First off, choose outfits that you like! You probably like them because they look good on you, right? Bring a variety of outfits – dressy, casual, sports uniforms, prom dress, etc. The styles now have lots of color and texture and that’s great, but remember to bring along some solid color tops, too. Many of the backgrounds and outdoor locations also have lots of color and pattern and matching up a solid color top will be much easier. Don’t forget to wear the right undergarments – straps show! Boys, remember your dark socks and shoes for your dress pants – white socks show! Pack up all the accessories for those outfits. They are the finishing touches that add sooooo much! If your session includes outdoor locations, bring several pairs of jeans, capris, etc. They may get dirty or wet. I say over pack! If you’re not sure, bring it anyway. We might not use everything, but at least you won’t be wishing you brought something along that you didn’t.

Hazen/Beulah Seniors: there are strict guidelines for the yearbook photo, so remember to bring an appropriate top for that! Girls, you must have some sleeves! Boys, a good choice is a classic polo or button down shirt (ties are not necessary if they aren’t your style)
Great tips Justine! Especially about the yearbook pics. I have had a bunch of grils bring nothing but tank tops…a yearbook no-no around here! Love the new blog look!
Well said Justine…clothing and preparation is so important for senior portraits.
This is such a wonderful way to share the clothing ideas with your seniors. They are lucky- mine come in a text document- LOL! Beautiful!
This is such a great post! I love your guide!
Justine,
I love your new blog!
