Seniors What to Wear!

Preparing your senior for their pictures can be a difficult task. One of the biggest questions I get is "What should I wear?" "What type of things should I bring?"

So today I would like to give you a few clothing tips to make your Senior Portraits a memorable one!

What Should you wear?

Clothes should represent who you are and how you want to be remembered. Try to keep them simple and most of all comfortable! Keep in mind that during your shoot you will be moving around a lot (sitting, standing, laying on the ground) and you want to make sure you will be comfortable while doing different poses. Since your shoot will happen outdoors and walking will be involved try to keep your shoes comfortable as well. Or bring an extra pair of slip on shoes to wear while walking!
Another factor to keep in mine is your year book photo. Check with your school to make sure of the regulations on what is required and not allowed. Typically this photo is done first!

What to bring?

Are you into sports? Music? Have a special hobby? Feel free to bring your own props to add to your photos. After all these photos are to represent you as a person!
I also suggest bringing water, snacks, touch up make up, hair brush, and a friend or two!
But most of all bring your smile and have fun!!

What to Wear: Families and Children

You searched and searched and you finally found the perfect photographer. Your session date is set and retainer paid! Then you realized, you have no idea what to wear!

Clothes are an important aspect of your photos, and today I hope I can help you by giving out a few tips on what to wear to your photo session.

Families/Children
-keep it simple
      simple clothing will help to bring out your personal beauty.
-Be comfortable
      Chances are you will moving around a lot and changing positions and  locations during your photo session. Wearing both comfortable clothes and shoes    will make your experience more enjoyable.
-Be yourself
       Wear clothes that represent who you are! When you look back at your photos you want to look back and remember who you were at that time!
-Prepare you outfit(s) of choice the night before
         Make sure your clothes are ironed and fit properly the night before. For little ones bring a couple extra outfits just in case of stains or accidents.

So as you can see choosing your outfit for your photo shoot shouldn't be to hard! Be yourself, be comfortable and be prepared! If in doubt ask your photographer for pointers!

A Joy to Photograph!
