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 truth…

People decide if they want to work with you in seconds - and your visuals do the talking.

If you’re not attracting the right clients, take a look at your branding:

✔️ If your photos don’t reflect your brand, then potential clients won’t see your value.

✔️ If your online imagery is inconsistent, then it can be hard to build trust.

✔️ If you’re not showing yourself in your content, then clients miss the chance to connect with you.

✨ The good news? I can fix all of that.

With a personalized branding session, we’ll create a collection of images that reflect your personality, your professionalism, and your purpose—so the right clients see you and say yes.

I’m the photographer who’s there for your senior year glow-up, your first professional headshot, your dream business branding, and your family’s most meaningful milestones.

When we grow together, magic happens. Here’s why ⬇️

🤍 Real Comfort = Real Confidence
No awkward intros or guessing games—just ease. You already know how I work, and I know how to bring out your natural, authentic energy on camera.

🎯 Sessions That Evolve With You
Prom? Graduation? First job? New business? Expanding family? Each session is tailored to the season you’re in—with intentional visuals that match your moment.

📸 Consistency You Can See
No more jumping between styles or trying to "explain your vibe" every time you book someone new. We’ll create a cohesive visual story that feels like YOU, not just a trend.

🧠 I Know Your Vibe (and Your Best Side)
Once we’ve worked together, I already know the little things that make a big difference—your best angles, what makes you laugh, and how to make you feel confident in front of the lens.

✨ Working with a lifetime photographer means your photos won’t just look good…
They’ll mean something.

Let’s be real—dating is already tough.

Your profile photos shouldn’t be what’s holding you back.

Here’s how personal branding photos can actually help you find your match:

✅ First Impressions Matter
In dating apps, your photo is everything. Low-quality, outdated, or awkward photos can get you passed over—before they even read your bio.

✅ You’ll Get More Views & Messages
Professional lighting, flattering angles, and natural poses = more swipes, more engagement, more chances to connect.

✅ Capture the Best Version of You
I’ll guide you through a session that feels relaxed, fun, and confident—no forced smiles or stiff poses. Just you, at your best.

✅ It’s an Investment in Yourself
You’d update your LinkedIn headshot, right? This is your personal life. A great profile photo says you care about how you show up—and that confidence is attractive.

✅ Better Photos = Better Matches
No more blurry bathroom selfies. A curated, professional look sets the tone for real connection.

This is your sign to stop relying on selfies and start showing up as the confident, attractive, amazing human you are.

📲 Contact Me to book your personal branding session—I’ll help you make an unforgettable first impression.

Let’s talk about what not to bring to your branding session…

As a professional photographer, I’m here to guide you through the entire process—but there are a few things I hope we can leave behind when it’s time to shoot.

🚫 1. Unplanned Outfits
Winging it with wardrobe almost always leads to stress or second-guessing. During your consultation, we’ll talk through outfit options, what photographs well, and how to reflect your brand’s vibe. Want a little extra help? I can connect you with one of my go-to wardrobe stylists to make the process effortless.

🚫 2. No Vision or Direction
You don’t have to show up with a Pinterest board—but having clarity around your brand message is key. That’s why I help you define your vision during our planning call so we can create images that actually work for your business.

🚫 3. A Rushed or Drained Mindset
Your session is an investment in you. So let’s make space for it. Give yourself time to rest, hydrate, and breathe beforehand—you’ll look and feel more confident (and it shows in your photos).

✨ The best part?
I walk you through all of this in your consultation. We’ll cover wardrobe, prep tips, props, posing, and everything you need to show up feeling calm, confident, and fully aligned with your brand.

Ready to create brand photos that look like you and work like magic?

📩 Let's connect to book your session or schedule a free consultation! 📸
