Tips for High School Senior Portraits

The senior photo session is scheduled with the photographer. You’re now planning for the session. Here are a few tips to keep in mind for your high school senior portraits:

Do plan ahead for wardrobe. Think about your wardrobe and lay out what you plan to wear…down to the socks and shoes. Make sure that it fits and is clean and pressed. Bring options for formal and casual wardrobe if you’d like. Stick with solid colors instead of patterns.
Consider props. You’re welcome to bring props to your session like a letter jacket, track shoes, instrument, or something that represents who you are.
Don’t worry about the things you can’t control. I will take care of blemishes, stray hairs, etc. in post production so please don’t worry about those things.
Hair and makeup for ladies – wear a little more makeup than you’d wear on a daily basis. Keep powder on hand as well during the shoot. Stick with hairstyles you are comfortable with. Bring something to put up your hair for a different look at the end.

Senior Session with Conor

Conor and I had a fantastic senior session! I am absolutely in love with the full body shot in the suit leaning against the white pillar. So classic! The sun was pouring in behind the gazebo and was just perfect. We got several shots in the suit before he changed into a dark blue button down and jeans. He felt comfortable in this outfit and you could tell that it was “him”. He had a final outfit for the field as the sun went down. Although he’s more urban than country, I still love that image with the field and tree in the background.

Let’s talk about a few common mistakes that can totally throw off your branding session 👇🏻

❌ Unplanned Outfit Choices

Random, last-minute outfits = a scattered visual message. Your photos should reflect your brand intentionally — not just what`s clean in the closet.

❌ No Vision or Direction

If you’re unsure how you want to show up online, your photos will reflect that confusion. A clear brand vision makes all the difference.

❌ Rushing or a Stressed Mindset

Showing up frazzled can impact your energy, your expression, and how confident you feel on camera (and it shows!).

✨Here’s the good news - you don’t have to figure this out alone. I guide you through it all with:

✔️ A pre-session consult to plan every detail

✔️ Outfit and location guidance that fits YOUR brand

✔️ Confidence-boosting prep tips

When we plan it together, you show up feeling calm, prepared, and confident — and that’s when the magic happens. 💫

📅 Let’s book a branding session that works for you, not against you. DM me or hit the link in bio to schedule your consult today!
