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!

Here’s the thing—your brand is always evolving.

You might be offering new services, connecting with a different audience, or stepping more confidently into your role as a business owner. But if your photos still reflect where you were years ago, they’re not telling the right story anymore.

📸 Great branding photography isn’t just about looking polished—it’s about feeling aligned.

Because strong, consistent visuals:

✨ Build instant trust

✨ Make your business look cohesive and professional

✨ Help your dream clients see themselves working with you

Your photos should support the business you’ve grown into—not hold you back from where you’re going next.

If you’re ready to elevate your brand, attract the right clients, and finally feel like your photos match your message—I’d love to help you get there.

We live in a visual world.

Whether you`re a realtor, doctor, lawyer, therapist, or personal trainer—your headshot is often someone’s first impression of you.

And in industries where trust is everything… a blurry selfie or outdated photo just won’t cut it.

📸 Here’s why a professional headshot matters:
✅ It instantly communicates professionalism and credibility
✅ It builds connection and approachability
✅ It makes you stand out in a sea of competition
✅ It reflects the quality of service you provide

And the truth is—clients, employers, and collaborators are checking your profile before they ever reach out. What they see should reflect the real you… polished, confident, and ready to show up.

Your headshot isn’t just a photo—it’s part of your brand.

Let’s make it work for you.

📩 Contact me to book your headshot session or ask about upcoming availability!

Here`s your answer 👇🏻

Sometimes it’s the smallest edits that make the biggest impact.

In this before-and-after, I removed the glare from my client’s glasses—not to change who they are, but to make sure their eyes (and confidence) shine through without distraction.

This is a perfect example of what thoughtful editing is all about:
💻 Not heavy filters.
🚫 Not reshaping your features.
✔️ Just refining the details so you feel like the best version of yourself.

From lens glare to flyaway hairs, subtle skin retouching to wardrobe clean-up—I handle the behind-the-scenes so you can focus on showing up relaxed and confident.

Because when you feel good in front of the camera, it shows.

📸 Want a headshot or branding photo that feels like YOU—just a little more polished? Let’s talk. I’d love to work with you.
