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!

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here's the thing: I've been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That's why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family's look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you're relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter's dress.

Class of 2026... this is your moment. ✨

You're not just graduating — you're stepping into who you're meant to become. And that person? They deserve to be celebrated.

This year isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of what a senior should look like. It's about showing the world exactly who YOU are:

🎸 The musician who finds peace in melody
🏐 The athlete who never gives up
📚 The scholar who asks the big questions
🎨 The artist who sees beauty everywhere
💫 The dreamer who's about to change the world

Your senior portraits should tell YOUR story. Not a generic version. Not what everyone else is doing. Yours.

Because in 10 years, when you look back at these photos, you should see the exact moment you started believing in yourself.

The moment your story really began.

📸 Ready to tell your story? Send me a DM and let's create something amazing together.
