what to wearlook your best
What you choose to wear for your session is up to you, but we recommend wearing something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and aligns with your personality. Any outfit that you bring will be photographed full length, so be sure to be dressed from head to toe.
Solid colors, long pants, and long sleeves generally photograph well, but feel free to wear what highlights you in the best possible way. During your session, you will move around, so it’s important to avoid clothing that restricts your movements or makes you feel uncomfortable.
When you feel great, that confidence will radiate in your portraits. While formal wear is common, we emphasize the importance of being true to your style so we also encourage casual outfits. Our goal is to capture the real you and let your authentic self shine through!

We love props!
We encourage you to personalize your senior portrait session by bringing in items that represent you. These items could be instruments, hobbies, sports equipment/uniforms or you can even bring your pet!
(Pets allowed at studio sessions only)
We want to make sure that your senior portraits are unique and capture your personality!
Clothing: Get your clothes steamed or ironed to avoid wrinkles. Make sure the fit is right! If your school has a dress code policy, please adhere to it.
Suits: Wear a belt, wear the proper size. Shirts and jackets that are too big may not lay flat and create bulk or wrinkles.
Caps and Gowns: Don’t have yours yet? No worries, we have extras for you to wear during your session!
Ties: Practice tying your tie and get it to the correct length or try to have someone help you. If all else fails our photographers can help too!
Nails: Your hands will be used and seen in images, be sure to avoid chipped nail polish.
Don’t We’veworry! got you covered.
