What to wear for senior portraits

Every senior has his or her own style.  It’s that time in life when you’re figuring out who you are and wardrobe selection is personal and different for everyone!  It’s so important to feel good in your own skin and in the clothes that you wear, especially for your senior portraits.  I like to chat with my seniors before a session and get to know them and their style a bit.  Would your senior never be caught in something formal?  No problem.  We will start the session in the most formal thing that they will wear.  That could be slacks and a polo for guys or a romper for girls.  I’m happy if the clothing is chosen by the senior and they feel good in it.  Then, we move on to more and more casual clothing.  We usually end the session in jeans and a t-shirt because let’s face it, that’s what they wear most of the time.  And that’s what I would wear too if I could get away with it 🙂  When choosing clothing for the session, keep patterns to a minimum and rely mostly on solid colors.  Choose pieces that you love.  Texture and layers are great!

A session with Alissa

Alissa chose a gorgeous white short dress to start off her senior session.  I loved the lace and detail and the length of the dress made it youthful and fun!  She looked amazing in this dress.  Then she changed into another dress in a reddish color with a jean jacket on top.  It was so cute and fun and the color was fantastic, especially given the urban scenes in the background.  What is your senior’s style and how will the clothing help reflect their personality?  I’d love to chat about that!

One outfit isn’t enough. Here’s why…

In branding sessions, we plan intentionally—from your wardrobe to your messaging—so your photos work everywhere your brand shows up.

I always recommend bringing multiple outfits: start with your most formal look and end with something more relaxed. This gives you a versatile set of images—perfect for everything from LinkedIn to your About page to your social media.

✨ Pro tip: Think layers, textures, and pieces that feel like you.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

When people land on your website or socials, they want to know who you are.

But when you rely on stock photos, you risk looking generic, disconnected, or even untrustworthy — and that could be costing you real opportunities.

Here are 5 reasons to book a professional branding session and invest in photos that are genuine and authentically you:

1️⃣ Build connection. Real faces build real trust.

2️⃣ Show your personality. Let your brand voice shine visually.

3️⃣ Stand out. Your competition is using the same stock photos. You deserve better.

4️⃣ Get consistency. Custom photos align with your colors, vibe, and messaging.

5️⃣ Boost confidence. When you love your photos, you show up more.

📩 Ready to ditch the stock and show up as the real you?

Contact me to book your branding consultation today! I’d love to help you elevate your presence.

If I had a dollar for every time a client said, “I’m not photogenic”… I could retire.

But here’s the truth:

That phrase? It’s not a fact.
It’s a story you’ve been telling yourself — one of those “little t” truths that feels real, but isn’t.

The real truth?
✨ You are photogenic.
📸 You just haven’t had someone help you see it yet.

Most of us aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Most of us feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s NORMAL.

But with the right lighting, posing, angles — and someone who knows how to bring out your best — that all changes.

You don’t need to look like anyone else.
You just need to feel like you.

And that’s where I come in. 💛

Ready to finally love the way you show up in photos? Contact me — I got you.

Want people to remember you? Start with this 👇🏻

Your face is your most powerful branding tool — and science backs it up. 🧠

We’re wired to recognize and remember faces, especially when we see them consistently. So if your headshot is outdated, inconsistent, or missing altogether… you could be missing out on real connections.

Here are 5 reasons to invest in a professional headshot that aligns with your brand:

1. First impressions happen online. Make yours count.

2. Visual consistency builds trust. People recognize what they see often.

3. A polished photo = instant credibility.

4. It helps people feel like they know you. Before you’ve even met.

5. Recognition = recall. Repetition helps people remember you.

📩 DM me to book your consultation — let’s create a headshot that helps your brand stick.
