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!

Taking team photos that actually look like your team 👇🏻

Clean. Consistent. Professional.

Because when your entire team shows up cohesively across your website, LinkedIn, and marketing… it makes a difference.

It builds trust.
It feels more established.
And it reflects the level your business is operating at today.

If you’re planning a team session, there’s more to it than just picking a date and showing up.

That’s exactly why I created a Corporate Headshot Planner—to help you organize everything ahead of time so your session runs smoothly and your final images feel aligned.

This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ What do you want your brand to feel like?
✅ How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first so your photos actually work for you.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, then let’s plan your session.

It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that actually support where you’re going, you can book through the link in my bio.

You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.

What does your headshot say about you? 🤔👇🏻

It can make you look:
→ confident or unsure
→ approachable or closed off
→ polished or outdated

And most people don’t realize how much that one image shapes a first impression.

Because whether it’s LinkedIn, your website, or a referral… people are forming an opinion before you ever have a conversation.

The goal isn’t just to “have a headshot.”
It’s to have one that actually reflects who you are and the level you’re operating at now.

✨ If your current photo doesn’t feel like you anymore, it might be time for an update—link in bio.

Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I`m curious, what cards have been working for you?
