutiques to get ideas for your session outfits. Look at all the little details of ensembles you like–clothes, makeup, hair, accessories. By simply starting to notice how professionals put cohesive looks together, you’ll begin to learn from their processes and eventually begin to create outfits of your own that look professionally styled.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5

You want only the most flattering looks for your senior portraits, so go through your closets first and figure out what looks good and what doesn’t from the clothing you already have. When you try on each piece of clothing, look at yourself in a mirror and ask yourself the following questions:

~ Does it look good?
~ Does it fit me right?
~ Does it flatter my body?
~ Is it a great color for me?
~ Can I recreate looks I like with pieces I already have in my closet?

Always make sure you are selecting a fit that compliments your figure. A good fit is one that skims the body, makes you look smooth, and is neither too tight nor too loose.
