How to prepare

What to Wear:

Seniors

What to Wear:

Families

  • Comfort: Choose something you're comfortable in. If you're uncomfortable, it'll show in the photos.
  • Personal Style: Consider your everyday look. Your senior photos should reflect your personal style.
  • Solid Colors: Solid colors that complement your skin tone photograph better, especially up close.
  • Patterns: Avoid big or busy patterns.
  • Props: Bring sports equipment, hats, balloons, flowers, frames, musical instruments, books, glitter or other props that will highlight your personality.
  • Comfort: Choose something you're comfortable in. If you're uncomfortable, it'll show in the photos.
  • Seasonal Style: Dress for the season, but keep the style simple.
  • Solid Colors: A solid, complementary color palette works best. Matchy-matchy can be tricky to pull off and not look cheesy.
  • Simplicity: Avoid big or busy patterns and limit any pattern to one group member.
  • Props: Props like wooden letters and simple signs can work well for family portraits.
