WHAT TO WEAR
As you stand on the brink of an exciting new chapter, your senior portraits are your chance to shine and make a lasting impression. These aren't just photos; they're keepsakes that will be cherished by your loved ones and will decorate your home for years to come. That’s why what you wear to this milestone photo shoot matters as much as the smile you bring. There really aren’t any RULES for what to wear. We can, however, give you some suggestions so your portraits look amazing.
If you are going to have us take your yearbook photo, guys will need to come to their session wearing a plane white undershirt. (Not a shirt affectionately known as a “wife beater.”) The undershirt needs to have sleeves. We will custom fit you for a tuxedo top. Your pants/shoes will not show in this photo.
Girls should wear something like a tank top/tube top, so their shoulders can be exposed. Below are examples of the traditional yearbook photo:
Once your yearbook photos are taken, you can change into your first outfit for your outdoor portion. If you do not want to have a formal yearbook photo taken, we can start your session outside. Please let us know when you call if you need a yearbook photo.
Timeless Outfits: For your outdoor photos, opt for classic, timeless outfits that won't look dated in a few years. Solid colors work best, and avoid busy patterns or stripes. Earth Tones: Choose neutral colors like black, white, gray, navy, or beige. These colors won't distract from your face and will complement any background. Try to avoid colors like deer-hunter orange.
Dress Comfortably: Well-Fitting Clothes: Ensure your clothes fit well. Avoid anything too tight or too loose.
Layers: Consider layering with a cardigan, blazer, or scarf. Layers add depth and interest to your photos.
Consider Your Style: Casual: If you're more comfortable in casual wear, go for it! Jeans, a nice blouse, and sneakers can look great. Semi-Formal: Dresses, skirts, or dress pants with a blouse are perfect for a semi-formal look. Formal: For a more formal vibe, choose a suit, tie, or a dressy dress.
Think about your location when choosing an outfit. A ballgown is perfect for a theater setting like this:
