Senior Session 

PREP GUIDE

the SENIOR experience 

tips for your session

clear your schedule

You're going to want to have ZERO stress on the day of your session. You don't want to be thinking about where you need to be afterwards, or feeling rushed that day. Be sure to ask for the day off of work, have your mom or dad ask for the day off work if they're planning to come to the session with you, and clear your schedule of any obligations.

Set Aside Time to Shop

Whether you are planning to put together outfits from your closet, head to a friend's house to borrow their clothes, or purchasing new ones - be sure to set aside one day (or a whole weekend!) to get your outfits selected for your session. This will take some time and you want to make sure you try everything on. Use the style guide below to help you. DO NOT wait until the day before your session to start picking outfits. Trust us on this one! Put your shopping day on your calendar NOW and give yourself plenty of time.

Schedule Beauty Appointments

If you are planning to get your hair colored or trimmed, or get a fresh mani + pedi before your session, make those appointments now. Hair appointments should take place within the 7 days leading up to your shoot. Nail appointments should take place a day or two before.

It is HIGHLY recommended to have a natural colored (light pink or nude) manicure. This is so important! Acrylics, bright or very dark nail polish, or chipped polish is not ideal and will stand out in your photos.

style guide

You will photograph in a few different outfits, so be sure to bring at least 4-6+ outfit options. The day of your session, we will go through the outfits with you and help to make sure we have the perfect outfits for your body type, skin tone, and shooting location choices.

Nude and appropriate undergarments - if you wear a strapless top or dress, be sure to bring a strapless bra option!

Clean shoes that go with each outfit

Complimentary layers

Outfits that make sense for the season

Functional clothing - if you want to get the most out of your poses, you need to be able to sit, squat, stand, etc.

A variety of outfits that show off your true personality - not ALL shorts, or dresses, or pants, etc. Mix it up!

Clothing that fits you well and accentuates your best assets - make sure to try every single piece of clothing on before bringing it to your session!





Wrinkled clothing - make sure to iron or steam everything and bring it all on hangers

Undergarments that don't match or bra straps that show

Dirty or worn out shoes

Dresses, skirts or shorts that reveal too much when moving/posing

Too many outfits of the same type or color

What to Wear

What  Not  to Wear

checklist

Use this checklist as a guideline to make sure you have everything ready for your session so you can feel confident and excited coming in without worrying about forgetting anything! 

two days before session:

All 4-6+ outfit options purchased/picked out

All clothing ironed or steamed and put onto hangers

Undergarments for each outfit cleaned and packed in your bag

Accessories and shoes for each outfit packed in your bag

Haircut/color completed

Nail appointment completed or happening soon (remember - no crazy colors or chipped polish!)

day before session:

Drink plenty of water

Get at least 8 hours of sleep

Wash and dry your hair (it’s important to have freshly shampooed hair)

Exfoliate your face and body

Pack some water and a few snacks to take with you tomorrow

(optional) Set aside a cash tip for your makeup artist - typically $10-$20 is the normal tip range

day of session:

Arrive with a clean and moisturized face

Eat a little something, even if you're not hungry!

Make sure to grab all clothes, shoes, accessories and undergarments that you packed

Leave with plenty of time to get to the studio, get all your stuff inside, and get settled in when your appointment time begins. We will need to begin hair and makeup right away so it's very important to be on time. Please don't arrive more than 5 minutes before your appointment, as we may have clients in and out of the studio.

The guest book album is the best way to feature the most images from your shoot. 

Custom-designed BOX INCLUDING 5 5X7 PRINTS. Seniors also love to put other high school memories inside like their prom ticket, polaroids, etc. 

Designed with your fave images. This piece is wonderful for your grad party table and can standup on its own or be hung on a wall.
