What to Wear for Senior Portraits

Planning what to wear for senior portraits is the hardest part of preparing for the session.  First, find things in your closet that you love and feel confident wearing.  You can certainly buy a new outfit for the session but be sure to bring an old favorite as well.  For guys, a casual look and a more formal look (for mom) may be a great option.  Pick colors that look good with your skin tone as well.  Stay away from patterns and pick solid colors instead.  Dress all the way to your feet – so pick out shoes for each outfit.  Many seniors like to bring a college t-shirt and college sign along for a couple of casual shots.

Senior Photos for Josh

I photographed Josh’s older sister when she was a senior in high school.  So photographing him for his senior portraits was so sweet.  She came along on the shoot which made it even better!  I loved having both of them around again.  We even photographed Josh in the same location as his sister.  I will say, though, that the images are completely different in the same general location.  I love Josh’s choices for wardrobe.  He started with a dark blue button-down shirt and jeans.  I think this was my favorite.  I love the image of him standing by the tree.  Then he changed into a maroon t-shirt which I adore with the maroon foliage.  And it helps that he’ll be attending Texas A&M in the Fall.  Finally, the light blue collared shirt looks great on him!  Well done Josh!

It’s almost senior portrait season again… and somehow, it always arrives faster than we expect. ✨

Senior portraits are a way to pause time just for a moment and celebrate who they are right now, before everything changes.

If you’re starting to think about senior portraits, now is the perfect time to begin planning.

📩 DM me to learn more about senior sessions and availability.

One of the biggest reasons people put off booking a branding session?

They have no idea what to expect.

And when you don't know the process, it's easy to talk yourself out of investing.

So here's the truth👇🏻

I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm walking you through every step so you feel confident, prepared, and like you're working with a partner who actually gets your business.

No guessing. No awkward posing. No "figure it out yourself" energy.

If you've been waiting for the right time to update your brand imagery, let's talk. Link in bio to book your free consultation. 📸

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next. 

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

The best part of this job?👇🏼

 Seeing clients recognize themselves in their photos — confident, professional, and proud — never gets old. 

Your kind words, trust, and support mean more than you know, and they’re the reason I love what I do every single day.

Every session is about more than just photos. It’s about helping you feel seen, confident, and represented in a way that truly feels like you.

Thank you to every client who’s trusted me with their story — and shared such thoughtful reviews along the way.

✨ Ready to create images you’ll love just as much?

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you. 

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.
