you can do for your senior session is secure a great wardrobe.
It can mean the difference between a good portrait of you and an amazing portrait of you. A great wardrobe can be interpreted in many different
ways, but what they all have in common is that they leave you feeling confident, which will show through in your pictures.
So, where do you even start when planning your wardrobe? Well, your senior
portraits should reflect who you are, right here, right now. This is a pivotal
point in your life as you transition from childhood to adulthood. So, each part
of your wardrobe should help to tell the story of who you are. I like to have
my seniors put together at least four completely different outfits. One outfit
they feel extremely comfortable in and would be seen in most days at
school (more on the casual side), another outfit that would be considered
appropriate for current trends (can be more dressy or “out of the box”), an
outfit that describes who they are (think sports uniform, or prom dress) and a
final outfit that would be considered classic or timeless. We all have different
sides that we show the world at different times.
Your senior session can represent you as a whole person, not just one side of
you. Finding inspiration for wardrobe ideas can be as simples as flipping
through your favorite magazine, browsing your favorite store’s website, or
paying attention to the wardrobe from your favorite celebrities. Where you
shop doesn’t matter as much as where you are gathering your inspiration
from. Think about head to toe styling. Add hats, hair accessories, jewelry,
scarves, or whatever else completes your outfit.
The most important thing to remember is that you should feel comfortable
and happy with your wardrobe selection.
